Shanxi's Chemical Firms Cope with High Price

Drying equipment

At the end of last year, the National Development and Reform Commission announced that it would increase sales and on-grid tariffs. Among them, the national average price of electricity sold was increased by 0.03 yuan per kilowatt-hour, the on-grid tariff was 0.026 yuan per kilowatt-hour for coal-fired power companies, and the average of all power generation enterprises was 0.025 yuan. This policy has been implemented for more than four months. What impact has it had on chemical companies in the coal-and-power province of Shanxi? How does the company respond? On the eve of May Day, the reporter conducted an interview.

"For those calcium carbide companies that have self-built power plants or have a preferential power supply relationship with power plants, the impact of rising electricity prices will be less. However, there are no cost advantages for a calcium carbide company that buys electricity at market prices like ours." Star Chemicals Co., Ltd., an official who declined to be named, told reporters in this way. According to him, the power consumption of calcium carbide plays a decisive role in the production cost. Most of the calcium carbide power companies require 3,400-3,650 kilowatt-hours per ton, and individual companies even exceed 4,000 kilowatt-hours. Therefore, this increase in electricity prices puts pressure on the calcium carbide companies. Only this one, Shixing Chemical will increase its electricity cost by 6.8 million yuan a year.

“In order to digest the cost increase factor, we have modified the calcium carbide process. All calcium carbide products are used to produce lime nitrogen. Compared to open internal combustion furnaces, today's calcium carbide furnaces can not only greatly reduce exhaust emissions, but also use tail gas as fuel. With comprehensive utilization, the production cost per ton of calcium carbide can thus be reduced by more than 200 yuan.Now we produce lime nitrogen, which is an alkaline fertilizer, has the advantages of long-term fertilizer effect and can adjust the soil structure, and is mainly sold to Hunan, Guangzhou, Sichuan and other places. Most of them are used in agricultural production and are recognized by more and more users. The next step is to develop lime nitrogen derivative products," said the person in charge of Shixing Chemical.

“Although our company is a subordinate unit of a power generation company, it is not a matter of peace of mind. It only provides certain subsidies in accordance with the requirements of the electric power industry,” said general manager of Yungui Hongjinlong Chemical Plant, Yunkui. According to him, after the increase in electricity prices, the operation status of the plant affiliated to China Power International God Power Company is not optimistic. The cost of the company will increase by more than 4 million yuan each year.

"The next step, we must also increase technological innovation and research and development, use advanced technology and equipment to reduce energy consumption, reduce production costs, and at the same time start research and development of new products, change low-end products into high-end resources, the calcium carbide industry chain to do this Extremely,” said Yunkui.

“The increase in electricity price will affect the electricity price per ton of synthetic ammonia from 0.363 yuan per kilowatt-hour to 0.43 yuan per kilowatt-hour, which will directly affect the integrated ammonia ton cost of 76 yuan and increase the annual cost by 57 million yuan.” Shanxi Jinfeng Coal Chief Engineer of Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. Yue Xucheng told reporters reluctantly, “This is a major national policy. To digest these unfavorable factors, we can only exercise our strengths and dig potentials. This year we have stepped up efforts to save energy-saving equipment and successively invested 1459 yuan. 10,000 yuan, completed 41 energy-saving projects such as 100,000 tons of briquette equipment, A-system conversion furnace, pre-varied humidification furnace equipment, transformation of semi-water gas desulfurization system, and pressure swing adsorption recovery equipment for decarbonization and high-flash gas recovery Good results have been achieved. Each year, the company can create more than 30 million yuan worth of energy, save 4714.99 tons of standard coal, and replace 151,500 tons of high-quality anthracite coal annually."

According to the introduction of Yue Xucheng, Jinfeng Coal Chemical Company has also made great efforts in management, fully implement the real-name system of saving electricity, the company will compress, urea, purification, water vapor, synthesis, gas and other key power-consuming units to establish real-name system for power consumption, will each Units use electricity for detailed registration every day, and queues are scored at the weekly scheduling meeting. The whole plant is publicized, the awards are fined, and the grass-roots unit's energy-saving awareness is enhanced. In the first quarter of this year, the company produced 200,000 tons of synthetic ammonia and 300,000 tons of urea, all of which reduced energy consumption.

In Datong City, north of Shanxi Province, many activated carbon companies are affected by the increase in the price of electricity, and most of them are in semi-discontinued production. Guanghua Activated Carbon Co., Ltd., however, has “a good view of the landscape”.

“Traditional activated carbon products have poor ability to combat market risks, and the energy consumption in the production process is also very high. We have used the large-scale special activated carbon production technology for desulfurization and denitrification of our own to resolve the unfavorable factors that are difficult to reduce due to the high conduction cost and realized long The production cycle is stable.” Tang Xingjun, general manager of Guanghua, proudly told reporters that “large particle desulphurization carbon is a variety of industrial exhaust gas desulfurization and denitrification special products that we have developed. At present, only a few companies in the world can produce. In particular, the activation furnace The high-temperature exhaust gas is sent to the carbonization furnace for reuse, annually saving 3,600 tons of fuel coal at a discount of more than 180 million. At present, our annual production capacity of dedicated activated carbon products for desulfurization and denitrification has reached more than 6,000 tons, which has become the company's new benefit growth point."
