[Ten years of development of chemical equipment] 1027-2022 Complete sets of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE for short) equipment

Thread Content

Chemical technology has developed greatly in the past ten years, praising China's prosperity and strength. It is more lively and more exciting with everyone's participation. Everyone is welcome to participate in more forum exchanges and discussions. July fires, pay attention to fire prevention ------------------------------------------------- On December 27, 2022, Sierbon Petrochemical's 20,000 tons/year ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) unit was successfully started up in one go and produced qualified products. The main devices of the stripping system and drying system, including the primary stripping kettle, the secondary stripping kettle, the dust collector, the condenser, the dehydrator, the steam pipe dryer, the washing tower, the agitator, the mist eliminator, the filter, and their system design, piping, and 3D models are all undertaken by Tianhua Institute. UHMWPE is a thermoplastic engineering plastic with excellent performance, which has good impact resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in cutting-edge fields such as marine engineering, rail transportation, petrochemical industry, new energy materials, etc. It is called the "magic plastic of the 21st century". In recent years, with the rapid development of new energy vehicles, high-speed rail, medical bionics, high-performance fibers and other industry technologies, the demand for UHMWPE has increased significantly. In the field of new energy, UHMWPE has become one of the hottest lithium battery separator materials due to its strong resistance to external force puncture, melting without collapse at high temperatures, and extremely high safety performance. It is expected that by 2025, the domestic UHMWPE separator material demand will have an average annual compound growth rate of more than 30%, and the market will usher in a period of rapid development with great potential. Following the Sierbon UHMWPE project, Tianhua Institute seized market opportunities and expanded development space, and successively signed supply contracts for 100,000 tons of UHMWPE from Shandong Yulong, 100,000 tons from Tianjin Nangang, and 20,000 tons from Levima New Materials. In the future, it will further expand new application markets and inject strong momentum into the development of Tianhua Institute.
