Chapter 44: The Furnace of Transformation

After Mo Jinlong left, Zhong Bai began to take a closer look at the ammonia synthesis workshop.

Compared with the small-scale phosphate fertilizer production workshop, the workshop on the nitrogen fertilizer production line is much larger, especially the ammonia synthesis workshop.

Especially after the shutdown of phosphate fertilizer, in order to ensure the profitability of sales, the nitrogen fertilizer production line rotates almost every day without stopping, just to stabilize the shipment volume in the factory.

But after a brief inspection, Zhong Bai still shook his head at the synthetic ammonia production line in the early 80s.

In his view, the disadvantages of the old, high energy consumption and inflexible Soviet-style equipment are undoubtedly manifested in the assembly line of the Shanping County Fertilizer Plant.

Zhong Bai noticed the stupid transformation furnace at a glance, so he immediately walked over.

The conversion furnace is a core and necessary equipment for the production of carbon monoxide in the production of ammonia, and it can be said that whether the structure of the transformation furnace can meet the process requirements and calculation equipment and reliability directly affects the output, energy consumption, conversion rate, catalyst consumption and investment cost.

Walking closer and looking at this transformation furnace, Zhong Bai couldn't help frowning.

Not only does it look like it has undergone several repairs, not to mention its low efficiency, but it also has the potential to increase the resistance of the system at any time.

At this moment, Zhong Bai happened to see an old worker passing in front of the transformation furnace, and he immediately walked over to the other party and asked, "Old comrade, is there any recent maintenance record of this transformation furnace?" ”

This old comrade just took a half-month vacation because of emphysema, and Wei Shijie, the old backbone of the synthetic ammonia workshop who only returned to work today, was not there when Zhong Bai solved the leakage accident last time.

In addition, I only went to work today, and I haven't had time to listen to the story of the workers, after all, the transformation furnace is in the back of the ammonia workshop, and most of the workers who attracted attention after Zhong Bai entered the door just now are in the front of the workshop.

So Wei Shijie, an old backbone who was about to be nearly fifty years old, glanced at this young man who didn't know where he came from, and squeezed out a sentence: "Which department are you?" What maintenance records do you have nothing to look at? ”

"I'm Zhong Bai from the technical department, and I came to the workshop for an internship." Zhong Bai didn't care about the other party's attitude: "Chief Mo asked me to check the synthetic ammonia workshop, I just looked at it, this conversion furnace seems to be a bit inefficient, so I want to know about the past operation records." ”

His words were originally very neutral, not to mention that from the professional perspective of his previous life, everything was true, but Wei Shijie felt very harsh when he heard it, and he couldn't stand it a little.

"Inefficiency? You, a kid who hasn't grown all the hair, I'm afraid you don't know, this converter furnace in our factory is the best converter furnace in the whole region! If you look at other counties, you will know what it means to be inefficient! Wei Shijie said angrily.

Since this transformation furnace was imported eight years ago, Wei Shijie has been in charge of taking care of it, and it can even be said that he has watched it work all the way, and he naturally can't bear to hear this Zhong Bai from the technical department talking nonsense as soon as he opens his mouth.

At least in his opinion, the design of the Soviet-style converter furnace is rigorous, the output is high, and the number of problems is relatively small, how can it become inefficient in this kid's mouth?

Wei Shijie's voice is considered big in the workshop, and he has not been able to speak well after being hospitalized for a long time with emphysema, and his roar, which he has been holding back for a long time, immediately attracted everyone's attention.

He is also famous for his violent temper, and when he was young, he often fought with people in the workshop, so after hearing Wei Shijie's shout, several workers who had no work in their hands soon rushed over.

"Old Wei, who are you losing your temper with?" A worker hurriedly persuaded from a distance.

"This stinky boy, as soon as he opens his mouth, he talks nonsense!" Wei Shijie immediately pointed at Zhong Bai.

However, when everyone saw that the object of Wei Shijie's roar was actually Zhong Bai, they began to persuade him.

"Xiao Zhong is very tight, don't get me wrong, old guard."

"Old Wei, what the hell did he say that you are so angry?"

