Chapter 277 Officially promote the industrial production of urea?
The people from the National Academy of Sciences had the same reaction: It’s a mule or a horse that comes out to run around and provide me with equipment!
For them, there will be no evaluation or emotion until they determine that something is a fact.
As for the National Academy of Sciences, I have seen a lot of weird things. When I get something, I doubt it first, and then others.
In this way, the 12th Ministry of Machinery and the National Academy of Sciences began to test the single crystal silicon rods. The former was to find out how to use it, and the latter was to find out whether it was real.
The Seventeenth Machinery Department is simple. They are contacting the first two companies. This time they plan to wait for the confirmation of the first two companies and arrange relevant matters before jointly announcing the matter.
But this takes a while. Gao Zhendong and the others finished pulling the single crystal on Saturday, and they also worked overtime until Monday to complete the test, not to mention the inspection projects of the 12th Ministry of Machinery and the National Academy of Sciences and their It may not necessarily be the same. It can be said that these two companies will definitely test the items Gao Zhendong and others are testing, but their points of interest are not necessarily within the scope of the third rolling mill.
So the projects that these two companies have to test are generally more than Gao Zhendong’s, and they cannot be completed in one day.
——
At this time, a report from a certain chemical research institute has been sent to the desk of the leader of the Chemical Department.
The title of the report is clear at a glance - "Report on Proposals to Promote the Construction of Industrialized Urea Plants".
The person who submitted the report was none other than Mr. Xiang of a chemical research institute and the director of their institute.
The leader of the Yinghua Department read the report and raised his head to consult the two.
"Hu Suo and Xiang Gong, I remember that according to the original plan, the trial period of this urea industrial production pilot project has not yet expired. Now we are rushing to promote it. Will there be any problems? What are your considerations? , Promote urea plants in advance? "
The concerns of the leaders of the Ministry of Chemical Industry are not unreasonable. Once promoted, they will be rolled out on a large scale, and all urea plants will be constructed according to the existing test results.
If there is any problem with the results, the loss will be huge. Each province must be eager to build one, two, or two piles of urea plants. If you want to change them at that time, it will be difficult, huge losses, and widespread. The responsibility is extremely heavy.
Hu Suo did not push Mr. Xiang forward, but took the matter on his own: "Leader, you have also seen the agricultural situation in the past two years. There is really no need to delay. Although one is Water, one is fertilizer, but at least we can solve one end first."
The leader nodded: "Comrades from Nongkou have indeed proposed to us many times in this regard, and hope that the urea plant can be launched as soon as possible. However, we must be scientific about this matter and cannot impose it simply because of circumstances. Therefore, you must be responsible for making this suggestion from a professional perspective. Of course, the entire responsibility does not lie with you. It's our business, but you must provide us with enough professional and objective opinions."
Mr. Xiang reported to the leader sincerely: "Boss, we have considered this matter and are willing to test it. After careful inspection and in-depth analysis of the situation of the production line, we believe that the conditions are basically mature, so we made this suggestion report."
The leader of the Yinghua Department looked at him: "You are. Those in charge of technology, please analyze it carefully for me. For a moment, I can’t see all of your report. Please explain the most important things to me first.”
He clarified his thoughts to the Prime Minister and tried to make his words more organized: "Leader, this is it. First of all, judging from the operation of the urea industrial pilot production line, this process is mature and basically achieves the goal of easy availability of raw materials and low cost. , fast speed, stable production capacity and quality. Regarding this, our institute is sure of this after conducting a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the production situation of the test line. ”
The leader of the Yinghua Department. Nodding: "Well, in this regard, I believe you are confident, that is to say, the problem of urea production itself has been solved."
Mr. Xiang said: "Yes, leader, If this problem is not solved, we will not dare to make this suggestion. On the other hand, it is a matter of the production line itself. "
The leader of the Yinghua Department said: "The durability and maintainability of the production line. , cost and other aspects of verification, the most important thing is durability. The cost is known from the beginning. Poor maintenance does not mean it cannot be used, but durability is the key to whether the production line can be truly promoted. If three. It’s no joke to need to replace parts every day.”
Replacing the main equipment of the chemical plant is not just a matter of transporting a few steel plates and welding them, such as the tower in the chemical plant. The kettle must be produced in a professional factory and then transported as a whole to the destination for installation.
