Chapter 307 Oil Monitoring System

With Mr. Wang's introduction, the work progress of Dahua Industry suddenly became much faster. Through it, the public relations department quickly persuaded another academician. However, Su Cheng has little time to come forward, and he will only appear when the other party formally asks for a meeting. At other times, Sucheng is either in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange or in the Dahua laboratory.

After two years, Dahua Offshore Oil Research Institute, Dahua Third Oil Extraction Institute and the newly established Dahua Petrochemical Research Institute have all produced a series of results. Most of them come from foreign technology transfer, and a few come from follow-up research, but several projects have been developed and established their own patent system.

In terms of time, this is very fast. In addition to a large amount of foreign exchange investment, the role of researchers in Dahua Laboratory is more prominent.

After several years of training and accumulation, more than 50 "remember names" researchers recruited by Sucheng have gradually begun to emerge. To make an ordinary petroleum university graduate remember his name, these researchers naturally have a unique level. Among them, there are not only the authors of abhorrent textbooks, but also "references" that academic papers can't be bypassed, and most of them are the winners of some awards, such as the National Science Progress Award. Xiang - Although the second-level or third-level National Progress Award is already very powerful, if it does not reach the level of abnormality, the name will not be remembered by an undergraduate.

It can be said that at least one-third of these young people are qualified to be academicians in the future.

Sucheng was able to recruit them, and he also used a lot of thought and resources. At least in China at present, no one will arrange round-trip air travel for recruitment, and provide a dividend system similar to that of large foreign companies. The flexibility of various research facilities and research plans is also very high.

Compared with the national researchers who are still stiff in the 21st century, there is no doubt about the attraction of Dahua Industry to young people.

And they also gave considerable rewards to Dahua Laboratory. In 1990, the number of new patents of Dahua Industry was comparable to that of PetroChina and Sinopec, and the purchase of technology converted from abroad was second only to CNOOC.

Based on the efficiency ratio of the number of people, Dahua Industry is more than 10 times that of Sinopec. Of course, this is not rare. By 2010, there will be too many Chinese companies whose research efficiency is 10 times that of state-owned enterprises. What's more, there are so many academicians in Dahua.

Speaking of which, most academicians often produce a large number of achievements and important results when they are 30 or 40 years old. They are rich and energetic, and it is the best time to do their careers. When they really become academicians, their own scientific research ability has entered a state of degradation.

The academician is not so much a recognition of ability as an honor. When they work as think tanks for national leaders, their professional level is more than enough. However, it is difficult for them to continue their hard research. Most of the time, they command their researchers to do hard research, and their workload has exceeded their age.

When Su Cheng saw the entry of "oil monitoring system" in the laboratory, he had a deeper understanding of this point.

"Who made it?" Su Cheng put down the catalogue and asked.

There are researchers standing around him, all young and outrageous. In institutions such as the Academy of Sciences, they have to wash the flask for three years before they have the opportunity to learn from their teachers.

Yes, according to the current situation in the Chinese academic community, if a young researcher does not have a master with a hard background, not to mention the lack of research resources, even if something is studied, it is difficult to be recognized and criticized. I've heard that Zhang Guan and Li Dai's things have rarely happened. I guess it will always be a mystery.

In Dahua Laboratory, there are people who can't stand the atmosphere of institutional research. When it comes to Dahua Industry, the only thing they need to compete for is research funding and research progress.

The Dahua Science Progress Review Committee, which adopts the NIH approval system, is directly under the group. The peer review process not only requires evaluation review and closing review, but also projects that cannot meet the requirements in the mid-term progress review, or cannot produce benefits, have the hidden worry of being reduced funds or even cut. But as long as they compete openly, study and work hard, researchers have no extra burden.

At this moment, someone looked at a thin young man in the back row with envy. Even when he is young, he looks a little too young, almost like a junior college student. He shrank his shoulders tightly, obviously not adapted to the crowd.

Li Yuxiang has completely become a technical official and whispered in Su Cheng's ear, "Li Zhou has been studying since he was a child. He is a young man we recruited last year. He won the first place in the project review at the end of the year and got the opportunity to start the project independently. This is his first project."

"I see that there are 47 patents written on it? How did he do it?" Su Cheng spoke in a low voice in Li Weixiang, and the others could only look at it curiously.

