China General Machinery Industry Association Further Promotes the Localization of Low-temperature Device Pumps and Valves

With the development of China's coal chemical and natural gas liquefaction industries, the localization of key equipment required is gradually deepening. Although the 100000 cubic meter air separation unit has been successfully used in Shenhua Ning Coal, large-scale air separation units and low-temperature pump valve products for LNG matching have still been imported in large quantities for a long time. To this end, the China General Machinery Industry Association held a seminar in Beijing on November 17th, inviting relevant leaders and experts from Hangzhou Oxygen Production Group and Sichuan Air Separation Group to introduce the market demand and technical requirements for pumps and valves in air separation and natural gas liquefaction units, and to discuss with the technical leaders of pump and valve enterprises attending the meeting.
After introduction and discussion, the attending representatives unanimously agreed that after nearly 30 years of development, especially the promotion of localization of major equipment such as nuclear power, long-distance pipelines, and ultra supercritical thermal power units, China's pump and valve industry has made leapfrog progress in recent years, and has the ability to undertake research and development of pumps and valves for air separation units and natural gas liquefaction units, as well as the ability to supply products.
The meeting was chaired by Huang Li, President of the China General Machinery Industry Association, and attended by Sui Yongbin, Honorary President of the China General Machinery Industry Association, Song Yinli, Deputy Secretary General and Secretary General of the Valve Branch of the China General Machinery Industry Association, and Xu Jianping, Deputy Secretary General and Secretary General of the Gas Separation Equipment Branch of the China General Machinery Industry Association. Yang Tiecheng, Director of the Major Office of the China Machinery Industry Federation, was invited to attend the meeting.
During the meeting summary, Director Huang pointed out that Hangyang and Chuankong play an important role in the localization of air separation equipment, and have also fulfilled their mission and made outstanding contributions in the localization of natural gas liquefaction units. This time, introducing the demand and technical requirements for pump valves in air separation units and natural gas liquefaction units for pump valve enterprises will have a positive promoting effect on the localization of pump valves. At the same time, it is pointed out that the pump and valve market is very large, and whether orders can be obtained depends on the technical level and supporting capabilities of the pump and valve enterprise itself; The pump and valve products for air separation units and natural gas liquefaction units have technical difficulties, but mainly depend on the efforts of the pump and valve industry; It is recommended that capable pump and valve enterprises, air separation equipment manufacturing enterprises, relevant design institutes, and users carry out joint development to jointly develop high-end pump and valve products for air separation units and natural gas liquefaction units, develop prototypes, and organize new product appraisal in conjunction with user units.
President Huang Li made it clear that the China General Machinery Industry Association will immediately start promoting the localization of pump and valve products for air separation units and natural gas liquefaction units. President Huang will be in charge, Honorary President Sui Yongbin will serve as the general advisor, and Secretary General Song Yinli and Secretary General Xu Jianping will be responsible for liaison and coordination to formulate a localization plan as soon as possible and carry out the localization of low-temperature unit pump and valve work in a planned and step-by-step manner.
