The 200-ton gasifier for Hubei JinKong Gas Project was hoisted into place. Author/Source: Huahua Net Coal Chemicals. Date: April 21, 2023. Clicks: 15. On April 18, the gasifier for Hubei JinKong Gas’ project to upgrade its ammonia and alcohol production capacity to 550,000 tons per year was successfully hoisted into place by the Shanxi branch of Sinochem Second Construction Company, marking the entry of the gasification unit’s construction into the critical phase of equipment installation. The gasifier has a total weight of 200 tons; it is the heaviest and most critical piece of equipment in the gasification plant. Its lifting height is 46 meters, while its installation height is 19.3 meters. The project team and the person in charge of lifting operations at Daji Company conducted thorough research and precise calculations on the entire lifting process, and developed a detailed lifting plan. For this operation, an 800-ton crawler crane was used as the main lifting device, while a 150-ton crawler crane was used to assist with the lifting process. The technical upgrade project for Hubei Jinkong Gas Co., Ltd., aimed at increasing annual production to 550,000 tons of ammonia alcohol, is located in the Baling Industrial Park in Dangyang City, Yichang Province, Hubei Province. Using anthracite coal from Jincheng as raw material and employing coal gasification under pressure technology, this project involves the construction of a production line capable of producing 550,000 tons of ammonia alcohol per year, along with associated facilities. The project is constructed in two phases: Phase 1 involves the renovation and relocation of 400,000 tons of synthetic ammonia, while Phase 2 involves the renovation and relocation of 150,000 tons of methanol. For coal gasification, Zhejiang Jinju Chemical Co., Ltd.’s 2.8MPa water-coal slurry gasification technology is employed to replace the existing 40 fixed-bed coal gas generators. Supporting processes such as shift reaction, desulfurization, decarburization, and nitrogen removal are also implemented to replace the conventional process equipment in use. The compression unit involves upgrading the existing compressors and relocating them to the new plant site. For ammonia synthesis, the ammonia synthesis system and chiller system from the old plant site are utilized. These measures aim to carry out energy-saving upgrades to Huaqiang Chemical’s coal gasification processes, thereby reducing the production costs of synthetic ammonia and methanol for the company.
