【Major Industrial Equipment in the Chemical Industry】064-World’s First 3,000-ton Oil Sludge Gasification Furnace
Thread Content
The past decade has been a period of rapid development in 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 increased 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! *********************************** On November 9, 2020, the world’s first 3,000-ton oil sludge gasifier was completed and shipped from Dongfang Boiler. This gasifier is the first domestic production project of a Shell oil sludge gasifier; it will be used for hydrogen production from oil sludge at Zhejiang Petrochemical. Its successful manufacture marks another significant step forward for Dongfang Boiler in the field of large-scale, high-end chemical reactors, further enhancing its manufacturing capabilities.

The gasifier is approximately 31 meters in length and weighs 301 tons. It has strict design requirements, high precision is needed for the fit of its various components, making its manufacture challenging. Based on a thorough analysis of past experience with gasification furnace projects, Dongfang Boiler conducted extensive discussions to determine the optimal process scheme, strengthened technical briefings to ensure smooth coordination between various stages of production, and promptly addressed any technical issues that arose during manufacturing – all of which laid a solid foundation for the orderly progress of the projects.
Dongfang Boiler Wins Bid for Shell Oil Residue Gasifier in Zhejiang Petrochemical Project 2019-07-09 20:19 Recently, another success was achieved in terms of market development: Dongfang Boiler won the bid for the Shell oil residue gasifier used in the hydrogen production unit associated with the residue wax oil processing phase of the second phase of Zhejiang Petrochemical’s 40 million tons per year integrated refining and chemical processing project. This gasification furnace is the first of its kind to be manufactured domestically, and it boasts the highest parameters in the world. The owner set strict requirements for the equipment, and invited the most capable domestic companies in this field to compete for the contract. Through the concerted efforts and close cooperation of the people at Dongguo, a major breakthrough was ultimately achieved in making this equipment domestically produced for the first time. This project holds a benchmarking significance and a strong demonstrative effect in the field of integrated refining and chemical production. To date, Dongguo has developed 9 different types of gasification furnace products, and it continues to hold a leading position in the industry in terms of the domestic production of gasification furnaces equipped with internal components, Topsoe methanation equipment, and David methanol synthesis towers.
