【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Engineering Equipment】China AECC’s First 7MW Gas Turbine from 2018 to 2023

Thread Content

Ten years of rapid development in chemical engineering technology; praise for China’s prosperity and strength. This is just a starting point to encourage more participation from everyone. HaiChuan becomes even better with your involvement – we welcome all to join in the forum discussions. Be careful with fire risks as the heat increases in July. ---------------------------------------------- On June 12, 2023, the AGT-7B gas turbine unit used in the external transmission compressor project for the second phase of the Ningbo terminal expansion project, developed independently by AECC, was completed and shipped out. This marks the first time that a 7MW gas turbine has been put into practical use, which is of great significance for promoting the use of domestically produced equipment in natural gas pipelines. “The combustion-driven compressor unit is regarded as the “heart” of natural gas pipelines, and it is a key piece of equipment that ensures the safe and reliable operation of these energy ‘arteries’. The AGT-7B gas turbine is China’s first 7MW-class lightweight aero-engine modified to use gas as fuel, developed based on advanced aero-engine technologies through independent research and development. It is a dual-use model featuring high efficiency, compact size, fast startup time, long service life, and high reliability.
