2022-12-13
The Lanxiang Environmental–Shenghong Refining & Chemical Mist‑Eliminating, Water‑Saving Cooling Tower Project is a key initiative for the company in 2022. The project comprises 70 mist‑eliminating, water‑saving cooling towers, each with a capacity of 5,000 m³, which are deployed across three process units—air separation, IGCC, and chemical production—and are distributed among three chemical production areas.
Shenghong Refining & Chemical (Lianyungang) Co., Ltd. is located in the Petrochemical Industrial Park of Xuhu New Area, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province. The company is developing an integrated refining and chemical complex with a capacity of 16 million tons per year of crude oil processing, 2.8 million tons per year of aromatics production, and 1.1 million tons per year of ethylene production. The project encompasses core facilities as well as supporting infrastructure, including port terminals, storage and transportation systems, utility and auxiliary facilities, and environmental protection measures. It is the largest single‑unit integrated refining and chemical project in China, one of the three major privately‑funded refining and chemical projects receiving key support from the State Council, and a priority initiative under the National Petrochemical Industry Planning and Layout Scheme.
The Lanxiang Environmental–Shenghong Refining & Chemical Mist‑Elimination and Water‑Saving Cooling Tower Project was a key initiative for the company in 2022. The project comprises 70 mist‑elimination, water‑saving cooling towers, each with a capacity of 5,000 m³, deployed across three major process units—air separation, IGCC, and chemical production—and distributed among three chemical production zones. These towers meet the cooling and heat‑exchange requirements of the refining and chemical processes while, through their mist‑elimination and water‑saving technology, significantly reducing freshwater consumption. This has provided robust support to Shenghong Refining & Chemical in controlling production costs and advancing green, energy‑efficient development. Construction commenced on September 9, 2021. Throughout the build phase, on‑site workers worked overtime to overcome numerous challenges, while the technical team conducted multiple field inspections to identify and address issues arising during installation. By collaborating closely with production, engineering, and other departments, they refined design and operational plans, resolving practical problems and achieving notable results in cost reduction, efficiency gains, and enhanced construction safety. After 14 months of intensive work, and through the concerted efforts of the technical, production, engineering, and operations teams, the project was officially completed, handed over, and successfully put into trial operation in November 2022. It has now become the largest cluster of mist‑elimination, water‑saving cooling towers in China.
The Shenghong Refining and Chemical Project serves as a key application case for Lanxiang’s flagship product—the mist‑eliminating, water‑saving cooling tower—providing invaluable experience for the future construction and operation of large‑scale mist‑elimination tower clusters. It also marks a significant milestone in Lanxiang Environment’s efforts to align with the national drive for green development and advance the establishment of resource‑efficient, energy‑saving production models. Moving forward, Lanxiang Environment will remain committed to its corporate mission of serving the environment and sharing nature, broadening its R&D horizons, upgrading its technological platform, and delivering even more outstanding achievements in the environmental protection and energy‑conservation sectors.
