【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Equipment】PetroChina’s First 1,200 m³/h Alkaline Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Production System from 2015 to 2023

Thread Content

Ten years of rapid development in chemical technology – praise for China’s prosperity and strength. This is just a starting point; more participation from everyone will make things even more lively. Haichuan becomes even better with your involvement; we welcome everyone to join in the forum discussions. The fragrance of rice flowers in August ----------------------------------------- On August 15, 2023, on the occasion of the first National Ecology Day, China’s first 1200 cubic meter per day alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production system, developed independently by Bao Shi Machinery, and also the first of its kind in the western region, was successfully unveiled in Baoji. It was then shipped and delivered to the Tuhua Oilfield Company. This marks a milestone-like, transformative step forward for the gemstone machinery industry, as it moves toward accelerating its transition toward greener and lower-carbon practices, and toward becoming a research, development, and manufacturing hub for hydrogen energy equipment in China and Baoji City. The Gem Machinery Company’s 1,200 cubic meter alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production system consists of various components such as an alkaline electrolyzer, a flexible liquid-gas separation unit, and a rectifier transformer. The system features a design with high electrical density and low energy consumption. Its rated hydrogen production capacity is 1,200 cubic meters, with an operating pressure of 1.6 MPa and an operating temperature of 94°C. The purity of the hydrogen produced is 99.9% (before purification). The DC power consumption meets the first-level energy efficiency standards specified in the GB32311-2015 standard for energy efficiency limits and grades of water electrolysis hydrogen production systems, and it incorporates technological innovations in various aspects. This system features high efficiency and low energy consumption, automated control, real-time operation monitoring, and strong adaptability to green electricity. It can be widely applied in integrated, large-scale green hydrogen production scenarios such as coal chemical industry, petrochemical industry, steel metallurgy, transportation, and new energy power sectors, offering users an ideal system solution for minimizing the cost per unit of hydrogen produced. As two regional companies under the group’s oil and gas and new energy sectors as well as the support services sector, Tuhua Oilfield and Bao Shi Machinery each possess their own strengths in areas such as oil and gas exploration and development, the advancement of new energy initiatives, and contributing to the group’s goals related to carbon reduction. They therefore have broad prospects for cooperation. The 1200 cubic meter per day alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production system project is one of the key cooperation projects between the two parties in the field of new energy. He hopes that both sides will focus on the group company’s \"three-step\" strategic plan, seize the favorable opportunities presented by the rapid development of the new energy sector, and start with the cooperation on the 1,200 m³/h alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production project. By continuing to strengthen cooperation in the field of new energy, they can make new and greater contributions to ensuring energy security and helping the group company become a world-class comprehensive energy enterprise. At the press conference, Gem Machinery signed agreements such as the \"On-site Application Agreement for 1200 m³/h Alkaline Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Production System\" with the Tuha Oilfield, Xi’an Jiaotong University, and Shanghai Reshaping Group. In the future, Gem Machinery will continue to deepen its cooperation with its partners to develop high-quality hydrogen-related products, achieve more successes in the field of new energy, and contribute solutions to helping China meet its \"dual carbon\" strategic goals.
