【Major Equipment in the Chemical Equipment Industry】048 – Domestic large-scale methanol synthesis towers
Thread Content
The past decade has been a period of rapid development for China’s chemical industry, marked by the emergence of many new processes, products, and equipment. There has also been significant progress in China’s chemical processing equipment, which has contributed to the swift advancement of the petrochemical sector. Here, we have compiled some of the achievements and breakthroughs made by Chinese equipment manufacturers in terms of larger-scale production and greater use of domestic equipment. We invite everyone to share their insights and discuss these topics together; let’s cheer for Made in China and support the development of chemical processing equipment! ***********************************
The methanol synthesis tower, a key piece of equipment in Ningxia Baofeng’s project with an annual production capacity of 2.2 million tons of methanol, is currently the largest methanol synthesis tower in the world in terms of coal-based methanol production capacity. This project utilizes technology from the British company David Brown; it is also the first domestic production project for David Brown’s methanol synthesis towers, manufactured by Dongfang Boiler. In the industry, David’s methanol synthesis tower is characterized by its high level of technical maturity and the difficulty involved in its manufacture. This technology features an independent four-tube bundle arc-shaped heat exchange tube structure, with tube bending, tube insertion, welding of dissimilar steels for sealing, and the assembly of the casing with the tube bundle being the four key challenges in its production.
