Jinling Petrochemical’s water-coal slurry plant sets production record Author/Source: Sinochem News Network Date: April 17, 2023 Clicks: 26 In the first quarter, the water-coal slurry hydrogen production unit at Jinling Petrochemical took various measures to ensure stable operation at high capacity, delivering over 25,000 tons of hydrogen in total and setting a new record for quarterly production. Since the beginning of this year, the staff working at the coal-water slurry hydrogen production facility have consistently adhered to the work standards of \"strictness, meticulousness, and practicality\". They have intensified the \"123\" safety inspection initiative, produced and distributed warning cards regarding violations, effectively implemented measures for risk identification and assessment, and heightened the supervision and evaluation of direct operation processes in order to fully prevent and mitigate safety risks. Strengthen the daily management and maintenance of equipment. At the beginning of this year, the Water-Coal Slurry Hydrogen Production Unit formulated an annual preventive maintenance plan for equipment, specifying the requirements for preventive maintenance of 141 pieces of equipment, instruments, pipelines, etc. Responsibilities were defined and assigned to specific individuals, thereby creating a closed-loop management system for equipment that allows for tracking and accountability. Special protective measures were taken for key equipment such as high-pressure coal slurry pumps, and a task force was established to address technical challenges promptly. Labor competitions related to equipment management were organized at the team level to motivate employees to conduct thorough inspections and eliminate potential hazards. In the first quarter, the department identified and rectified 37 potential hazards related to the operation of various equipment, thereby strengthening the foundation for their safe operation. At the same time, they compared the technical and economic indicators of the equipment with those of historical records as well as the best practices in the industry, identified gaps and weaknesses, and formulated 31 optimization measures. These efforts enabled the resolution of various production issues such as low expansion volume in the expansion machines of air separation units and high pre-change resistance in the purification systems; as a result, the process stability rate remained above 99%, laying a solid foundation for maintaining and increasing production levels.
