Chapter 169: Synthetic ammonia plant

In fact, after Edel received the news that the synthetic ammonia plant was completed and started, he rushed to Ploiesti early the next morning and arrived at the synthetic ammonia plant at noon.

In fact, the synthetic ammonia plant is next to the refinery. It is separated from the refinery by a wall. It is mainly used for the waste gas produced by the refining, which is also one of the raw materials for synthetic ammonia. There is also the associated natural gas that is produced only when crude oil is mined, and it can also be used as a raw material for synthetic ammonia. This is all considered during the construction of synthetic ammonia plants.

After receiving the news that Edelma had rushed to the ammonia plant non-stop, a group of plant management personnel headed by Plant Director Velosev rushed to the door to welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness.

"His Royal Highness welcomes you."

After seeing the arrival of the crown prince, the director of Velosev quickly led a group of factory personnel to greet the crown prince.

Edel got out of the car and looked at the director of Verosev in front of him. He knew the man in front of him. Previously studied abroad at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the best university of chemical engineering in Germany, and achieved good results. Later, he was appointed as the deputy technical director of the Fokssani Chemical Plant (a chemical plant built on loan from Germany). During this period, he Efforts to increase the utilization rate of potash in the chemical plant was seen by Edel, so he was appointed as the director of the synthetic ammonia plant.

Edel said to the director of Viloseff. "Let's go in and take a look."

The world’s first synthetic ammonia plant built in Germany in October last year can produce 30 tons of ammonia per day, and Romania, a plant twice the size of Germany, had to import equipment from Germany that could withstand 200 atmospheres of low carbon. Steel equipment, so it was ranked behind, so it was dragged to the present.

"His Royal Highness, this is our raw material compressor."

Director Veloseff pointed to the compressor in front of him and told Crown Prince Edel about the work process. "This is to pass a small amount of natural gas through the compressor to 4MPA, then mix it with a small amount of synthesis gas and heat it into the hydrogenation reactor."

Edel had a fascinating expression on the explanation given by the director of Vilosev. In fact, he had long forgotten this knowledge of chemistry, but it did not affect his knowledge that synthetic ammonia had a significant impact on the development of the entire chemical process. Impact. And now synthetic ammonia can also increase Romania’s crop production, which has a great effect on Romania.

The director of Vilosev took Prince Edel all the way to explain a series of chemical terms such as a reformer, a high-temperature converter, a carbon dioxide absorption tower, etc., which made Edel's head amazed. However, in order to show that he attaches great importance to the synthetic ammonia plant, he still made an expression of listening carefully all the way, and endured the bombardment of various professional chemical terms.

After finally coming to the ammonia synthesis tower, the last place to visit, where the director of Vilosev finished the whole process, Edel also saw the employees here transporting pressure-resistant steel cylinders filled with liquid ammonia. Edel was very satisfied with the current situation, and he was not in vain to work hard for it.

"How much ammonia can be produced every day now?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Edel asked about the production problem he was concerned about.

"His Royal Highness, because we just started production, we can only achieve a daily output of 42 tons. But as long as four months are given to me, I will let the factory reach the designed output."

The director of Vilosev said that after the production capacity appeared, he did not forget to give Edel an assurance.

"Director Verosev, you need to recruit more workers."

After hearing the assurance from the director of Vilosev, Edel told him about his plan. "We have more than one synthetic ammonia plant, and the current output is completely unable to meet Romania's demand. So you need to train more synthetic ammonia workers for Romania. I predict that the scale of Romanian synthetic ammonia will need to double tenfold within three years to basically meet Romania's demand. "

After hearing the words of the crown prince, the director of Verosev was very excited. Although he will split the construction of synthetic ammonia plants, relying on Ploiesti's rich oil and natural gas resources, he can be sure that at least half of the new production capacity will fall on him, so that he can be called Romania's chemical godfather. This is an irresistible temptation for Vilosev, who has been specializing in chemical engineering.

