The first set of Shell oil-to-coal plant will save millions of investment monthly Hubei Hubei Shuanghuan

Since May 17th Shell's first set of coal gasification production ammonia plant was successfully started in Hubei Shuanghuan Science and Technology Co., Ltd., the company saved RMB 1.09 million per day. After the loss of RMB 10 million in April, the profit and loss in May was flat. 6 The month turned profitable, completely reversed the operating difficulties that were caused by oil price increases, and fundamentally improved the company’s core competitiveness and ability to withstand market risks.

The coal gasification ammonia production plant introduced by the Shuanghuan company is based on Shell's advanced pulverized coal gasification technology. It was designed by China Wuhuan Chemical Engineering Company and was the first in the world. According to the person in charge of the Technical Department of Shuanghuan Company, the total investment of the device is 700 million yuan. Its core equipment is Shell pulverized coal gasifier, ammonia synthesis tower, steam boiler, filter and scrubber tower. The powder coal gasification furnace body is produced by Dalian Jinzhou Heavy Machinery Factory, with a daily investment of 1,000 tons and an average daily output of 1,800 tons of soda ash and ammonium chloride products. The device has high technological content and automation level and can adapt to almost all kinds of raw coal. It has obvious advantages in terms of raw material consumption, carbon conversion rate and thermal efficiency compared with other similar technologies. At the same time, the fly ash and residue of by-products from the coal gasification plant are of high quality and are high-quality raw materials for cement production. The system is equipped with a desulfurization system with high desulfurization efficiency and environmental protection discharges that meet the European standards, and can solve the problem of long-disturbed carbon black discharge. The commissioning of the device will play a demonstration effect in the same industry, and it has a positive reference for the selection of raw materials for the production process of synthetic ammonia in China.

Due to the soaring international oil prices in recent years, all domestic synthetic ammonia plants that use oil as raw materials have been suspended due to huge losses. In 1997, Shuanghuan Company decided to implement the oil-to-coal project and cooperated with Shell and Wuhuan Technology Co., Ltd. for nearly a decade to jointly establish the world's first. This is also the first project for the Shell coal gasification technology installation in China. It is understood that the huge economic benefits of the device are mainly due to the significant reduction in raw material costs and pollution control costs. Tonnage of ammonia for oil-based routes requires 0.84 tons of oil, and tons of ammonia for coal-based routes requires 1.45 tons of coal. Only this per ton of synthetic ammonia is available. Save costs about 2,000 yuan. In addition, the device is designed according to European environmental standards and the sewage reaches zero emissions, eliminating the need for pollution control.
