Jiayu Fenghua Chemical Company is just one representative of hundreds of small ammonia companies in China. Experts said that in the coming period, these small synthetic ammonia companies will face reshuffling, mainly because the country’s safety threshold will increase, and the “dangerous process automation control†enforced in the industry will become a gateway.
It is understood that in June last year, the State Administration of Work Safety issued the "Circular on Announcement of the First Catalogue of Hazardous Chemical Processes to Be Monitored." "Notice" clearly categorizes the synthetic ammonia process as one of the fifteen dangerous processes that are under scrutiny, and proposes basic control parameters for the operation of synthesis towers, compressors, and ammonia storage systems, including temperature, pressure, level, material flow, and proportions. Automatic control requirements. Some local government agencies have also issued explicit opinions on this issue. For example, the Hubei Provincial Government issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Work of Safe Production of Hazardous Chemicals" in January this year, clearly stating that the degree of automation of production facilities using construction projects with dangerous technologies should reach the State Administration of Work Safety's "announcement of the first batch The notice of the “Supervision of hazardous chemical process catalogues†regulated by the “Regulations†requires that, otherwise, safety production licenses will not be handled; existing production units that use dangerous processes shall complete the automation of production units before the end of this year, otherwise their safety production licenses will not be postponed.
Gong Guangfen, technical director of Hubei Luan Security Consulting Company, told the reporter that the current ammonia companies are divided into three categories in the process automation of dangerous processes: there are no conditions for acceptance, such as Hubei Shuanghuan Technology Co., Ltd.; , such as Hubei Saning Chemical Company; simply do not have the conditions for transformation, such enterprises are mainly small ammonia plant. According to reports, the main contents of the automatic transformation of the small ammonia plant involved 102 gasification, desulphurization, carbonization, ammonia synthesis, ammonia storage, and other automatic control and transformation projects, of which 26 were vetoed. The total investment in instrumentation is about 4 million yuan. If some small ammonia plants still use L3.3 compressors, the cost of retrofitting will be even greater. Because L3.3 compressor does not have remote monitoring function, its parameters can not make the control room to implement centralized monitoring and monitoring, all must be replaced with 6M32 compressors, and the total investment of equipment is over ten million yuan. It is basically impossible for a small ammonia plant that is in a sluggish market and extremely tight liquidity to reform as required. It is understood that there are 40 small synthetic ammonia companies in Hubei Province, and about 10 companies do not have the conditions for transformation. It is an inevitable choice to suspend production and diversion.
The person in charge of the Hubei Work Safety Supervision Bureau reminded that in the issue of safety production, the company must strictly follow the requirements of the state. The automatic control of dangerous processes must be completed before the end of this year. If it is not completed within the prescribed time limit, production and modification shall be suspended. This means that a group of small synthetic ammonia companies will withdraw from the market because of dangerous process automation control, and the ammonia industry may usher in a new round of adjustment.
