Before his passing, the 900,000 tons per year propane dehydrogenation cryogenic tank, developed by Hangzhou Hangyang Co., Ltd. for Qingdao Jinneng New Materials Co., Ltd.’s project related to the integrated use of new materials and hydrogen energy, was successfully put into operation, producing qualified products. This project is the flagship initiative of Qingdao’s green chemical industry cluster, which is valued at hundreds of billions. The two propane dehydrogenation units with an annual capacity of 900,000 tons each are the core components of the world’s largest ongoing propane dehydrogenation projects, setting a new record for the production capacity of a single factory in the world. Among them, the cryogenic tank and plate-fin heat exchangers of the low-temperature separation process system were designed and manufactured by Hangyang; this marked the first successful application of domestically produced equipment such as cryogenic tanks and heat exchangers for a 900,000 tons/year LUMMUS process propane dehydrogenation unit. To date, Hangyang has undertaken the construction of all cold box separation systems for the 5 domestic propane dehydrogenation units equipped with the 900,000 tons per year LUMMUS process. The successful commissioning of this project provides important guidance for the design of subsequent projects, further strengthening Hangyang’s position in this field.
