On the morning of May 31, the hydrogen compressor 1602-C-001B of the gas separation unit in the methanol production facility of Yushen Energy Chemicals, part of Yan’an Petroleum’s 500,000 tons per year coal-based ethanol project, successfully completed its first \"no-load\" test run. It is understood that the hydrogen compressor in the gas separation unit was designed and manufactured by Shenyang Yuanda Compressor Co., Ltd., while the drive motor was produced by Wolong Electric Nanyang Explosion-Proof Group Co., Ltd. This compressor is model 2D80-49.7/30.5-53.3; it belongs to the category of symmetrically balanced reciprocating compressors with two cylinders for single-stage compression. The cylinders are horizontal and double-acting, and this compressor is one of the key components in gas separation systems, primarily used to supply sufficient hydrogen for ethanol production facilities. To ensure the successful commissioning of this hydrogen compressor, the methanol plant developed a series of scientific and reasonable plans. With the active cooperation of various workshops, departments, and participating units, and after completing the preliminary preparation work, the motor operated smoothly, the oil system and water system functioned properly, and the hydrogen compressor in the gas separation unit completed its first test run at \"zero load\" successfully. The successful commissioning of this unit marks the official transition of the gas separation equipment in the methanol plant to the \"zero-load\" testing phase for the unit, providing a guarantee for the subsequent joint testing and smooth operation of the unit. It also offers strong support for the unit’s long-term stable operation once it is put into full production.
