[Ocean Chemical Engineering News] Chengda Engineering signed the InoChem Soda Ash Calcium Chloride Project

Another major project was won by China.

Chinese automotive products and technologies are moving towards internationalization. This project uses Chengda's own soda ash technology, and all equipment and materials adopt Chinese standards and are made in China.

Is there any titanium equipment for such a project?

The carbonization tower adopts Chengda's independently developed patented technology and is currently the carbonization tower with the largest single production capacity in the world. Since its operation, it has shown the advantages of large production capacity, coarse crystal particles, low tower pressure difference, high absorption efficiency and high conversion rate. It has not only significantly reduced equipment construction investment and operating costs, but also effectively improved product quality. The successful operation of the carbonization tower has promoted the advancement of technology and equipment in the soda ash industry and represents the international leading level. The carbonization tower is the core equipment for soda ash production. The large-scale development and design of the internally cooled carbonization tower faces many technical difficulties. The technical team of Chengda Company has overcome many difficulties through careful design and bold innovation. It has demonstrated good technical and service levels during the technical service process, and has been praised and affirmed by the owner, laying a solid foundation for further cooperation between the two parties in the future. The successful transfer and implementation of the carbonization tower patented technology provides another successful case for Chengda’s technological innovation route of engineering experience summary-R&D-transfer-service-continuous improvement!

Hou Debang's "Soda Ash Manufacturing" was published in New York as soon as possible. Even if it was freezing cold, Hou Debang would go to the Huanghai Chemical Library to check the information regardless of rain or shine. It took him a year to finally complete the first draft of this masterpiece on alkali production written in English. In this book, Hou Debang unreservedly publishes to the public the experience he has gained with his hard work over the years. He systematically introduced the history of industrial alkali production in easy-to-understand language. From the initial alkali production by trona, Lubla method to Solvay method, it also introduces the production process of baking soda, caustic soda by caustic method, caustic soda by electrolysis method, and the processing of chlorine products. In particular, the Solvay alkali production process is introduced in detail in terms of theory, chemical reactions, operating data, production control, equipment structure and technical and economic requirements. Hou Debang wrote this book with the rigorous academic attitude of a scientist. Just when the book was about to enter the revision stage, another unexpected good thing fell from the sky. Hou Debang got an opportunity to study in the United States funded by the "Beijing China Education and Culture Promotion Foundation". After Hou Debang arrived in the United States, he took the time to revise and organize the manuscript while studying. During this period, he received enthusiastic guidance and help from Professor Jackson. What was even more unexpected by Hou Debang was that the American Chemical Society made an exception and accepted the work of a Chinese scholar for the first time, and also included this work in the 65th volume of the Chemical Society Series. The English version of Hou Debang's book on alkali production was published in New York in 1933. That morning, Hou Debang's book was put in the window of a bookstore in New York by a blonde girl. As soon as the door of the bookstore opened, many people who had been waiting for a long time poured in. One of them was an American who was engaged in alkali production. He bought several books by Hou Debang at one time. Because when he was flipping through the preface and table of contents of this new book, he found that in the 27 chapters and 349 pages of the book, he had an exhaustive description of how to carry out industrial alkali production, and it was also equipped with 72 illustrations and 127 practical data tables. A book like this on alkali production that contains both theoretical guidance and practical experience is a rare treasure. It unveiled the mystery of Solvay's alkali production technology over the past 70 years and revealed its secrets clearly, shocking the world. Hou Debang wrote in the preface of the book:: This work can be said to be a breakthrough in the ammonia-alkali process that has been kept secret for centuries. The book describes the ammonia-alkali manufacturing method, describing it in detail as much as possible, and making it practical is the characteristic of this book. It is also believed that in the field of physical chemistry, experience and data in handling large quantities of gases and liquids should be made available to the world and used by other chemical industries. This is the basic motivation for publishing this book. In the book, Hou Debang not only unreservedly introduced the experience he accumulated bit by bit through hard work to readers, but also disclosed to the public a lot of technical information that was considered top secret at the time. In this book, Hou Debang also specifically mentioned that red alkali was produced during the test run in August 1924. He gave a detailed introduction to the reasons for the production of red alkali and the countermeasures to eliminate it. He also made a theoretical summary. In the book, he repeatedly pointed out the necessity of adding sodium sulfide (or ammonium sulfide) to the alkali-making solution, and elaborated in detail the relationship between adding sodium sulfide and preventing the occurrence of red alkali. Fan Xudong once said about this: “Dr. Hou's works are now popular all over the country, opening up the secret realm of alkali production engineering to all mankind. Compared with Solvay's self-contained management, Dr. Hou's noble demeanor is particularly worthy of praise. ” Hou Debang is not only a serious scholar, but also a humble scholar. He never skimps on academic excellence. In a prominent position at the beginning of this work, he respectfully wrote: Dedicated to my dear friend and teacher who helped me - Professor Jackson. After the monograph "Soda Ash Manufacturing" was published in the United States, it has been highly praised by soda making scholars from various countries and respected by soda making colleagues and academic circles around the world. The famous American chemist Mr. Wilson praised: Hou's "Soda Ash Manufacturing" is a major contribution made by Chinese chemists to world civilization! Seeing that the soda ash of China Wynn Company won consecutive gold medals at international expositions, Bu Neimen Company’s * The members were a little panicked. Through people familiar with Wynn, they frequently told Fan Xudong and Hou Debang that Bu Neimen was willing to cooperate with Wynn, and hinted that Bu Neimen would give Fan Xudong and Hou Debang a lot of benefits if they agreed to cooperate. In fact, Fan Xudong knew very well that when Wynn Alkali Manufacturing Company was registered, the British Benemen Company in China * The staff didn't have much reaction to this. Because they never dreamed that in just ten years, the alkali produced by Wynn Company through its own efforts would win a gold medal in the world. When they wanted to change their approach to win over Fan Xudong, they were pushed back by Fan Xudong's words that were neither humble nor overbearing. Fan Xudong's words not only avenged the other party's contempt for the Chinese a few years ago, but also brought an end to their conversation. Bu Neimen was unwilling to give in. Before his plan came to fruition, he made another plan. British representative Nicholson took advantage of the opportunity of the meeting in Dalian to once again send people to express to Fan Xudong and Hou Debang respectively that they were willing to acquire Wynn at a price that was double Wynn's entire investment. In their eagerness to eliminate Wynn, a potential rival in the Chinese market, they resorted to villainous tactics against Fan Xudong and Hou Debang. Fan Xudong replied decisively: “I can't build an alkali plant. I would rather behead my head than sell my soul. ”Nicholson was so speechless by Fan Xudong's words that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Bu Neimen, who became angry and angry, saw the sales volume of Wynn soda ash rising steadily. They relied on their strong financial resources to significantly reduce the price of their own acetic soda in Shanghai, Hankou, Changsha and other places where Wynn soda ash was sold, in an attempt to squeeze Wynn soda ash out of the markets in these three places. In Tianjin, Bu Nei Men maintains its original price. There are different opinions within Wynn on how to respond. Fan Xudong and Hou Debang advocated price reduction, but some people opposed it. Fan Xudong and Hou Debang believed that this was a trap by Bu Nemen. They were waiting for Wynn Company to take back all its products to the Tianjin market. After they annexed other markets across the country, they would then turn around and concentrate their efforts on Tianjin. In the two years from 1926 to 1927, Wynn Company's soda ash price was forced to fall with Bu Nemen's price adjustments one after another. Bu Nemen's alkali price did not stop until it dropped to 40% of the original price.

