【Major Equipment in the Chemical Equipment Industry】090 – China’s first domestic LNG skid-mounted vaporizer

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 localization of such equipment. We invite everyone to share their insights and engage in discussions, to cheer for Made in China and to support the development of chemical processing equipment! *********************************** On October 16, 2018, the first domestically produced set of open-type vaporizers (two units in one set), developed by Gansu Lankē Petrochemical High-Tech Equipment Co., Ltd. (Lankē High-Tech) for the project of the receiving station at Sinopec Beihai LNG Co., Ltd.’s Guangxi LNG project, was successfully put into operation. After nearly five months of safe operation, it meets the requirements for production and environmental protection, with all indicators meeting the design specifications. The successful commissioning of China’s first open-type gasifier marks the filling of a gap in the domestic market for large-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) gasifiers, breaking the monopoly held by developed countries such as Japan and the United Kingdom on this product. The open-type vaporizer is one of the core equipment in LNG receiving stations. It uses seawater to heat and vaporize liquefied natural gas (LNG), making it a typical environmentally friendly and energy-saving product. The owner stated that, following comprehensive tests of the production process during the commissioning of the open-frame gasifier, the equipment operates smoothly and safely; all performance parameters and treatment indicators meet the required standards, and its performance is excellent, allowing it to fully replace imported products. The owner expresses its gratitude to Lanke High-Tech for its involvement since 2013 in the development and production of the core equipment for the liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving station project in Beihai, Guangxi. Throughout this period, Lanke High-Tech assigned engineering technicians to the site to provide technical support and services, which played a crucial role in ensuring the successful installation, commissioning, and operation of the equipment, thus making significant contributions to the development of the national industry. It was also stated that efforts will continue to deepen bilateral business cooperation in order to make new contributions to the further localization of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry.
