【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Processing Equipment】110,000 Nm3/h (oxygen) Ultra-Large Air Separation Units from 1996 to 2023
Thread Content
Ten years of rapid development in chemical processing equipment – praise for China’s prosperity and strength. This is just a starting point; more participation will make things even more lively. HaiChuan becomes even better with your involvement; we welcome everyone to join in the forum discussions. Everyone should pay attention to safety and know how to handle emergencies. ********************************************* In December 2022, Hangyang announced that it had signed contracts for 8 sets of super-large air separation units. These include the contract for a 6×110,000 Nm3/h (oxygen) air separation unit for Inner Mongolia Baofeng Coal-based New Materials Co., Ltd., as well as the contract for a 2×110,000 Nm3/h (oxygen) air separation unit for Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co., Ltd. On June 15, 2023, final preparations were made in Hangyang for the lifting and shipment of the first batch of equipment intended for the Inner Mongolia Baofeng project. Under orderly supervision, the first batch for Section 6 of the Baofeng project had its tower covers fitted with protective sheets, underwent final inspections, and was then smoothly lifted from a 12-meter-high crane onto a transport vehicle. An hour later, three delivery trucks slowly left the Lin’an manufacturing facility and set off for the Baofeng project site in Inner Mongolia, which was over 3,000 kilometers away.
On June 9, the No. 1 water cooling tower of the air separation unit at Inner Mongolia Baofeng was hoisted into place. Located in the Tuk Industrial Park in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, this project has a total investment of around 47.8 billion yuan. It adopts an innovative production process that combines green hydrogen with modern coal chemical technologies; once completed, it will become the world’s only facility that uses green hydrogen on a large scale to produce high-end chemical products in place of fossil fuels. The water-cooled tower lifted this time is 38.1 meters tall and weighs 73 tons; it was successfully lifted in one go using a 400-ton crawler crane for the main lifting and an 80-ton crawler crane for assisting with the lift. Currently, the project construction has entered the phase of lifting large components.

In February 2022, Air Liquide commissioned the world’s largest oxygen production facility in South Africa, an air separation unit with a daily oxygen production capacity of around 5,000 tons, equivalent to 150,000 Nm3/h. The facility was built by Air Liquide’s Sasol plant in Secunda, with an investment of 200 million euros. Oxygen supply for the (Secunda) production facility. This is the first time that Sasol has outsourced its industrial gases. Air Liquide has a long-term partnership with Safran. Over the past 40 years, Sasco has supplied 17 air separation units, with a total oxygen production capacity of over 45,000 tons per day. The latest unit was designed and manufactured by the Air Liquide engineering and manufacturing team, utilizing the group’s latest technologies as well as several innovative air compression processes that are used for the first time, enabling a reduction in annual electricity consumption of over 20%. Reportedly, the air separator is located at the Sasol Seckondra plant in South Africa (about 140 kilometers east of Johannesburg). As planned, Air Liquide completed the design and commissioning of the new air separator in less than 3 years. The new air separator also produces liquid gases, meeting the growing demand for industrial gases in South Africa.
Give a thumbs up to the great development of chemical technology
