The reporter learned from Shengu Group that China ’s first “1.2 million tons / year ethylene plant centrifugal compressor unit” developed by Shengu Group has recently passed product identification organized by China Machinery Industry Federation, China General Machinery Industry Association and other units.
“The unit has been successfully commissioned in the second phase of China Sea Shell Petrochemical Co., Ltd. on November 27, 2017, achieving continuous and stable operation,” said Dai Jishuang, chairman of Shengu Group. “This is the domestic production of large ethylene equipment in China. A major technological breakthrough. "
Centrifugal compressors are the "heart" of ethylene equipment. Once problems occur, it will cause irreparable huge losses to ethylene production. Only a few developed countries in the world, such as the United States, Germany, and Japan, have a million-ton ethylene compressor manufacturing capacity.
In recent years, the Shengu Group has insisted on independent innovation and successively broke the international monopoly, achieving a "triple jump" in the development of 800,000, 1,000,000 and 1.2 million tons of ethylene plants. The 1.2 million-ton ethylene plant used in the second-stage project of China Shipping Shell is one of the largest ethylene plants in the world. Its core equipment cracking gas, ethylene, and propylene compressor units are all developed and installed by the Shengu Group.
According to reports, since China's first ethylene compressor was independently developed, Shengu Group has produced 68 sets of compressors for various ethylene plants. Industry experts believe that the successful development, stable operation, and identification of the “1.2 million tons / year centrifugal compressor unit for ethylene plants” by Shengu Group indicates that China has conquered the core technology of key equipment for large-scale ethylene plants at the million-ton level.
