Petrochemical equipment industry: transformation and upgrading aimed at high-end

Petrochemical equipment manufacturing is an industry that is highly related to petrochemical investment, and the investment boom is both demanding and demanding. In the first year of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, the operating status of petrochemical equipment manufacturing industry can be summarized as “the overall trend is relatively stable, the growth rate has declined compared to the previous year, the industrial structure has been further optimized, and high-end development has been highlighted”.

In 2011, the investment in fixed assets in the petroleum and chemical industries was 1.43 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 23.4%. Among them, the chemical industry invested 960.126 billion yuan, an increase of 28.1%; refining investment was 147.2 billion yuan, an increase of 14.7%; oil and gas exploration investment was 272.305 billion yuan, an increase of 12.2%. As the investment in the petrochemical industry maintained a steady and rapid growth, it drastically stimulated the demand for equipment and provided the soil for the healthy development of the petrochemical equipment manufacturing industry.

According to the statistical data of the China Petrochemical Federation, in 2011, the total industrial output value of the petrochemical special equipment manufacturing industry was 274.42 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 32.8%. Although compared to the growth rate of 40% to 50% in the previous year, it fell. The rate of decline in the growth rate of the entire machinery industry is relatively small, especially as the demand for oil drilling equipment and air separation equipment has remained strong, becoming a bright spot in the development of the machinery industry in the past year.

According to Cai Weici, executive vice president of the China Federation of Machinery Industry, in the context of the tight economic environment at home and abroad in 2011, the economic growth rate of the machinery industry in the first 10 months has been falling month by month, but it is still in a stable growth range. Of the 119 major products included in the statistics, the output of 105 products increased year-on-year, accounting for 88% of the varieties. Among them, the production of refinery and chemical special equipment, blowers, gas turbines and other products have exceeded the level of the previous year as of the end of the first three quarters, and it is commendable that such achievements have been achieved.

At the same time, the structural adjustment and optimization of the petrochemical equipment manufacturing industry progressed steadily and achieved many important results. The pace of product upgrades to the high-end was accelerated, and a number of major core equipment with high-tech content achieved localization. For example, breakthroughs have been made in the localization of long-distance pipelines for natural gas pipelines, and before that, the equipments for the first-line and second-tier pipelines of the West-East Gas Pipeline all depended on imports; the supporting compressors, drag motors, frequency converters, and pipeline valves were also used. All have been successfully developed, achieved localization, and entered the trial operation stage.

In the first half of last year, China's first sixth-generation deep-water semi-submersible drilling platform, “Offshore Oil 981,” was manufactured at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., and was delivered at the end of the year, laying the foundation for engineering and equipment technology for China’s oil and gas exploration and development toward the deep sea. .

In late September, the steam rotary drying unit with an annual output of 4 million tons of crude terephthalic acid/p-terephthalic acid independently developed, designed and manufactured by Tianhua Chemical Machinery and Automation Research & Design Institute was released in Nanjing, setting a world standard. new record. It fills the gap in key equipments of large-scale domestic devices in the polyester field, and can reduce the cost of purchasing dry equipment in the petrochemical industry by 50%, reaching the world's advanced level.

In November, the national "863" project jointly undertaken by Yankuang Group Co., Ltd. and East China University of Technology dealt with 2,000 tons of coal-based new coal-water slurry gasification technology and passed the China Petroleum & Chemical Federation in Jiangsu Linggu Chemical Co., Ltd. The organization's 72-hour continuous operation site assessment. This technology has spawned the largest coal gas slurry gasification unit in the country currently with a single coal gasifier.

At the end of the year, the three key equipments for long-distance natural gas transmission pipelines, namely the 20 MW-class electric-drive compressor group, the 30 MW-class combustion-driven compressor group, and the high-pressure, large-diameter all-welded ball valve, all achieved localization, marking the manufacture and construction of long-distance pipelines in China. Level into the world first.

Cai Weici pointed out that the current machinery industry is facing development pressure: the growth rate has generally fallen; the cost has soared; the profit growth rate has dropped significantly faster than that of production and sales; the demand has slowed down, the production capacity has expanded, and the vicious competition has intensified; while the external demand is weak, the export growth rate is declining month by month; Imports have grown at a rapid rate, foreign capital has been gaining momentum, and domestic orders have been heavily diverted. This shows that the extensive development environment for the survival of the machinery industry in the past few years is disappearing. Only by adhering to the structural adjustment and accelerating the transformation and upgrading can the machinery industry continue to achieve stable growth for a longer period of time. In the period to come, we must implement five strategies that focus on high-end, solid foundations, innovation-driven integration, and integration of green and green, and strive to improve the quality and effectiveness of development, focusing on high-tech, high-quality, high-value-added Breakthrough, and strive to achieve a leap from big to strong.
