Wishing everyone a happy New Year, and may their families be safe and healthy. I hope this contribution will inspire further discussion from everyone – with your participation, the forum becomes even more lively. Haichuan is better with you all; feel free to participate more actively in discussions on this forum. ********************************************** Zhongtian Hechuang owns two methanol synthesis units, each with an annual production capacity of 1.8 million tons, and these units utilize methanol production technology provided by the German company Lurgi. The syngas compression unit and the large-scale water-cooled and air-cooled synthesis reactor are the core dynamic and static equipment of this facility, respectively. Prior to this, the core equipment used in domestic facilities of similar scale was all imported. The syngas compression unit used by Zhongtian Hechuang was jointly manufactured by companies such as Shenyang Blower Group and Hangzhou Steam Turbine Co., Ltd. The key technologies and innovations of this compressor unit lie in aspects such as the specialized model stage for syngas compressors, volute structure, main machine body structure, snap rings, stator, rotor, and drive mechanism. The operation of the Zhongtian Hechuang 2×1.8 million t/a methanol synthesis unit shows that the various technical parameters of the domestically produced large-scale syngas compressors meet the design requirements; the performance of these compressors is good, and they operate smoothly.
