Recently, the lifting of the first batch of large-scale equipment for this project, which was constructed under the general contract of Tianchen Company, was successfully completed. The equipment to be lifted this time includes 3 water scrubbers and 3 gasifiers. Each water washing tower weighs approximately 252 tons, with a height of around 27 meters. The equipment foundation is located on the ground; an 800-ton crawler crane is used for main lifting, while a 260-ton truck crane is used for auxiliary lifting ； The net weight of each gasification furnace is 349 tons; the height of the furnace body is approximately 25 meters, while the elevation of the equipment’s support points is 39.85 meters. A 1600-ton crawler crane is used for the main lifting operation, with an 800-ton crawler crane assisting in supporting the furnace. The first phase of the Shandong Yulongdao integrated refining and chemical project is planned to have a crude oil processing capacity of 20 million tons per year as well as 2 ethylene production units with a capacity of 1.5 million tons each per year; the total investment required for this project is approximately 127.4 billion yuan. Once completed, the coal gasification hydrogen production project will supply a stable supply of hydrogen to Yu Long Petrochemical’s downstream refining and chemical processing units. The coal-to-hydrogen process route for this project includes multi-nozzle water-coal slurry gasification, three-stage sulfur-tolerant shift reaction, low-temperature methanol washing to remove acidic gases, and PSA hydrogen purification. The designed capacity of the facility is 220,000 m3/h of hydrogen with a purity of 99.9%, which corresponds to 114,000 tons per year of pure hydrogen. Gasification is carried out using a multi-nozzle opposed gasification technology. The inner diameter of the gasifier is 3880 mm, with a design pressure of 6.5 MPa; there are 2 units in operation and 1 as a backup.
