Sanju Environmental Protection’s expansion of its second-generation biodiesel production in Hebi
Thread Content
Li Lin, president of Beijing Sanju Environmental Protection New Materials Co., Ltd., said at the meeting that on August 23, following the completion of the expansion and renovation project for the suspended bed reaction system in Hebi, Henan, and its successful commissioning, the production capacity of second-generation biodiesel (HVO) nearly doubled. This not only helps to alleviate the current shortage of available products but also lays a solid foundation for the operation of larger-scale industrial facilities in the future, representing an important step forward for the company in the field of green bioenergy industries. On July 2, 2019, Sanju Environmental Protection used an industrially demonstration unit for MCT suspended-bed hydrogenation that boasts world-leading capabilities to successfully produce second-generation biodiesel from biological waste oils such as palm acidified oil, gutter oil, and swill oil, thus setting a global precedent for the use of suspended-bed hydrogenation technology in the production of second-generation biodiesel. As of June this year, a total of 40,000 tons of second-generation biodiesel have been produced, all of which were exported to Europe, where demand far exceeds supply.
To further increase production capacity, Sanju Environmental Protection began a three-month upgrade of the facility at the end of May this year, upgrading the existing fixed-bed system to a suspended-bed system. This upgrade enabled the processing capacity to be increased from 60,000 tons per year to 100,000–120,000 tons per year, without requiring significant additional investment. According to Li Lin, the focus of this renovation was to innovatively develop a suspended-bed reaction system based on Sanju Environmental Protection’s MCT suspended bed, combining the advantages of both suspended beds and fixed beds. Through the synergy of high-efficiency catalysts and new processes, a dual-circulation control system for the facility was implemented, resulting in a significant increase in production capacity and a reduction in energy consumption. During the commissioning process, they overcame numerous technical challenges such as catalyst sulfidation, establishment of a dual circulation system, and starting up beyond the reaction temperature threshold, and identified the optimal process operating conditions, thereby paving the way with technical foundations for the company to further expand its product supply capacity.
June 22, 2018 · According to a report from Company E, Sanju Environmental Protection announced on the evening of the 22nd that the MCT suspended-bed hydrogenation technology for treating low-quality heavy oil, developed in collaboration with its partners, has recently passed the technical evaluation conducted by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, and a certificate recognizing this technological achievement was issued. The evaluation committee believes that this achievement is highly innovative, with its key technical indicators at the international leading level; it holds great significance for advancing the technology related to the processing of low-quality heavy oil in our country. If this technology is widely adopted in our country, and considering that our country processes 600 million tons of crude oil per year, it would be possible to produce an additional 60 million tons of refined oil, generating 120 billion yuan in extra profits each year.

This morning, the groundbreaking ceremony was held for the launch of 100 key projects worth hundreds of millions each in Xiaoyi City for 2017, as well as for the Pengfei million-ton-level coal tar super-suspension bed hydrogenation project. The super suspended-bed hydrogenation project utilizes the suspended-bed hydrogenation technology developed by Beijing Sanju Environmental Protection New Materials Co., Ltd. With a total investment of 5.5 billion yuan, it is expected to create 448 new job opportunities once operational, generating annual profits and taxes amounting to 2.012 billion yuan. The construction of this project breaks away from the traditional coal tar processing practices in the country, filling a gap in Shanxi’s industrial sector. It enables the conversion of waste oils, residue oils, tar, crude benzene generated during coke production, as well as agricultural waste such as straw, into chemical products, with a conversion rate of up to 99.7%.
Lin Ke, President of Beijing Sanju Environmental Protection New Materials Co., Ltd.: The MCT super suspension bed technology was developed over a period of five to seven years by Beijing Sanju Environmental Protection and Beijing Huashi Energy, with investment of over one billion yuan in research and development efforts. This advanced technical system overcomes key technical challenges related to catalysts and core reactors. Its application in high-temperature coal tar will surely promote the higher-quality utilization of high-temperature coal tar in China, as well as facilitate the transformation and upgrading of the entire coking industry. The commencement of this project marks further improvement in Xiaoyi Pengfei’s modern coal chemical enterprise model, which features a closed-loop, fully circular, full-industry-chain approach to raw coal extraction, refined coal production, coke manufacturing, and fine chemical production.
Sanju Environmental Protection and CNPC East China Design Institute Co., Ltd. held a signing ceremony in Beijing for the \"Framework Agreement on Cooperation in MCT Suspended Bed Hydrogenation Technology for Low-Quality Heavy Oil.\" Both parties will jointly carry out the market development and promotion of this technology. Market experts believe that this partnership between two strong players means an accelerated pace in the marketing and development of MCT suspended-bed hydrogenation technology – a heavy-duty processing technique developed by Sanju Environmental Protection that represents the world’s leading standards in this field. It also indicates that Sanju Environmental Protection is using its technology as a tool to gain market share, taking concrete steps forward in its strategy to collaborate with major petrochemical companies.
China’s first MCT suspended-bed hydrogenation industrial demonstration unit developed by Sanju Environmental Protection has been operating safely and stably for over 500 days since its first operation in February 2016, indicating that China’s heavy oil processing technology has reached an internationally leading level. During operation, this device processes different types of low-quality oils in order to verify the suitability and reliability of MCT technology as a raw material. From December 17, 2016, to January 14, 2017, Xinjiang naphthenic high-calcium heavy oil provided by China National Petroleum Corporation’s Karamay Petrochemical Plant was processed. The data showed that the yield of light oil increased from 60% under traditional techniques to 90%, demonstrating the advancement of this technology. From May 31 to June 3, 2018, 40% catalytic slurry plus 60% intermediate base crude vacuum residue supplied by Sinopec Jingmen Branch was processed. During the same period, the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation organized experts to conduct a 72-hour continuous operation calibration of the facility. The calibration results show that at temperatures above 530°C, the conversion rate of residue is 90.4%, the liquid yield is 88.3%, and the heavy metal removal rate is 99.8%. Indicators such as conversion rate and light oil yield are at the international leading level.
Impressive, all exported to Europe! Some of us are still questioning this and that: L
