Reply reward! ---------------------------------------------- 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 engage in discussions, to cheer for Made in China and to support the development of chemical processing equipment! ===================== Recently, Beichong Group of China North Industries Group Corporation successfully secured contract orders for the six types of pipes and boiler tubes required for the second phase of Huaneng Ruijin Power Plant’s 2×1000MW ultra-supercritical double-reheat unit project; the total value of these contracts exceeds 100 million yuan. The successful signing of this contract marks the gradual normalization of the use of Beichong Group’s P92 steel pipes in domestic ultra-supercritical projects, and the company has now become the preferred supplier for high-end thick-walled seamless steel pipes in China.
After rigorous comprehensive evaluation by bid assessment experts from Huaneng Group, Ruijin Power Plant, Shanghai Boiler Factory, the Electric Power Design Institute, and others, Beichong Group was ultimately selected for this project. This order represents another achievement in the domestic use of P92 heat-resistant steel seamless pipes, following the successful completion of projects such as those at Huaneng Nantong, Ningxia Daba, Yantai Bajiao, Beifang Shengli, and Shaanxi Yan’an. It clearly demonstrates the high level of recognition by customers for Beichong Group’s technical capabilities, equipment proficiency, the safety performance of its products, as well as the overall value of the “Beifang Heavy Industry” brand.
Beichong Group took on the project related to P92 large-diameter, thick-walled seamless steel tubes for ultra-supercritical thermal power units, which helped to significantly improve China’s manufacturing capabilities in such tubes. This effort led to the industrialization of their production, thereby covering the \"last mile\" toward the localization of P92 steel tubes.
In 2015, Beichong Group signed a project agreement with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology under the **Strong Foundation Project** for the development of \"ultra-supercritical thermal power unit P92 large-diameter thick-walled seamless steel tube projects\", and received **financial support of 49.8 million yuan**. Subsequently, Beichong Group successfully completed the P92 domestic production demonstration project for the four major pipelines of the 1 million kilowatt unit at HuanDian Jurong Power Plant, thereby achieving the goal of fully using domestically produced materials for the four major pipelines in **supercritical thermal power plants. These breakthroughs in technology and applications mean that the employees of Beichong have mastered the heavy extrusion technology for key materials used in power plants, placing them at the forefront of the world in the development of large-diameter pipes for new-generation power plants, and making significant contributions to China’s power sector development ； These series of technological and application breakthroughs mark a complete reversal in China’s long-term reliance on imported P92 pipes for the construction of **supercritical (ultra-supercritical) thermal power plants. They have not only improved the market performance of enterprises in the field of high-end pipes but also generated significant economic and social benefits.
