On April 18, Gu Zongqin, Chairman of the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association, pointed out at the 2019 China Methanol Industry Conference held in Shanghai that in 2019, facing the complex and changing international environment and the realistic pressure of the domestic economic downturn, the industry must firmly grasp The general tone of the work of "striving for progress in stability" must adhere to the main line of structural reforms on the supply side, accelerate the pace of energy conservation, environmental protection, safe production, circular economy, and comprehensive utilization of resources, and promote high-quality and efficient development of the industry.
Gu Zongqin emphasized that this year the national methanol industry must do five things:
The first is to guide the rational growth of production capacity. Gu Zongqin said that in recent years, with the continuous development of emerging downstream products and the recovery of market prices, China ’s methanol production capacity has continued to increase, and with the improvement of industry technology and equipment levels, the trend of large-scale new installations is significant. At every turn are large projects of 1 million tons / grade and 1.8 million tons / grade. Large coal chemical projects have high construction investment, high energy consumption, and have a great impact on the market and industry. In project planning and construction, we must be cautious, restrain impulse, fully consider factors such as resources, environment, and markets, and avoid blindly following the trend. Adhere to the requirements of "do as much as you can, do as much as you can with water, and measure with environmental carrying capacity" and strictly prohibit the construction and expansion of methanol installations in areas with sensitive ecological environments, lack of water resources, and tight raw material resources.
Second, promote the standardized development of downstream products with energy attributes. Gu Zongqin pointed out that the continuous development of downstream products has provided continuous demand momentum for the development of the industry. Methanol fuel has undoubtedly become another downstream application with great development potential after coal (methanol) to olefins. However, there are still a lot of irregularities in methanol fuel for vehicles and boilers, especially fuel for stoves. The related standard system is not perfect, and the supervision methods are not perfect. It is a gray area with serious safety risks. Gu Zongqin emphasized that speeding up the improvement of industrial policies, technical standards, and market application guarantee systems is the focus and key of the next step. The promulgation of the "Guidelines on Car Application of Methanol in Certain Areas" provides favorable policy support for the downstream product development and application of methanol as an energy attribute, and also puts forward work requirements that help promote the healthy development of methanol fuels. For example, it is required to establish a comprehensive quality control and safety management system for the production, storage, and transportation of methanol fuel; support the organization of the formulation of technical standards such as methanol benchmark fuels based on the current national, industry, and group standards; improve the methanol fuel and fuel Inject system standards, and study and formulate standards for the design and construction of vehicle methanol fuel filling stations, safety specifications for vehicle methanol fuel operations, special filling machines for methanol fuel, and methanol fuel additives. These also provide a reference for the standardized development of methanol fuel for boilers and stoves, and help actively promote the formulation and implementation of relevant group standards, local standards, and industry standards.
Thirty-three is to guide enterprises to rationalize the product structure. Gu Zongqin pointed out that methanol production enterprises should broaden their horizons and broaden their horizons, fully explore their own advantages, and examine the market situation in depth. Whether it is in the development of high value-added downstream products or starting from synthesis gas, companies have a lot to do. In order to expand the industrial chain, improve product added value and market competitiveness. We must actively transform to modern coal chemical industry and fine coal chemical industry, devote ourselves to the development of differentiated, personalized, high-end fine chemical products, high-end chemicals and new chemical materials such as high value-added coal chemical downstream products, extend the industrial chain and expand Industry. For example, metallocene polyolefins and α-high-carbon co-polyolefins still mainly rely on imported high-end resin materials, high-performance engineering plastics and high-performance surfactants, and carbon-chemical products and their derivatives based on synthesis gas. .
The fourth is to pay close attention to safety and environmental protection work and not relax. Gu Zongqin said that the recent safety accidents have caused heavy casualties, causing severe economic losses, social impacts and environmental impacts. At the same time, they have once again sounded the alarm for us: there is no trivial matter in production safety, and prevention is the key. Any security accident is caused by the unsafe behavior of people, the unsafe state of things, and the irregular management, and any unsafe accident can be prevented. This requires enterprises to firmly establish a safety concept and a safety-first mindset, focus on preventing and curbing serious and serious accidents, strictly adhere to the safety bottom line, strengthen process control, safety risk management and control, and emergency management and disposal capabilities to ensure foolproof production.
According to Gu Zongqin, at the beginning of this year, the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association and the Petrochemical Federation jointly launched a “Special Action Investigation Activity on the Safety and Environmental Enhancement of the Nitrogen Fertilizer and Methanol Industries”, which respectively conducted safety and environmental protection investigations on Shandong Hualu Hengsheng and Jiangsu Linggu Chemical. Li Shousheng, president of the Petrochemical Federation, attached great importance to this event and personally participated in and guided it. This event also made me feel quite deeply. On the one hand, I felt that there is no end to safety in production. Hualu Hengsheng and Linggu Chemical still have room for further improvement as first-class companies in the industry; on the other hand, this kind of The type of safety investigation is of further significance. Different from the supervision and inspection by the safety and environmental protection department, more self-inspection and mutual investigation activities can be carried out. Based on the strict, detailed and high requirements of the industry, identify problems, improve the awareness of safety management, and implement safety management responsibilities. To improve safety management and intrinsic safety requirements.
Fifth, rely on technological innovation and green development to promote the sustainable development of the industry. Gu Zongqin emphasized that technological progress is a powerful driving force for the green development of the industry, and green development is an inevitable choice for the sustainable development of the industry. The first is to create a good atmosphere for innovation. Actively promote the construction of innovation platforms and incentive mechanisms, increase investment in innovation funds, focus on the cultivation of innovative talents and teams, and provide support for the innovation development of the industry. The second is to use technology innovation and management innovation to enhance the level of industry development on the basis of existing development. Strengthen the development of major key technologies and equipment, and improve self-sufficiency. The third is to lay out a roadmap for the future development of the industry and enterprises in accordance with the strategic vision of innovation and development, and in accordance with the development trend of the industry. While strengthening their own R & D capabilities, they will fully utilize the strength of universities and research institutes, focus on the combination of "internal and external forces", and promote the combination of "production, learning, research, and use." Fourth, fully understand the importance, urgency, and arduousness of forming green development, accelerate the establishment of an industrial system of green cycle and low carbon development, and promote the development, promotion and application of green environmental protection technologies. Fifth, continue to carry out related activities that are conducive to technological progress, energy conservation and emission reduction, such as the "nitrogen fertilizer and methanol industry technology progress award" carried out by the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association for three consecutive years, and advanced applicable technologies for energy conservation and emission reduction during the 13th Five-Year Plan , The selection of "advanced units and individuals for energy saving and emission reduction in the nitrogen fertilizer and methanol industries", as well as the recommendation by the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Petrochemical Federation jointly launched the "leader" award for energy efficiency of key energy-consuming products. Through these activities, accelerate the popularization and application of advanced technologies, set energy-saving models and benchmarks, and promote industry technological progress and green development.
