Lin Kaiwen, Chairman of Kaiquan Pump Industry Group
In his speech, Lin Kaiwen said that as the world’s attention to climate change increases, the water pump industry is also facing severe carbon emission challenges.
Kaiquan actively responds to the national energy conservation and emission reduction policy. Since 2016, it has continued to increase investment in hydraulic research and development and performance improvement. So far, it has invested a total of 750 million yuan and achieved more than 80 excellent hydraulic models and results.
In the fields of nuclear power, large-scale thermal power and petrochemicals, the group has completed the identification of 26 major new products and achieved a number of first-of-its-kind breakthroughs.
In terms of energy-saving transformation, Kaiquan has completed more than 4,764 projects, with an estimated power saving of 2.686 billion kWh, electricity bills of 1.88 billion yuan, and a reduction of 2.192 million tons of carbon emissions.
In addition, he also mentioned Kaiquan’s value-added services in water pump evaluation, diagnosis, and testing, and hoped that the industry would develop in a greener and more sustainable direction in the future.
In the keynote speech session, guests including Huang Libin, former director of the Energy Conservation Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Jin Guogang, deputy secretary-general of the China Chemical Energy Conservation Technology Association, Qin Hongbo, deputy director of the Shanghai Energy Efficiency Center, Cai Yutian, deputy general manager of Sinopec Energy Conservation Technology Service Co., Ltd., Zhang Long, deputy general manager of the Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Monitoring Center of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, and Xie Fuhai, former deputy chief engineer of Hualu Engineering Technology Co., Ltd., respectively conducted in-depth exchanges and sharing on topics such as “Analysis report on energy conservation in the petrochemical industry”, “Introduction to ultra-low energy consumption circulating water integrated technology”, and “Application of energy conservation technology in the energy and chemical industry”.
Deng Banghua, Deputy General Manager of Kaiquan Energy and Industrial Division
China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of chemical products, and pump equipment is widely used in large quantities. In many chemical fields such as oil refining, ethylene and coal-to-liquids, centrifugal pumps, as core equipment, have a decisive impact on production efficiency and energy consumption.
However, in actual operation, pump equipment often fails to achieve optimal working conditions, resulting in low energy efficiency and serious waste of resources. Faced with this situation, Kaiquan, relying on its deep accumulation in the field of pump equipment, has launched a comprehensive and efficient renovation plan to improve corporate energy efficiency and reduce costs.
1. Customized system energy-saving solutions to achieve refined management
Kaiquan goes deep into the production site of the enterprise, conducts detailed analysis of the water system process, and taps the energy-saving potential. Through diversified means such as equipment expansion, process improvement, and fine adjustment, tailor-made “system energy-saving” solutions for enterprises.
In terms of equipment, Kaiquan introduced a wide, efficient, and cavitation-resistant water pump model to ensure high efficiency and energy saving within the range of 0.75~1.2 times the rated flow. At the same time, by adding automated monitoring and adjustment equipment, the intelligent regulation of the water system is realized to ensure that the equipment always operates in the optimal state.
2. Technological innovation to improve the performance of pump products
Investing heavily in the research and development of pump products, we have successfully developed a wide, efficient, and cavitation-resistant hydraulic model with international cutting-edge level. Through customized design of new cavitation impellers, basic research, experiments and numerical simulation, the cavitation margin is accurately predicted to guide engineering practice. In addition, Kaiquan also uses three-dimensional reliability verification to ensure the consistency of design, mold and entity, and improve the overall performance of the product.
3. Intelligent scheduling and simulation analysis to optimize system layout
Use CFD flow field analysis and Flowmaster software to model and analyze the circulating water system, optimize the pipeline layout, and provide system flow and pressure conditions after different pump types are combined in parallel units,
to ensure that the operating parameters of wide and high-efficiency pumps are efficient as system requirements and environment changes, and further improve the overall energy efficiency of the system.
4. All-round service to help companies save energy and reduce consumption
Kaiquan launched the “two free, one free, and one recycling” service, including free equipment diagnosis and upgrade solutions, free energy-saving detection and energy-saving transformation solutions, and old pump recycling services that are higher than market valuations
In addition, Kaiquan also provides professional equipment maintenance services and other brands of pump parts mapping and supply services to ensure the long-term stable operation of customers’ equipment and reduce maintenance costs.
Before the forum started, Huang Libin, former director of the Energy Conservation Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Fang Qing, chief supervisor of the China Energy Conservation Association, Jin Guogang, deputy secretary-general of the China Chemical Energy Conservation Technology Association, Dong Guanglin, president of the Hubei Energy Conservation Association and other industry association leaders, Together with many guests attending the conference, they visited Kaiquan Shanghai Industrial Park for a visit.
During the period, Kaiquan comprehensively demonstrated its high-efficiency water pump products and advanced production and processing processes in the petrochemical field, including multiple series of products such as double-suction pumps, GXS high-efficiency intelligent modular pump units, split-case pumps, and petrochemical process pumps.
The guests showed great interest in Kaiquan’s high-efficiency water pump products and spoke highly of them. They agreed that these products have significant advantages in energy conservation, emission reduction and energy efficiency improvement, and are of far-reaching significance in promoting the green development of the petrochemical industry.
Innovation-driven, low-carbon development! In the future, Kaiquan will continue to be customer-oriented, strengthen research on cutting-edge water pump technology and application promotion of advanced energy-saving technologies, and contribute more to the smooth operation and sustainable development of China’s petrochemical and chemical industry.
