Domestic largest air separation unit completed and put into operation at Anqing Petrochemical

In recent days, the domestically-designed maximum air separation unit independently designed by China has been successfully driven by Anqing Petrochemical once and produces qualified high-purity oxygen and nitrogen. This indicates that the long-term history of China's large-scale air separation plant equipment market has completely come to an end. China's air separation equipment manufacturing industry is among the most advanced in the world.

Anqing Petrochemical takes the revitalization of the national industry as its own task, and for the first time it adopts an independently-designed hollow splitting device. The air separation unit was designed and manufactured jointly by Hangzhou Oxygen Group, Shenyang Blower Factory and Hangzhou Steam Turbine Co., Ltd. The Ningbo Engineering Company was responsible for construction and installation. In the process of engineering design, procurement, construction and installation, the leaders of the Sinopec headquarters attached great importance to the organization of the Air Separation Devices Localization Conference on several occasions to carry out major air compressors, steam turbines, air separation equipment and other general contracting issues. Full discussion, scientific decision-making. Anqing Petrochemical also several times with the design, manufacture, engineering general contracting unit jointly "Sword", and seriously implement the headquarters decision. This set of air separation unit core equipment air compressor is currently China's largest air separation air compressor. Compared with the traditional double-outlet driven steam turbine in the traditional sense, the load adjustment during operation is more comfortable and the energy saving effect is obvious, but at the same time the technology And the difficulty of construction has greatly increased. In order to fully absorb the technical risks arising therefrom, since the construction in March 2004, the engineering construction unit and the research and development unit have worked together to refer to the successful operation experience of the imported units in the country, overcoming difficulties and continuously optimizing the design. After more than two years of hard work, the largest air separation plant in China finally settled in Anqing Petrochemical.

The oxygen separation capacity of the air separation unit of the Anqing petrochemical feedstock “oil to coal” project is designed to be 48,200 cubic meters per hour. The high purity nitrogen and oxygen produced will provide sufficient annual production of 330,000 tons of synthetic ammonia and 580,000 tons of urea fertilizer plant. raw material.
