Create "China core" -- a record of technological innovation of the largest single set of coal to oil projects in the world
December 28, in the middle of winter, the cold wind is biting, but Ningdong energy and chemical industry base in Ningxia is in full swing. In the coal to oil plant area of Shenhua Ningxia coal industry group, the 4 million tons / year coal indirect liquefaction demonstration project has successfully produced oil, which marks the formal production of the project.
The localization rate of the technical module of the largest single set of coal to liquid filtration device in the world is as high as 98.5%, marking that China has developed "China core" in the field of coal to liquid chemical industry, breaking the situation that such technology has been monopolized by a few countries for a long time, exploring the development mode of coal deep processing industry in line with China's national conditions, and providing technical strategic reserves for the consolidation of national energy security.
The 4 million ton coal to oil project is a world-class project with strategic significance. Previously, most of the core technologies and high-end equipment in the coal to liquid chemical industry were imported with high cost.
The manufacturing of core technology and major equipment must be localized. At the beginning of Shenhua Ningxia coal industry group entering the field of coal chemical industry, there was no technical personnel reserve. Starting from the methanol headquarters with only 4 people, it developed, introduced and cultivated at the same time, and finally formed a scientific research team of nearly 7000 people.
In 2013, the 4 million ton coal to oil filtration unit project was approved by the national development and Reform Commission, and the project was required to undertake the task of independent localization of major technologies, equipment and materials, with a localization rate of more than 85%.
In the coal to oil plant area, Cai Lihong, general director of the construction headquarters of the coal to oil project, introduced the synthetic oil of the coal to oil process, saying that it has the advantages of ultra-low sulfur, low aromatics, high cetane number and low ash, and is superior to the Euro V standard. It is conducive to reducing the emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and particulate matters, and to solving the problems of urban automobile exhaust pollution and haze control.
Coal to oil has realized the clean and efficient utilization and transformation of coal, minimized the consumption of coal, water and other resources, and reduced the discharge of "three wastes", meanwhile, it has also brought opportunities for the transformation and upgrading of coal enterprises. According to reports, the coal to oil project converts 20.46 million tons of coal every year, accounting for 20% of the total annual coal output of Ningxia. Moreover, the value of 1 ton of coal converted into oil is 7 times that of raw coal, which has a great effect on coal enterprises to get rid of difficulties.
China is rich in coal, poor in oil and little in gas, and its oil dependence on foreign countries has exceeded 60%. According to the prediction of the national energy administration, China's oil demand in 2020 will be 610 million tons, and the oil dependence on foreign countries will rise to 68%.
Based on this reality, we can appreciate the most exciting joy. Shao Junjie told reporters: "the technical innovation of the coal to oil filtration unit project not only solves the technical problems of the development of large-scale coal chemical projects in China, but also undertakes the mission of national energy security technology strategic reserve. The innovation process is hard to say, but it's done. "
Cai Lihong, general director of coal to oil project construction headquarters of Shenhua Ningmei group, said, "if this oil can be popularized and applied in first tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, it will be a good way to solve the problem of automobile exhaust pollution and haze in cities. According to the trial use of such diesel fuel in Beijing's sanitation vehicles, the emission of various pollutants has been significantly reduced. "
On December 28th, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, chairman of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made important instructions on the completion and commissioning of the Shenhua Ningmei coal oil demonstration project. On behalf of the Central Committee of the CPC, he extended warm congratulations on the completion and commissioning of the project, and extended sincere greetings to the vast numbers of scientific and technological personnel and cadres and workers who participated in the construction, production and operation, and technology research and development.
Xi Jinping pointed out that this major project is completed and put into operation, which is of great significance for China to enhance its energy independent guarantee capability, promote clean and efficient utilization of coal, and promote the development of ethnic regions. It is a useful exploration for energy security, high efficiency, clean and low carbon development mode, and an important achievement in the implementation of innovation drive development strategy. This fully shows that to change the mode of economic development, adjust the economic structure, promote supply side structural reform, and build a modern industrial system, we must vigorously promote scientific and technological innovation, and accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into real productivity.
Xi Jinping hopes that comrades will continue to work hard and strive for excellence, ensure the safety, stability and clean operation of the project, expand the technological and industrial advantages of China in the field of coal processing and transformation, accelerate the revolution of energy production and consumption, and make new and greater contributions to the realization of the goal of "two one hundred years" and the realization of the great dream of the Chinese nation.
The Shenhua Ningmei coal oil demonstration project was put into operation and celebrated on the 28 day at the Ningdong energy and chemical base coal preparation project area in Ningxia. Xi Jinping's important instructions were read out at the ceremony.
After the project is completed and put into operation, the annual output of oil products will be 4.05 million tons. It is currently the coal indirect liquefaction demonstration project with the largest single investment scale, the largest unit and independent intellectual property rights in China.
