Chapter 255 Domestic Catalyst

The last time Su Cheng saw this chief engineer, he felt that he was really old. Someone around him was trembling at any time, and his eyes were as turbid as fish. At that time, Su Cheng thought, is there really no one in Shanghai Petrochemical? Do you regard the position of chief engineer as an honorary position?

Now look at it again, hey, the old man's strong hand can tear a piece of meat down. The back is straight, higher than Sucheng. Although he is thin, his chest is still very wide. The doomsday is coming, and this is the best skeleton to convert skeletons and zombies.

Old man Shen didn't get Su Cheng's answer immediately. He was unhappy. He patted his apprentice on the shoulder fiercely and said angrily, "Don't laugh. I specially watched it. The temperature of the protective bed can rise to 250 degrees. There is no problem with our catalyst.

"

The apprentice grinned in pain, gasped and dared not make a sound.

Su Cheng thought, the old man saved his strength and used it here. He smiled and said, "For Casali's set of equipment, we do require the use of domestic catalysts. But we have to wait for the equipment to be installed before we decide which catalyst to use.

In the production process of large chemical industry, the importance of catalyst is no less than that of chemical equipment. Whether it is a 10,000-ton large jar, 100,000-ton large jar, or a million-ton jar, it is still a chemical reaction. The raw materials fuse with each other to produce methanol, ethylene, etc. required by the factory...

The faster the reaction, the higher the yield. With the progress of technology, it is also a large 4-meter jar, but the yield is different.

China's catalyst technology is not bad. The development of chemical equipment depends on the overall level of industry. Catalysts do not have such high requirements. Many chemical research institutes have maintained their research on catalysts, barely falling too far.

As far as methanol catalysts are concerned, imported catalysts can play catalytic activity for a long time at about 230 degrees, and domestic catalysts often require more than 250 degrees. The temperature gap of the protective bed, on the one hand, increases the difficulty of the equipment, and on the other hand, reduces the life of the catalyst. In the end, which catalyst is more economical and needs to be measured.

Mr. Shen, who is used to the planned economy, didn't think so. He said, "You still lied to my old man. What are you still thinking about? You are the chairman. Don't you have the final say? Just say, do you want to use the domestic one?

His apprentice is also about 40 people. He is a middle and senior cadre in the factory. Seeing the old man's tone is tough, he quickly mixed up and said, "The chief engineer means that he hopes that Dahua Chemical Company can consider more domestic catalysts. Our performance is no worse than that of foreign products, and the price is much cheaper.

Shen Shan punched his apprentice on the shoulder and said, "I don't know what I mean. Do you still want to talk too much? Even if the price of domestic catalysts is the same as that of foreign catalysts, we should not be patriotic if we can't use domestic catalysts for the commodity economy, right?

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Of course, I want to use domestic catalysts, otherwise I will not specifically ask Swiss manufacturers to do the equipment transformation of domestic catalysts. However, we have to consider which domestic manufacturer's catalyst to use.

The old man was happy and said, "So, do you agree to use domestic catalysts?"

"In principle."

"Our petrochemical is the leader of the national petrochemical system, ranking at the top in the country. Not to mention the catalyst you want to use, you must use ours." Old man Shen did not give in and pressed step by step.

Su Cheng's eyes flashed, but he saw through the old man and pretended to be crazy. This guy is obviously a healthy person, but he wants his apprentice to help him win sympathy. In terms of the commodity economy, his goods are much more thorough than others. For an order, he dares to use any tricks, which is quite in the mental state of later salesmen. Of course, the factory director often did these tricks he used in the era of planned economy. In the era of spending national money to make national money, it was a kind of ability to mess up orders. Many superiors threw out orders casually because they were annoyed.

Discover that Dahua's methanol project can use domestic catalysts, and the genes of Shenshan's planned economy era will be activated.

Once 120,000 tons of methanol is put into production, there are many catalysts used every year. Although its consumption is small, it can't stand the "big" of the big chemical industry, and one in 10,000 tons of 120,000 tons is also a lot of money.

Su Cheng has never seen the catalyst of Sinopec. He said without hesitation, "Due to the test drive, we will invite the catalyst supplier to test it. Mr. Shen, don't worry. We will definitely inform you at that time."

"When you wait for the test drive, how long will you have to wait? Let me tell you, you can choose our petrochemical catalyst now. We will immediately test according to your equipment. If you can't use it, we will modify it immediately and never delay your production. It is simpler and more practical than bidding." Shen Shan patted his apprentice's chest to guarantee.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Is your catalyst modification speed so fast?"

