Chemical Business
The Anqing Company’s chemical fertilizer plant, put into operation in December, 1978 and acquiring the authentication of the Chinese Resister of Shipping GB/T19002-ISO9002 Quality System in 1999, is a large modern production plant made up of 2 units imported from French Heurty Industries Inc.. One is the 300,000 t/y ammonia unit with the Danish Topsoe process and the other the 520,000 t/y urea unit with the Dutch Stamicarbon process. Having gone through different periods in more than 20 years since operation from digestion & assimilation to tapping potentials & technical revamping and expansion & optimization, the plant has succeeded successively in a series of such major efforts as eliminating bottlenecks, feedstock revamping, ammonia 10% capacity-increasing & energy-saving project and developing the technology of using hydrogenated coking-gasoline as a NH3 feedstock, thereby perfecting production units and optimizing resources allocation, realizing the usage of naphtha, hydrogenated coking-gasoline and dry gas as feedstocks and exercising the whole process control of key production procedures by means of DCS. By now, 110% of the designed capacity has been reached and some tech-economic targets have stood in the forefront of the chemical fertilizer industry. Abiding by strictly the GB/2440-2001 standard, the plant’s dominant product “Double-Rings” brand agricultural urea, with 4 main quality indexes of N2 content, water, biuret and granule being 100% qualified and ?95% excellent, has been crowned with such honorable titles as the “Provincial quality product”, the “ministerial quality product”, the “Anhui Provincial inspection-exempted product”, the “highly-reputed enterprise in the nation’s public”, the “most influential famous brand over 20 years of reform &opening” and “one of the trade’s 10 great brands in the year of 1999-2000”.

Main equipments of the plant were imported from the U.S.A, Japan, Germany and Italy with the American Honeywell Company-made TDC-3000 DCS as the control system of operation. The production capacity of the acrylic fibre unit has been raised to 70,000 t/y and that of the acrylonitrile unit to 80,000 t/y in 1999 and 2001 respectively upon expansion of the existing facilities. In 1999,the acrylic fibre plant obtained the authentication of the Chinese Register of shipping GB/T19002----ISO9002 quality system.