In the future, I often see people pulling thick and long pots and jars of all kinds on the highway at very fast speeds. There is a lane opening vehicle in front and an escort vehicle behind. There are also big words written on the main vehicle: "XX Big" A considerable part of the large transport trucks transporting chemical equipment are called "modern escorts" for this reason. They are also one of the few large trucks that dare to blatantly dismantle toll booths.
Not to mention these days, there are simply not such good roads.
Therefore, the replacement of main chemical equipment is a very troublesome matter. If the main components cannot reach the design life, it is better not to build it, and we cannot afford the loss. Mr. Xiang continued what the leader said: "Leader, we have verified this matter to a certain extent and have considered it accordingly."
The leader was a little confused: "How to verify this? This is what needs the most time to verify, but so far, time is obviously not enough. How long will it take for the trial run? ”
Mr. Xiang said: “We adopted an indigenous method, placing the main material of the production line, that is, the urea steel provided by the 17th Machinery Department, in a test environment that is harsher than the actual production environment to accelerate its corrosion and aging. Simulate the corrosion and damage process of the main materials of the production line during the design life period."
The leader thought for a while and felt that their approach made sense, and asked: "What about your test results?"
If the simulation results are not good, then forget about everything. If the simulation results are good, then there is the possibility and basis for further demonstration.
Although the simulation results should be very optimistic based on the institute's initiative to promote it in advance, leaders still need to hear the exact answer.
General Manager Xiang opened the proposal report, turned to one of the pages, and introduced to the leader: "The results are here, the situation is very good. The material studied by the Third Steel Rolling Plant in Beijing is under our special conditions. The corrosion resistance is very good, and the production quality of Jingcheng Steel Plant is also very good. The material consistency is very good, and there is no sudden deterioration or accelerated corrosion.”
When the leader heard this, he was slightly reassured: "In other words, the changes of this material in the production environment can be predicted and calculated relatively accurately. And its corrosion resistance performance fully meets your requirements?"
Hu Suo nodded and said: "Yes, leader, since this kind of special steel is produced domestically, the price is relatively not high. In terms of cost-related dosage, it leaves us with a lot. There is a lot of leeway. When we designed the production line, we provided enough redundancy. Now it seems that this redundancy is sufficient.” Even in the future, when all walks of life have relatively complete standards and specifications, when designing projects, the scientific research institutes of design institutes often have to add a " "Insurance factor", in short, is determined not to take the blame.
Among them, construction projects are the most common. In an era when cutting corners in construction projects was the most rampant, not many big things happened, and redundant design played a part in this.
As for later, it became less common to cut corners and materials, and the project contractors were much smarter than such low-level methods.
"In other words, do you think the existing design is ready for promotion and construction?"
"Yes, in addition to the most important issues just mentioned, combined with other relevant circumstances, We believe that the conditions for promotion and construction are basically mature. If we start promotion now, some areas can even catch up with this year's late rice. "
In the domestic grain-producing areas, Jiangnan generally has two to three crops a year. The north has begun to transition to two crops a year, three crops every two years, and one crop a year. But generally speaking, the number of areas with two to three ripening areas is relatively large.
The leader of the Ministry of Chemical Industry asked another question: "With the promotion now, will it be possible for the steel mill to produce it in time?"
Hu Suohui reported: "It is possible, at least the gap is not big. Beijing After the first batch of urea steel was produced and provided to us by the steel plant and the Third Steel Rolling Plant in Beijing, they have already transferred production technology to major steel companies, and the 17th Machinery Department arranged for major steel companies to conduct experiments during our time. , is still producing urea steel in large quantities, and has now accumulated a large batch.”
Mr. Xiang recalled something Gao Zhendong had said to him, and added: "According to the introduction of the comrades from the Third Steel Rolling Plant in Beijing, these steels just used this period of time to release part of the stress, and the quality was better. Okay.”
In fact, the stock of urea steel is not as large as they thought, because a considerable part has been exported, but there is no shortage if needed.
After listening to the words of the two people, the leaders of the Ministry of Chemical Industry thought for a long time: "In your opinion, from a technical point of view, the industrial production of urea is indeed fully qualified for promotion?"
Hu Suo and Mr. Xiang looked at each other and replied in unison: "Yes, we are sure."
The leader of the Yinghua Department made up his mind: "In this case, the department will arrange the next process. You Waiting in the capital for a few days.”
