Happy New Year 2024 **********************【A Decade of Rapid Development in Chemical Equipment】Ongoing updates and summaries available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum) *****************Recently, the synthesis compressor of the ammonia synthesis unit in Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co., Ltd.’s (referred to as “Ningxia Baofeng”) 100,000 tons per year green hydrogen-to-green ammonia and ammonia water production project completed its first successful joint test run. For the 100,000 tons per year project for producing green ammonia and ammonium hydroxide from green hydrogen in Baofeng, Ningxia, undertaken by the company, the primary joint commissioning of the synthesis compressor in the ammonia synthesis unit was successful. In the face of adverse factors such as cold weather and high operational difficulties, the project team planned ahead and coordinated efforts; through multiple simulation tests, it successfully completed the joint commissioning task. Baofeng Group plans to use the hydrogen produced by the \"Water Electrolysis for Hydrogen Production Project\", the nitrogen generated by the air separation unit of the \"Phase 3 Methanol Project\", as well as the deionized water from the \"Phase 1 Power Island\". With an investment of 135 million yuan, it will construct a \"Green Hydrogen to Green Ammonia and Ammonium Hydroxide Production Project\" on the land reserved to the east of the methanol synthesis unit in the Phase 3 Methanol Project, with an annual production capacity of 100,000 tons of synthetic ammonia and 500,000 tons of ammonium hydroxide (20% wt). On January 10, 2023, the green hydrogen-to-green ammonia and ammonia water production project of Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co., Ltd. was approved for registration. On March 1, 2023, the groundbreaking ceremony for Ningxia Baofeng’s vinyl acetate and synthetic ammonia projects was held. Project Name: Green Hydrogen to Green Ammonia and Ammonium Hydroxide Production Project by Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co., Ltd. Location: Baofeng Circular Economy Industrial Park, Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base ； Construction contents: Utilizing the hydrogen from the solar electrolysis for hydrogen production, energy storage and application demonstration project of Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co., Ltd., as well as the nitrogen from the air separation unit of the 500,000 tons/year coal-based olefins project, to build production lines for 100,000 tons/year of synthetic ammonia and 500,000 tons/year of ammonia water ； Utilities such as feedwater, demineralized water, circulating water, and instrument air rely on the existing facilities of Baofeng Group. The solar electrolysis for hydrogen production, energy storage and application demonstration project of Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co., Ltd. is located in the Linhe Comprehensive Project Area of the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base. Construction began in 2021, with the project featuring an electrolyzer capable of producing hydrogen at a rate of 10,000 standard cubic meters per hour, as well as a total installed capacity of 100 megawatts for solar photovoltaic power generation. The solar electrolysis for hydrogen production, energy storage, and application demonstration expansion project of Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co., Ltd. is located in Area B of the Linhe Comprehensive Industrial Park within the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base. The total investment amount is 1,411.85 million yuan, of which 1.88 million yuan is allocated to environmental protection measures. The project mainly involves the construction of water electrolysis hydrogen production facilities and 110kV substations, along with supporting auxiliary and environmental protection facilities such as accident oil tanks. Waste water treatment measures and temporary storage areas for hazardous waste will be established using existing infrastructure. The output of this project is 640 million standard cubic meters of hydrogen per year, along with 320 million standard cubic meters of oxygen as a by-product. Against the backdrop of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, the large-scale use of green electricity and green hydrogen provides effective ways for the coal chemical, petrochemical, and steel industries to reduce carbon emissions. Correspondingly, the widespread use of green electricity and green hydrogen in the chemical and steel industries has created significant market opportunities for the wind and solar power industries, as well as for technologies and equipment used in water electrolysis for hydrogen production, and for the hydrogen storage and transportation sector.
