Give praise and encouragement to the achievements made in China’s chemical engineering technology and equipment; your participation in discussions is the greatest encouragement. **********************【Ten Years of Progress in Chemical Engineering Equipment】Regular updates and summaries are available – feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum Website) *****************On December 30, 2024, the first CCUS-EGR carbon capture unit developed by the Southwest Branch was completed one day ahead of schedule, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent operation of the CCUS-EGR pilot project for the Maokou Formation gas reservoir in the Wolonghe Gas Field, which is under the branch’s general contracting responsibility. The CCUS-EGR pilot project for the Maokou Formation gas reservoir in the Wolonghe Gas Field (Import Subplant) is one of China National Petroleum Corporation’s four CCUS demonstration and capacity-building projects. It is also China’s first demonstration project that utilizes carbon dioxide for reinjection in order to enhance gas production. Once completed, it will become China’s first industrial-scale carbon capture project for low-pressure exhaust gases from natural gas purification plants. The project involves the construction of a new chemical absorption-based carbon capture unit with an annual capacity of 26,500 tons, along with dehydration units, pressure enhancement units, and other facilities. Since the implementation of this project, it has faced challenges such as tight deadlines, complex interfaces, the integration of multiple projects, and the need to carry out construction while operations continue. The Southwest Branch managed everything carefully and organized tasks meticulously, successfully completing the demolition of the obsolete training equipment in the new branch facility and its subsequent renovation and expansion. This effort further strengthened the Southwest Branch’s progress in the field of new energy.