Breakthrough: The "Chinese Chemistry Model" that creates global competitive advantages all stems from a dream. 　　Many of the leadership teams of Chengda Company, a subsidiary of China National Chemical Corporation, actually grew up from overseas projects. When we were working on the Indonesian soda ash project, there was a quality manager on the construction site who kept saying that Chinese technology and Chinese standards were not good every day. Cheng Daren's heart was deeply hurt. 　　From then on, letting Chinese technology and Chinese standards dominate the world has become a lingering problem for Chengda people for many years. 　　The opportunity to realize your long-cherished wish has finally arrived! Saudi Arabia has proposed a plan to vigorously develop the photovoltaic industry. The production of glass raw materials is inseparable from soda ash, so the Saudi 300,000-ton soda ash project came into being. 　　China is the largest producer of soda ash in the world, and Chengda is the builder of two of the three major soda ash plants in Lianyungang, Tangshan and Weifang in New China. It also has China's own core technology developed by Academician Zhou Guangyao, the successor of Hou's soda production method Hou Debang. Saudis come here to find Chengda. 　　Unexpectedly, negotiations with the owner Saudi Sahara Petrochemical Company lasted for eight years. The focus of the dispute between the two parties was what standards to use. They hired a consulting company, but due to different standards, the project funding remained high. 　　Sometimes at the airport, sometimes on business trips, Abdullah, the owner's vice president in charge of infrastructure, and Xu Gang, Chengda's deputy general manager, argued on the phone. Abdullah spoke loudly on the phone in English.: “The reason why we adopt Western standards is to ensure quality. ”Xu Gang, deputy general manager of Chengda, responded: “We pay more attention to quality. We are pushing a value. What Chengda sells is not products, but value. We will not take the risk of sacrificing Chengda’s reputation! ” 　　The final showdown is from September 28th to 30th, 2017 * * During the three-day negotiation at the Seaview Jiafu Intercontinental Hotel, owner Chairman Said and Chengda Chairman Liu Yiheng sat face to face at the negotiation table. A game that requires foresight, wisdom and courage begins. 　　According to past practice, the offer was as high as US$500 million, and the owner was furious and refused to accept it. The negotiations were tense and reached a deadlock. The next day, a frustrated Said sighed deeply, and the chairman of both parties left. * He walked away and left the negotiators from both sides at the negotiating table. 　　Walking outside the door, Saiyid pulled Liu Yiheng's sleeve and asked: “Is there really nothing we can do? ” 　　“If there is a way, then we must use standards instead! ”Liu Yiheng replied. 　　Ten minutes later, the negotiations were reopened, and both parties reached a consensus to use Chinese standards and make the project in China. The project cost was reduced from US$500 million to US$390 million, ensuring the smooth signing of the contract.……

Awesome, I agree with you. Come on Chengda.