"I began to study catalysts in the 1960s. You tell me the production time, and I'll tell you how many times you can modify it." Chief Engineer Shen is full of confidence.

Su Cheng said, "It is not certain that it will be put into production. If it is a test drive, it will definitely be carried out before the end of this year."

"At the end of this year..." Mr. Shen repeated, his face changed slightly, and said, "Isn't that less than two months?"

"Mechanized large chemical equipment, all the chips do not weigh 10 kg, and of course the test time is fast.

"

Su Cheng took it for granted, but Shen Shan and his apprentice did not. The two even considered the possibility of Su Cheng cheating on themselves.

The production period of domestic chemical equipment is often delayed by about 2 years. There are bureaucratic reasons, engineering companies, and foreign manufacturers and import and export companies.

Dahua Industry is different. In order to put it into production as soon as possible, the Ministry of Strategy has already done countless analyses to repeatedly confirm the factors affecting the progress of the project. The final conclusion is to "implement the drawings" and "the arrival of long-term equipment".

The construction of large chemical equipment is similar to that of urban construction. Different areas need to be explored and calculated separately, and finally the drawings are finally formed. If the drawings are not determined, the project cannot start. Historically, there have been things waiting for drawings for two years, and it is magical to let the purchased equipment wind and rain.

Long-term equipment is another bottleneck. For example, in methanol equipment, a large jar with a diameter of 4 meters is a long-cycle equipment. The manufacturer will produce it when they place an order, at least two or three months. If there is still a queue in front of it, it will have to be postponed. If there is a queue, it will have to be postponed. If the large can is not available, no matter how complete the parts are, they cannot be installed. That is to say, if the important equipment is not available, it will not help if the ordinary parts arrive. A set of large chemical equipment, dozens or hundreds of long-cycle equipment, if it cannot be implemented one by one, keep confirming with the manufacturer. Once the delay occurs, it will become a waiting equipment...

State-owned enterprises are inefficient and often focus on waiting. A big can hasn't been delivered. Maybe it's okay to make a phone call. Without formal documents or even a lawyer, the other party's manufacturers dare to jump the queue in front to make more money. The better the year is, the more so.

Wait and wait, three or five months and half a year have passed. Once there is a mobilization within the state-owned enterprise, the delay will be longer...

Su City naturally does not allow such a thing to happen. He mobilized almost all the energy of the group. He not only urged every day and sent personnel to manufacturers to discuss, but also used funds to actively jump the queue. If it hadn't been for the fact that 120,000 tons of methanol equipment were more eye-catching, he might have shipped the old equipment disassembled from Brazil first.

This kind of operation mode with analysis, mobilization and action, the degree of modernization is more than that of petrochemical, and the turbid eyes of Mr. Shen can't tell whether what Su Cheng said is true or false. He worked in the factory in the 1950s and never really broke away from the bureaucratic system for large-scale chemical installation. In the past few years, they produced a set of 100,000-ton ethylene equipment, which took two years and about two years to put it into production. In addition to political tasks, the leisurely business model has never been considered on a monthly basis.

Seeing that Su Cheng's expression was not fake, Mr. Shen was not sure.

Sucheng conjectured that 2 months was not enough for them to do a debugging. He didn't wait for Mr. Shen to go back on his promise and whispered, "Wait for December. When we test drive, we will definitely invite Petrochemical."

"It has to be like this." Shen Shan is not in a good mood.

Su Cheng was a little sympathetic and helpless. For a 60-year-old man, the society after the reform and opening up has indeed changed too fast.

In the era when young people are lost if they are not careful, it is really hard for the elderly to keep up with the pace of society and science.

"If you are interested, in a couple of days, our Dahua Chemical Company will accept the 'interview' of Calissa Company. You can come to visit Petrochemical." Su Cheng took the initiative to invite.

"Interview for safe boot?"

"Yes." After Casali installs the methanol equipment, it will test the whole process and enter the official production state. However, large industrial equipment is not household appliances, and hundreds of operators must have standardized operations to avoid production accidents. Therefore, manufacturers need to train employees who receive customers. They can't start testing until all the staff pass the interview. It is not until it is safe, economical and stable that the project is officially completed.

Shen Shan was once again surprised by the progress of Dahua Chemical Company, but this time he didn't say anything. He slowly turned around and said, "Be sure to come and see."

Sucheng is full of confidence in the employees of Dahua Chemical Company, and the results of the group's internal tests are also very good.

Therefore, he invited not only domestic enterprises such as Shanghai Petrochemical, but also officials from Formosa Plastics and the central government.

Once the test is passed, it means that the investment in the first project of the Haicang plan is no longer hindered. This will be a great stimulus for both sides.
