Thread Content
On November 24, the first heavy equipment of the Hunan Petrochemical Biomass Gasification Flexible Platform project, a conversion furnace weighing 95 tons, was successfully lifted into place. The converter is one of the key core equipment in this project. For this lifting operation, a 1,250-ton crawler crane was used as the main crane, with a 260-ton crawler crane serving as the auxiliary crane. Sinopec Ningbo Engineering Company, the EPC (design, procurement, construction) contractor for the project, carefully coordinated all aspects of the operation, strictly controlling every stage of the lifting plan’s preparation, review, and validation. By establishing a solid foundation for safety and quality control and making full use of the advantages of integrated EPC management, it was ensured that the equipment was placed in position accurately during the first attempt at lifting. Currently, the overall progress of this project has reached 76.05%. Subsequently, the lifting operations for the fluidized bed gasifier and the second- and third-stage steel structure modules will be carried out in sequence as planned, with the completion of the gasification framework’s roof installation expected by December 5.
The Hunan Petrochemical Biomass Gasification Flexible Platform project utilizes the pressurized circulating fluidized bed (SFBG) and gasized fluidized bed (SEBG) biomass gasification technologies independently developed by Sinopec. It plans to build a biomass gasification unit with a capacity of 100 tons per day using the gasized fluidized bed technology, as well as another unit with a capacity of 150 tons per day using the fluidized bed technology, thereby creating a flexible platform for conducting experiments with multiple bed types and various feedstocks. The project is expected to reach mechanical completion by December 30, 2025. Once operational, it will be able to switch flexibly between two gasification technologies for full biomass gasification, with the capacity to process 150 tons of biomass pellets per day and generate 5,700 standard cubic meters of effective gas per hour. The syngas produced will be fed into synthesis units for liquid ammonia production. This platform not only provides essential engineering validation support for the large-scale application of these two autonomous gasification technologies, helping Hunan Petrochemical to achieve efficient utilization of biomass resources, but it also reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 140,000 tons per year, resulting in significant environmental benefits.
