【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Processing Equipment】World’s Largest Axial Flow Compressor Units for Succinic Anhydride Production from 2020 to 2023

Thread Content

Over the past decade, chemical technology has seen remarkable progress; let’s celebrate the prosperity and strength of modern China. By contributing our ideas, we can foster more active participation from everyone. HaiChuan becomes even better with your involvement – we welcome everyone to join in the forum discussions. Be careful with fire risks as the heat increases in July. ----------------------------------------------In June 2023, Xi’an Shanggu Power Co., Ltd. delivered the large-scale axial flow compressors required for Hengli Petrochemical’s 600,000 tons per year BDO production facility, along with the 4×210,000 tons per year maleic anhydride production units. These are the largest axial flow compressor units of their kind in the world for maleic anhydride production, and they are also the first such units in the world designed for the recycling of exhaust gases from maleic anhydride production. It is understood that maleic anhydride, as an essential raw material for advanced structural materials such as unsaturated resins (UPR), biodegradable plastics (PBAT/PBS), and lithium battery materials (NMP), is a key product in the strategically important emerging industries that are supported. As a leading enterprise in the private chemical industry, Hengli Petrochemical is committed to the strategy of revitalizing the Northeast region, embedding the treasures of the petrochemical industry within this thriving area. The maleic anhydride industry is one of the key components in the expansion of Hengli Petrochemical’s industrial chain. Shanxi Gas Turbine Power has long been involved in the succinic anhydride sector. By offering distributed energy system solutions, as well as world-leading energy-saving and environmental protection technologies such as large-scale axial flow compressors and steam turbines, it develops customized system solutions for energy savings, carbon reduction, and emission cuts. Its ability to achieve efficient utilization of energy systems in industrial installations has won it wide recognition in the market. At present, Shaanxi Gear’s energy-saving and environmental protection products sowie distributed energy system solutions hold a 100% market share in the domestic succinic anhydride industry, contributing continuously to the strengthening of this industry and to the sustainable, green, and low-carbon development of the regional economy. Collaboration between Shaanxi Gas Turbine and Hengli is on the verge of beginning, with the aim of jointly promoting high-quality development of the regional economy as well as the transformation and upgrading of the petrochemical industry in the Northeast.
