Yulong Hangyang’s 3×82,000 Nm³/h air separation unit began producing oxygen. Recently, the third air separation unit in the 3×82,000 Nm³/h air separation project for Shandong Yulong Hangyang Gas Co., Ltd., which was contracted by Hangyang Engineering, started generating oxygen successfully. It is reported that the project is located in the Yulong Petrochemical Industrial Park in Yantai City, Shandong Province. In the future, it will supply products such as oxygen, nitrogen, instrument air, plant air, and coke cleaning air of various specifications to the more than 60 units involved in the Yulong Island refining and chemical integration project (Phase I). The project partially uses high-pressure plate heat exchangers independently developed by Hangyang, which ensured the progress of the construction work. Oxygen production was successfully achieved in Project 1, 2, and 3 air separation units on June 1, August 19, and December 31, 2024 respectively, achieving a satisfactory result with three air separation units being commissioned for oxygen production in succession within half a year. Previously, Hangyang Co., Ltd. announced that it would invest in establishing a gas company and building three new air separation units with a capacity of 82,000 m³/h each. This facility supplies the industrial gas products required for production to the Yulong Island Refining and Chemical Integration Project (Phase I) of Yulong Petrochemical.
