The world’s first single-line production facility capable of manufacturing 100,000 tons of melamine per year is about to be completed and put into operation. Author/Source: Sinochem News Network. Date: April 3, 2023. Clicks: 248. On April 1, it was reported from the Meishan High-Tech Industrial Park in Sichuan that the construction site for the facility designed to produce 100,000 tons of melamine per year in Area D of the Jinxiang Chemical Industry Park in Meishan High-Tech Zone was in full swing, with various construction teams working methodically to carry out their tasks according to the plan. Through the joint efforts of the various construction units involved, the main structures and equipment have all been installed. The project is now in the final stages of installing the process pipelines and electrical instruments, and it is expected to be completed and put into operation by the end of May this year. According to Kong Deli, the person in charge of the project’s engineering command team, this project is the first phase of Sichuan Jinxiang Sairui Chemical Co., Ltd.’s integrated facility for the annual production of 300,000 tons of cyanamide and carbon-nitrogen-based new materials. It represents the world’s first melamine production plant equipped with a gas-quenching process that offers the highest production capacity per unit and the best energy efficiency. Since construction began last November, thanks to the careful planning and precise coordination by the project management team, all participating units overcame challenges such as pandemic control measures and the long Spring Festival holiday. By working together diligently, they managed to achieve a new speed in the construction of Meishan’s industrial projects, completing the construction tasks to high standards in less than half a year. It is reported that this facility utilizes the fifth-generation energy-saving and cost-reducing gas-quenching melamine production technology, which features complete independent intellectual property rights. The comprehensive utilization of energy within the system has been optimized and upgraded, with new-generation reactors, high-temperature filters, crystallizers, efficient cyclone separators, urea washing and purification systems, and catalysts being developed. These advancements will further increase the yield of the product; the overall energy consumption per ton of product is only 45% of the industry’s best levels. This approach aims to completely address the various issues associated with the previous four generations of gas-quenching melamine production technologies, enabling the facility to operate at full capacity safely throughout the year and resulting in a significant improvement in product quality. All equipment and materials for the system are domestically produced, with investment costs being over 40% lower than those of similar technologies at home and abroad. Kongdeli stated that the entire system makes use of the melamine exhaust gas treatment technology developed by the company, making full use of the steam generated as a by-product of the melamine production process. It recovers ammonia and carbon dioxide from the exhaust gases, thereby enabling their high-value utilization. The production process generates no process wastewater or exhaust gases, thus raising China’s green and low-carbon melamine production technology to new heights in the global industry. The integrated project for an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons of cyanamide and carbon-nitrogen-based new materials is a key project for Jinxiang Sairui Company to achieve industrial upgrading in Meishan during the 14th Five-Year Plan period; it has been listed as a key industrial project in Sichuan Province for the same period. Using natural gas as raw material and following an integrated industrial chain plan, the project will be constructed in three phases to create the world’s first green chemical industry base for \"cyanamide family carbon-nitrogen new materials,\" using melamine, dicyanamide, and monocyanamide as synthetic monomers. It is understood that Meishan High-Tech Industrial Park is a provincial-level high-tech park. In January 2022, it was selected as one of the first batch of \"5+1\" key special parks in the province, and in April 2022, it was recognized as one of the first batch of chemical industry parks in the province. The planned area of the industrial park is 64.64 square kilometers, of which 8.47 square kilometers are designated as a chemical industry park. Adhering to the strategic vision of a \"Dual-City Innovation Valley and Green Industry City,\" the park focuses on key industries such as green chemicals, new energy materials, biomedicine, and green foods. It has already attracted numerous leading enterprises in the chemical industry, including Jinxiang Sairui, Wanhua Chemical, and Shida Shenghua. By seizing the opportunities presented by the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin-City Economic Circle and the integration of Chengdu, Deyang, Meishan, and Zibo, the park is accelerating the development of a number of projects that feature globally and domestically innovative technologies, with the goal of achieving an industrial output value of over 100 billion yuan during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. The park currently has 133 enterprises that meet the designated size criteria, including 30 high-tech enterprises. It boasts 1 science and technology enterprise incubator at a certain level, and has won 2 awards as manufacturing industry champions awarded by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
