Chapter 16: Doing More with Less
"There is still some truth to what Zhou Gong said."

Gao Yiping took over Zhou Xiaoyun's words and said:

"For this technological transformation, although the county did not clearly set an investment limit for us, the Economic Commission also hoped that we could do more with less money. Our factory has a history of nearly 20 years, and many equipments are aging. On this basis It doesn't make much sense to repair and improve the ability a little bit.

"Zhou Gong gave me an idea, that is, in the future, the equipment can be completely transformed, more than half of the equipment can be replaced, and some new equipment can be added to directly increase the production scale to 2 tons of ammonia, and at the same time switch to urea production. The scale of producing 4 tons of urea. She has calculated that the total investment will be about 1800 million.

"It is definitely impossible for the county to take out the investment of 1800 million yuan now. In the future, it is estimated that we will have to apply for it from the province. But if this plan can be realized, our factory can be said to have reached the sky in one step. Think about it, With an annual output of 4 tons of urea, what kind of situation is that?"

"Ha, if that's the case, I guess the commissioner will have to look at the face of our director Gao when he comes down." Xu Zhenxin, the director of the factory office, said with a laugh, and flattered Gao Yiping without any psychological burden.

"Old Xu, this is too much, you are hurting me!" Gao Yiping pretended to criticize seriously, but everyone could tell that he still felt quite useful for Xu Zhenxin's words.

Qiu Guoliang snorted and said, "Xu Zhenxin, you are too naive. Who can get the 1800 million investment? Our fixed assets are less than 500 million, which is accumulated over 20 years. You As soon as I opened my mouth, I thought that the province would invest 1800 million for us, what are you dreaming about?"

"There is still a possibility." Gao Yiping said, "our country will spend more than 10 billion US dollars a year on importing urea, which is almost more than 20 billion yuan. If we can produce urea ourselves, we can save this money. We use renminbi to renovate the equipment and do not need to use foreign exchange. It is entirely possible to get support from the province to apply for funds in this name.

"Since our goal is to obtain 1800 million yuan of production expansion funds from the province and the county, it is not appropriate to invest too much in this technical transformation. Otherwise, as Zhou Gong said, we have invested so much money in one The technical reform will soon be overthrown and restarted, and the leaders above will feel sorry for the investment in the early stage."

"This matter, you are the director of the factory, you have the final say."

Qiu Guoliang stopped fighting.He could feel Gao Yiping's determination on this matter, and if he continued to argue, he would deliberately oppose Gao Yiping, which would not do him any good.

"Well, Zhou Gong, you can continue talking."

Gao Yiping gestured to Zhou Xiaoyun, signaling her to continue.

The group of them were talking while walking in the production area at this time. Zhou Xiaoyun pointed to the production facilities on both sides and began to introduce her plan:

"According to Director Gao's instructions, we have designed a plan around the goal of reducing coal consumption to less than 2500 kilograms based on the principle of spending less and doing more.

"Because of the need to reduce the renewal of existing equipment, the core of our solution is to recover waste heat and realize the reuse of waste heat, so as to achieve the effect of reducing energy consumption.

"According to the experience data of our brother units and the 'Small Nitrogen Fertilizer Technology Transformation Plan' compiled by the Small Fertilizer Department of the Fourth Design Institute of the Ministry of Chemical Industry last year, we expect that after the transformation, the two coal consumption can be reduced from the current nearly 3000 kg. The level dropped to 2200 kg, which was steadily lower than the 2500 kg standard proposed by the Ministry of Chemical Industry."

"With waste heat recovery alone, 800 kilograms of coal can be saved per ton of ammonia? I don't usually think that so much waste heat is wasted." Yuan Yaodong, the production section chief, said with a click of his tongue.

Yuan Yaodong is also one of Gao Yiping's hard-core confidants, he belongs to the kind of person that Gao Yiping points to the east, and he never goes west.He knew that Gao Yiping supported Zhou Xiaoyun's plan, so he wanted to support him at this time.

Zhou Xiaoyun glanced at Yuan Yaodong and said:

"Referring to the experience of our brother units, we also comprehensively analyzed the production process of our factory, and sorted out four main waste heat, one is the heat energy of combustible components in the gas-making blowing gas, the other is the heat energy of residual carbon in the gas-making furnace slag, The third is the reaction heat of synthetic ammonia, and the fourth is the combustion heat of synthetic air.

"Our preliminary calculation shows that the heat of these four parts alone can reach 500 million kcal per ton of ammonia, equivalent to 700 kilograms of standard coal. If combined with power system transformation, the goal of saving 800 kilograms of standard coal is possible. "

"Tall, Zhou Gong is really tall!" Yuan Yaodong praised with his thumb up.

Zhou Xiaoyun shook her head and said, "Section Chief Yuan has won the prize. In fact, the energy consumption of our factory is indeed too high. Now the average level in the province is close to 2000 kilograms of coal consumption, but we have 3000 kilograms. The main reason is that the equipment is too large. It's outdated and hasn't been updated in years.

"So, as long as we update the equipment a little bit, such as upgrading the combustion furnace, flue gas boiler, and waste heat boiler in the gas-making workshop, the cost is only more than 20 yuan, and more than 100 kilograms of standard coal can be saved per ton of ammonia.

"We were able to come up with such a plan not because of how talented a few people in our technical department are, but because our factory's foundation is too poor and there is a lot of room for improvement.

"It's like a student with poor academic performance. As long as he works hard, his grades can improve a lot. On the contrary, if he is a student who usually studies well, he will have to put in a lot of effort to improve his grades."

"That's right, Zhou Gong is right. My second child is like this. His grades are usually very poor. I beat him up. After a few days of hard work, his grades will improve. Don't you think it's strange." Yuan Yaodong Said enthusiastically.

"I think your second child has been beaten too much by you, and he is skinned." Gao Yiping commented cheerfully. Wu Xun and Xue Jianxin from the gas-making workshop, why did they climb onto the ammonia pool?"

Everyone looked at his fingers, and Yuan Yaodong said: "These two guys have been fooling around all day long and left their posts without seeing them. I guess they must be afraid of being seen, so they hid on the top and smoked." gone."

"Smoking? How can you smoke on the top of the ammonia pool! It's dangerous!" Zhou Xiaoyun blurted out.

"Call them down quickly!" Gao Yiping also reacted and said loudly.

Before he finished speaking, he saw a flash of fire on the top of the ammonia pool.He yelled "Get out of the way", and then rushed forward almost instinctively, opened his arms, and blocked his body in front of Zhou Xiaoyun.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, a wave of air rushed towards the face, knocking Gao Yiping to the ground.

　I recommend the new work "Great Power Ships" by the author of the Industrial Party, Anxiyou, which is about the third-line factories and the shipbuilding industry.Anxi Youyou is also a writer of the old industrial party. He has previously written works such as "Flagship of a Great Power" and "Take-off of My Aviation Era", and won the Realism Theme Essay Award of China Literature.The quality is reliable, and it will be on the shelves soon, the meat is thick, juicy, sweet and easy to push...