Li Xiangxiang said helplessly, "This boy hardly sleeps, and the first lubricant he made is very wonderful. After the confirmation of the council, I arranged two assistants for him. The progress went up all of a sudden.

Not every researcher has the opportunity to carry out projects independently. In China, if a researcher can preside over an independent project team at the age of 40, he can be said to be young and promising. If you are lucky, you will be a top student again. Foreign research institutions are rich in funds and can often provide independent project funds for excellent researchers around the age of 30, but most people will not have such opportunities until the age of 35.

Of course, it is impossible for most researchers to host individual projects in their lifetime, especially those projects that cost a lot of money. Only prospective top students are often qualified to do it. This is the work of simultaneously testing the ability and energy of the school, not the pursuit of every researcher.

Even in Dahua Laboratory, there are no more than 10 new independent projects every year. Others either continue their previous projects or work as assistants to other project teams. The combination of two or even three projects is not uncommon abroad.

Su Cheng nodded slightly, took the technical document of the "oil monitoring system" system, and read it carefully.

His understanding of this aspect is actually general, but the system itself is very valuable. It is an active maintenance technology. By detecting the lubrication and wear status of the equipment, it carries out lubrication management, reduces the cost of equipment maintenance, and ensures the safety and reliability of the equipment.

Although it is just a maintenance technology. But in fact, it involves a huge amount of money. According to research reports at home and abroad, more than 80% of equipment failure is related to lubrication. Diesel engines, rolling bearings, gearboxes and hydraulic systems are the hardest-hit areas. Their failure is not only the problem of buying a bearing or replacing a gearbox, but also involves the frequency of equipment overhaul and equipment failure downtime.

For example, for large ethylene equipment, a major repair requires at least 36 hours of downtime, and the loss of profit must exceed 10 million. The difference between two major repairs a year and two major repairs in three years is huge.

Japan's Nippon Steel used oil monitoring technology in 1978. By 1986, their equipment failure efficiency had dropped by 65%, rolling bearing procurement had dropped by 50%, and hydraulic pump replacement had dropped by 80%... In terms of funds, this system could save them at least tens of millions of dollars. Yuan.

The application of this technology around the world can save hundreds of billions of yuan every year.

China did not start the attempt of active maintenance until the 21st century. This is not how difficult the oil monitoring system is, but that state-owned enterprises have no confidence in their own management level. On the other hand, the country's enthusiasm for one-time investment is relatively high, and the enthusiasm for long-term investment is extremely low, which also makes this system useless.

But for Su Cheng, who is ready to go to the Malaysian petrochemical base, this system is the most suitable. No wonder Li Zhou can get two assistants and a lot of money.

"Have you tested it?" Su Cheng made a sound again.

"Tested, we installed it on Casali's methanol device, and it has been successfully run..."

"It has been running for 126 days." When Li Zhou talked about his project, he no longer had stage fright.

"How's it going?"

"Very good, three times higher than the effect of Casali's own simple system. Compared with the old methanol equipment without any monitoring system installed, the equipment failure is reduced by 75% to 80%, and the amount of lubricating oil used is also reduced by half. The answer is still Li Xiangxiang. Li Zhou listened with shining eyes.

It is natural to replace a set of 100,000 tons of methanol equipment with 20,000 to 30,000 yuan of lubricating oil a day, as well as other equipment. It can be said that any savings in it have double value.

Su Cheng looked at the project report and found that the development cost of the whole oil monitoring system was only 2 million yuan. Put it on 5 sets of large methanol equipment, and you can earn the cost back in a few months. What other business makes money faster than this...

Seeing that Su Cheng was satisfied, Li Lin picked up the pen and said, "In this case, shall we put the oil monitoring system in the catalogue of the academician's evaluation?"

"Well, find a project and put the oil monitoring system in." After a lot of hard work, we have invited academicians to do the evaluation. Naturally, we should show the best side and hide the not so good side.

Li Lin then wrote the "oil monitoring system" on the whiteboard behind Su Cheng with a pen. There are more than a dozen other entries on the whiteboard.

Li Zhou clenched his fist. The project on the whiteboard represents the facade of the public relations department, and for the researchers of Dahua Research Office, it means more resources.

Sure enough, Su Cheng put down the document and said, "Add two more people to the oil monitoring project team, and choose from the people recruited this year. In addition, if you are sure that the effect is excellent, try to install another device to form a complete experimental system.
