【Major Equipment in the Chemical Equipment Industry】113 – The carbon dioxide compressor for the first million-ton-scale CCUS project
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 March 29, 2022, it was learned from the Third Machinery Branch of Sinopec Machinery that the company won the bid to supply the carbon dioxide compressors needed for China’s first million-ton-scale CCUS project; such compressors can be used in environments with high carbon dioxide concentrations and high pressures.

On January 29, Sinopec announced that China’s first million-ton-scale CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage) project – the Qilu Petrochemicals-Shengli Oilfield CCUS project – had been fully completed. The Sinopec Qilu Petrochemicals-Shengli Oilfield CCUS project is currently the largest CCUS full-industry chain demonstration base and benchmark project in China. Construction began in July 2021, and it consists of carbon dioxide capture by Qilu Petrochemicals, as well as carbon dioxide utilization for oil extraction and storage at the Shengli Oilfield. In simple terms, it involves transporting the carbon dioxide captured from Qilu Petrochemical to the Shengli Oil Field, where it is used for CO2-enhanced oil recovery, thereby achieving both increased crude oil production and the sequestration of carbon dioxide.
