Construction of Shenhua Ningmei’s air separation unit cluster completed 2015-12-10 On December 10, 2015, it was reported that the world’s largest air separation unit cluster – the one part of Shenhua Ningmei’s 4 million tons per year coal indirect liquefaction project – has been completed recently. This cluster of air separation units is part of the upstream processing facilities in Shenhua Ningmei’s 4 million tons per year coal indirect liquefaction project; it includes 12 air separation units that are currently the largest in terms of production capacity in Asia, with a designed oxygen production capacity of 100,000 standard cubic meters per hour. This air separation unit cluster is divided into east and west series, with one of the series utilizing the process technology and complete sets of equipment provided by the domestic company Hangyang Oxygen. http://www.chinacoalchem.com/news.asp?id=60664

This facility is also equipped with the largest domestically produced compressor of the 100,000 cubic meter class, namely the Shengyu compressor. In 2014, the first domestically produced ultra-large air separation compressor with a capacity of 100,000 Nm3/h was successfully tested at Shengyu Power, which indicated that Shengyu Power not only possesses the capability to develop and manufacture such ultra-large air separation compressors entirely domestically but also broke the monopoly held by foreign companies in this field. Shanxi Gas Turbine Power stated that it currently has the capacity to produce 12 air separation compressors with a capacity of over 100,000 Nm3/h per year. On the day of the trial run, the company signed framework intent letters for cooperation on the production of air separation compressors with capacities of 100,000 Nm3/h and 82,000 Nm3/h. Air separation compressors are core and essential equipment widely used in industries such as petrochemicals, deep coal processing, fertilizers, and metallurgy. They are core driving equipment, especially in the field of deep coal processing for applications such as coal-to-gas, coal-to-oil, coal-to-hydrogen, coal-to-olefins, and coal-to-ethylene glycol, as well as in metallurgical and steelmaking plants. With the adjustment of China’s energy structure, there is an increasing demand for air separation units, which are also trending toward larger sizes. On the path to promoting the localization of major equipment, Shaanxi Gas Turbine Power has carried out independent research and development on large-scale air separation units with capacities of 60,000, 80,000, 100,000, 120,000, and 150,000 Nm3/h. Furthermore, in the field of advanced coal processing, Shaanxi Gas Turbine Power has also developed a range of compressors suitable for various processing processes. These compressors can provide reliable, safe, and cost-effective energy conversion equipment for many new coal chemical enterprises in China during project construction. In addition, the company offers system solutions such as EPC and industrial gas management, as well as full-life-cycle system services. On December 14, 2013, SHENGU Group signed a supply contract for a 100,000-unit air separation unit with Shenhua Ningxia Coal Group, marking SHENGU Group as the third company in the world to master the technology for 100,000-unit air separation compressors, following German companies Mannesmann and Siemens. On August 23, 2015, the **Energy Bureau held an on-site acceptance meeting at the \"Research and Development (Testing) Center for Large-Scale Energy Turbine Compressors\" located at the Yingkou production and testing facility of Shengli Oilfield Pump Group. China’s first air separation unit with a capacity of 100,000 Nm3/h has been successfully tested; this unit will be used in Shenhua Ningxia’s 4 million tons per year coal-to-oil project!

Have heard of it, but never seen it; it’s definitely the largest in the world

A single unit is not the largest in terms of comprehensive capabilities; the largest ones are found in South Africa, followed by Indonesia, then Saudi Arabia. It is likely India now. On August 14th, the world’s largest air separation unit cryogenic tank, manufactured by Iceberg Group Linde Engineering (Dalian) Co., Ltd., was delivered and shipped from the dock of Dalian Dayang Shipbuilding Engineering Co., Ltd., marking that Iceberg Linde Company now has the capability to manufacture world-class, largest-scale air separation units. Air separation equipment is capable of separating oxygen from air, and it is an essential production device for industries such as steel, petrochemicals, and environmental protection. The air separation equipment provided by Bingshan Lind Company for its Indian clients weighs over 800 tons per unit, which is 50% more than that of similar products on the market, and it is capable of producing 150,000 cubic meters of oxygen per hour. The 5 sets of air separation equipment with a capacity of 150,000 cubic meters, manufactured by this company, are key components of a large petrochemical project undertaken by the German Linde Group for the Indian Reliance Group. The total value of the contract exceeds 500 million yuan; these systems are not only the largest and heaviest in the world but also boast the highest standards of precision and quality, with as many as 1,528 welds.
