In February 2024, Yongye Gas, a leading technology enterprise in the field of industrial gas supply in China, started cooperation with the domestic cast iron drainage pipe giant to jointly promote the construction of an oxygen station at its Chizhou production base in Anhui, China. The move marks a new stage in the deep cooperation between the two sides in the field of industrial gas supply and green production.
1、 Background of Cooperation: Oxygen Demand Upgrade of Casting Giants
The client of this cooperation, as a leading enterprise in China's cast iron drainage pipe industry, has formed a diversified business system covering casting, mechanical processing, import and export trade, etc. since its establishment in 1997. Its annual production of 120000 tons of centrifugal cast iron pipe base adopts the internationally advanced blast furnace electric furnace dual melting process, which requires a huge amount of oxygen during the production process. With the expansion of production capacity and the improvement of environmental protection requirements, the original oxygen supply mode urgently needs to be optimized.
With its technological accumulation in the field of industrial gas system integration, Yongye Gas will tailor an intelligent oxygen production solution for its cooperative customers, helping them achieve the dual goals of cost control and low-carbon operation.
2、 Project Highlights: Empowering Green Production with Technology
1. Efficient production capacity and intelligent control
The oxygen production station is designed using vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) technology, with a production capacity of 3000Nm ³/h, fully covering the oxygen demand of customers in core processes such as blast furnace smelting and pipe casting. The system is equipped with an IoT monitoring module to achieve real-time control of key parameters such as oxygen purity (≥ 93%) and pressure.
2. Significant energy conservation and consumption reduction
Compared with traditional external purchase of liquid oxygen, self built oxygen production stations are expected to reduce the oxygen procurement cost of cooperative customers by more than 50%, and reduce energy waste through waste heat recovery systems, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 1500 tons per year.
3. Improvement of emergency support capability
Equipped with dual unit redundant design and emergency oxygen storage tanks, ensuring stable oxygen supply even under extreme working conditions and ensuring continuous operation of the production line.
3、 Corporate voice: jointly drawing a blueprint for green development
The leader of the cooperative customer stated, "This cooperation is an important measure for the group to practice the concept of 'honesty and hard work in casting'. By building our own oxygen production station, we not only strengthen the autonomy of the supply chain, but also take a key step in carbon footprint management. The leader of Yongye Gas emphasized, 'The project integrates our years of experience in the field of industrial oxygen production equipment, and we also hope that this equipment can help us expand the high-end material market.'
4、 Industry impact: Demonstration effect highlighted
As a supporting oxygen production station project for the foundry industry in Anhui Province, this cooperation model provides a model for the green transformation of traditional manufacturing industry. Industry insiders point out that as the formulation of the "China Foundry Industry Carbon Emission Standards" approaches, such technological upgrades will become a new focus of competition for enterprises.
