Chinanews.com, Lanzhou, December 5th (Liu Xuemei) "Energy saving and emission reduction, quality improvement and efficiency increase" is an eternal dynamic goal. In the process of continuous research, the 3 million tons/year heavy oil catalytic In the process of starting and shutting down the cracking area, the torch has not been set off.

Speaking of the most intuitive changes, Lu Chaopeng, a technician from the Catalytic Cracking Regional Expert Studio of the Second Oil Refining Operation Department, said in an interview with a reporter from Chinanews.com recently that this is visible to the naked eye of citizens who have lived in Lanzhou for a long time.

  In the past, during the start-up of the catalytic unit, the reflux pump of the fractionation tower often had the problem of not being able to load the amount in time, which caused the material to be flared for too long.

Lu Chaopeng and the members of the innovation studio focused on tackling key problems, transformed the process flow, and adopted five measures to prevent water ingress, which ensured the stable operation of the return pump, shortened the time for setting the torch, and reduced material consumption and energy consumption in production.

  With the advancement of the work of tapping potential and improving efficiency, the No. 2 Refining Operation Department has introduced many practical and feasible operation methods, especially playing an important supporting role in reducing the delivery of black oil slurry and realizing controllable flare during start-up and shutdown.

Through research, the 3 million tons/year heavy oil catalytic cracking unit does not set off the torch during the start-up and shutdown process, which is a contribution to the social and corporate benefits.

  Lu Chaopeng said that he and other technicians solved the problem of occasional fluctuations in the power generation of 3 million tons/year catalytic flue gas turbine generators, creating economic benefits of more than 9 million yuan per year; The problem of unsatisfactory yield, the propylene yield increased from 30.4% to 30.9%, creating an additional benefit of 15.752 million yuan per year.

  Lu Chaopeng is a recognized "blue-collar expert" in the field of refining and catalytic technology.

Successively overcame the difficulty that the power of the catalytic flue gas turbine does not meet the standard, pioneered the fuel injection method for the heavy catalytic device, and completed more than 400 post technological innovations.

  Everyone's success is not accidental. Skills lie in accumulation. If you accumulate more, your dream will be close to you.

Lu Chaopeng said, "Only by accumulating accumulated knowledge can we challenge the limit again and again."

  In 1992, after graduating from technical school, Lu Chaopeng worked in a refinery and became an operator of a 600,000-ton/year catalytic unit.

Follow the master to go to the scene, record the process, deal with accidents or rush to repair... Lu Chaopeng, who is diligent in studying, carefully wrote more than 50 work notes in a few years.

  In 1997, Lu Chaopeng was transferred to the newly commissioned continuous reforming unit with an annual output of 600,000 tons. This unit adopted the most advanced production technology in the world at that time, and the control system was extremely complicated. Collect original English materials and drawings, translate word by word, and rely on our own production and operation experience to solve many problems such as "the high-separator oil pump cannot be transported by water", "the heater in the chlorine injection section is deformed", "the oxygen content meter is prone to failure and heat stop" and so on. The bottleneck problem has ensured that the new device can meet production standards.

  In November 2010, "Lu Chaopeng Model Worker Innovation Studio" was established.

He and the members of the innovation studio searched for the design parameters around the long-term operation of the 3 million tons/year catalytic cracking unit, compared with domestic advanced indicators, and formulated the "Long-term Operation Plan of the Catalytic Cracking Unit", which solved the bottleneck problem that plagued the operation of the unit and realized The long-term operation goal of "three-year maintenance" for the device has been achieved.

  Lu Chaopeng said that the progress from "three-year overhaul" to "four-year overhaul" is inseparable from the collective wisdom and efforts.

Lu Chaopeng encouraged employees not to miss any learning opportunity, and to use the production site as a learning classroom to achieve both theoretical and practical improvement.

Through soliciting opinions from workers, Lu Chaopeng carried out small lectures, small training, "5-minute learning" and small skill competitions in his class, focusing on on-site demonstrations, experience introductions, and unique skill demonstrations to mobilize the enthusiasm of front-line workers to learn technology.

  In 2010, Lu Chaopeng was rated as a national model worker, and the team he led was also awarded the titles of "National Advanced Learning Team" and "Red Flag Team of Central Enterprises" because of its excellent overall quality.

In 2020, Lu Chaopeng was named the "Great Craftsman" of the National Energy Chemistry System and the head of the Gansu Skills Master Studio.

Over the years, Lu Chaopeng's team has cultivated 7 team leaders, more than 10 people have become technicians, senior technicians, and technical experts, and more than 20 people have become technical management backbones.
