Witness the decade-long rapid development of chemical processing equipment; praise the prosperity and strength of modern China. Replies will be rewarded – discussions are welcome! ------------------------------------------- Recently, South China’s largest hydrogen fuel cell hydrogen supply center was successfully put into operation at Maoming Petrochemical, producing and supplying high-purity hydrogen with a purity of 99.999% to the market. The project has a hydrogen production capacity of 6,400 kilograms per day, and can supply 2,100 tons of high-purity hydrogen to society each year. This project is the only hydrogen supply project in western Guangdong at present, and the hydrogen it produces is mainly supplied for use by private vehicles and urban buses. On December 4, 2022, the first batch of 360 kilograms of high-purity hydrogen, loaded from the hydrogen supply center, arrived at the Sinopec Foshan West Hydrogen Refueling Station located in Foshan City. With the successful first operation of Maoming Petrochemical’s hydrogen fuel cell hydrogen supply center, the company now has the capacity to supply 2,100 tons of high-purity hydrogen to society each year, laying a solid foundation for establishing a \"hydrogen corridor\" that connects Maoming, Yangjiang, and Jiangmen with key cities in the Greater Bay Area such as Foshan and Guangzhou. It is understood that this project utilizes Sinopec’s own pressure swing adsorption technology to build a new hydrogen purification unit with a capacity of 3,000 standard cubic meters per hour, as well as a hydrogen refueling station with a capacity of 3,000 kilograms per day. This setup enables the production of 6,400 kilograms of high-purity hydrogen per day, which can serve the market within a 200-kilometer radius around Maoming. This project is the first phase of Maoming Petrochemical’s hydrogen fuel cell hydrogen supply center, and it is currently capable of meeting the hydrogen needs of 40 buses. The planned development in the second phase will involve adding one hydrogen compressor and two hydrogen filling stations, which will be able to meet the hydrogen needs of 10 filling stations, serving approximately 400 buses or freight vehicles.