Wei Shijie was a little confused when he saw that everyone was helping Zhong Bai speak, but he still repeated what he had just said in his mouth, but this time he didn't say the words "the hair hasn't grown".

“…… I just don't understand, what is the inefficiency of our converter furnace? Wei Shijie pointed at Zhong Bai and exhaled: "If you can't tell why, don't come to our synthetic ammonia workshop for internship!" ”

"Old Wei, this little bell has real skills." A worker immediately told Wei Shijie about the inspection of the pipeline leak that day.

But Wei Shijie was not moved at all, but twisted his neck and said: "A pipe is a pipe, and a transformation furnace is a transformation furnace, which is the same thing?" The technical content of the converter furnace is much higher than that of a simple pipe! He can see the leakage of the pipe, and he doesn't necessarily know how to change the way in the furnace! ”

In all fairness, although Wei Shijie's tone is a little hot, this sentence is not wrong in the strict sense, and it is true that the transformation furnace is more complicated in terms of design process and function.

Moreover, there are so many equipment and links in the synthetic ammonia workshop, and it is really uncommon to find a person who is proficient in all of them.

But Zhong Bai just smiled and said: "In my opinion, the technical content of this transformation furnace is not very high, it is just a simple Soviet-style small transformation furnace." ”

After all, Zhong Bai has not only seen the latest domestic large-scale compound converter furnace on the 500,000-ton production line of a large fertilizer plant in his previous life, but also personally participated in its overhaul, and this small Soviet-style converter furnace really didn't pay attention to it.

Who wouldn't say that? You just said that it is inefficient, but I should ask for advice, where is the low? Give me less sloppy eyes and be practical! It seems that Wei Shijie is working hard with Zhong Baimao, and by the way, he handed the running record book to the other party: "After reading it, you will speak!" ”

Want dry goods? Then I'll give you some dry goods.

Zhong Bai immediately lowered his head and carefully checked the operation record, it is true that from the above, there has been no major overhaul in recent years, but this does not mean that its efficiency must be high.

At least one thing is clear......

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhong Bai's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

He closed the maintenance record and said loudly: "The composition of the outlet process gas is a bit low, and there is a certain deviation from the requirements of the regulations, it seems that the internal temperature of the transformation furnace is uneven, resulting in uneven contact surface of the catalyst catalyst, resulting in a decrease in efficiency, is this counted?" ”

"Hiss~~~~!"

Wei Shijie couldn't help but gasp, he didn't expect this kid to pass the visual inspection and simply check the operation record of less than five minutes, and really show him some way!

Not only is the use of words more accurate than that of him, an old worker who has been there for many years, but the most important thing is that Zhong Bai described that this problem does exist!

"Old comrade, please answer my question, does the efficiency decrease caused by the uneven contact surface of the catalyst catalyst exist?" Zhong Bai saw that the other party was stunned and didn't speak, so he took the initiative to remind.

It's not that he has to embarrass the other party, but after this period of wandering around the workshop, Zhong Bai also understands a truth.

For these skilled workers, if you want them to really change their concepts, accept the new concepts they put forward, so as to improve production efficiency and productivity, you can't do it without first convincing them!

"You...... You say it does exist, but there are multiple reasons for that, because ......"

Wei Shijie was about to explain, but Zhong Bai interrupted him with a smile, nodded and said, "You don't have to say it, I know everything." A lot of it is because of the problems of the equipment itself, and the human factor is not big, which is not easy to explain. ”

"Hmm...... Well, you're finally being fair. Wei Shijie saw that the other party's words were indeed not aimed at him, and his attitude softened suddenly: "However, I still don't agree with the statement that it is inefficient." Now our nitrogen fertilizer production has been rising, and this converter has also played a big role! ”

Zhong Bai suddenly thought of an important transformation furnace improvement technology in his previous life, and couldn't help but say with some emotion: "It would be better if it could be improved and let the transformation furnace play a greater role." ”

"What? Can the converter furnace be improved? Small...... Xiao Zhong, you're afraid you won't open your mouth to come, right? ”

Wei Shijie took a shell, originally wanted to say "young man", but he twisted it into a "little bell" in the back.
