The 48200Nm3/h oxygen separation plant of the Hubei Chemical Fertilizer Plant's coal-to-oil conversion project is currently the country’s own innovative design, the first large-scale air separation unit that was completed and successfully started once, and is a project implemented by Sinopec for localization, with large capacity for oxygen generation. There are many mechanically associated equipments, complicated technology, many DCS control points and complicated relationships between points, etc. Before this, there was no precedent in China. Hubei Chemical Fertilizer Plant, with the support of Sinopec Group, cooperated with Hangzhou Oxygen Co., Ltd. and other manufacturers, and thus took the lead in completing this project in China. This technology alone saved the Hubei Chemical Fertilizer Plant over 100 million yuan in foreign introduction. Technical funds.
Hubei Chemical Fertilizer Plant does not have ready-made technical data to use, and there is no ready-made experience to learn from it. It does a good job in production preparation and commissioning work in terms of organization, training, technology, and materials. During the drive, Sinopec Group specially appointed a group of experts to guide the work on site. After six days of continuous work, it finally produced oxygen-nitrogen products, which laid the foundation for the smooth start-up of Hubei Huafei Coal-to-oil Project.
The first large-scale air separation device made in China was successfully launched
The first domestically produced 48200Nm3/h air separation unit was successfully launched at the Hubei Fertilizer Plant. Not only marked that the domestic large air separation plant has entered a new technological field, but also ended the history of large air separation plant has been imported from abroad.