"His Royal Highness, please rest assured, I will let the current employees familiarize themselves with the work as soon as possible, and then recruit new workers. I will never leave the new factory without skilled workers and management."

Seeing the emotionally excited Vilosev in front of him, Edel decided to talk about his impression of chemical knowledge. "Director Vilosev, you can't just do ammonia synthesis process, but you need to explore the application of ammonia more. I think there is still a possibility to improve the current ammonia fertilizer. Maybe the synthesis reaction of ammonia and other chemical raw materials can let us get better More fertilizers, such as carbon dioxide, etc..."

After talking about his little chemical knowledge, Edel refused the request of the director of Vilosev to have lunch at the factory. It's not that he can't eat in the factory, because he wants to meet the now Mayor of Ploiesti, Dorell.

The mayor of Dorell took over after Karaturi was transferred to Bucharest, but he was good enough to develop Ploiesti from the fifth largest city (187648 people) when he took over to the third largest city now. City (275,611 people). The top two cities in Romania are Bucharest (787067 inhabitants) and Constanta (578,101 inhabitants). From here, we can see the population movement brought about by Romania's industrialization.

Although Ploiesti has a good petrochemical industry and machinery manufacturing industry, these two industries strongly supported by the Romanian government can’t deny the performance of his ability. The most direct evidence is that Ploiesti’s per capita annual income is now The 698 lei when he took over has grown to 884 lei now. An increase of 26%, ranking in the top four counties and cities in Romania, he can be regarded as a very capable official.

Of course Edel likes this kind of capable officials, he wished he had such outstanding people under his hands, and he could feel relieved a lot. In fact, the selection of Romanian officials is pretty good now. This is still due to the memory of Edel's past life. In that era, various civil service examinations and systematic training in administrative schools have sent too many talents to the country.

Now Romania is gradually improving in this area under the influence of Crown Prince Edel. Among them, the latest assessment of government officials in Romania included the assessment of local gross national product and per capita income. And Romania also started the civil service examination last year to attract a large number of aspiring young people to join the government. It's just that these people are still at the bottom and can't see the effect, but as time goes by, sooner or later they will replace those old-school officials.

Moreover, Edel intends to establish an administration college next year to allow these new government officials to train more and improve the government's ability to execute. This will allow the government to better coordinate Romania’s resources, so that the territories captured after World War I can better integrate into Romania.

"His Royal Highness has arrived at the city hall. Mayor Dorell and the city officials waited at the door."

A report interrupted Edel's thoughts.

Sitting in the car, Edel said to the guard who reminded him outside the car. "If I get it, I'll come out."

"I have seen your Highness."

Seeing the crown prince walking out of the car door, Mayor Dorell brought key government officials to greet him.

Looking at the officials in Ploiesti who saluted him, Edel waved to them. "Okay, let's go in."

After speaking, Edel walked to the mayor of Dorell, and the mayor led him into the city hall.

"Welcome your Highness to visit Ploiesti."

After leading Edel into the city hall, Mayor Dorell said welcome. In fact, apart from staying in the capital, Bucharest, Edel visited Constanta the most. For the current third largest city, Ploiesti, he was transferred to Karatuly very rarely.

"I am very satisfied with the development of Ploiesti. In just four years, your population has increased by nearly 100,000, and your per capita income has increased by a quarter. These are inseparable from the results of your hard work. I I would like to thank you all and hope that Ploiesti can develop even better in the days to come."

As Prince Edel's voice fell, all the officials present showed excitement. They feel the kindness from the crown prince and believe that as long as they don't make major mistakes, they will all develop well in the future.

After seeing the expressions of the officials in front of him, Edel continued. "Of course, we will not forget the meritorious officials."

At this time, Edel took out a Royal Knight's Medal from his pocket and told Mayor Dorell. "This knight medal is to recognize your contribution to it."

In the face of the sudden Royal Knights Medal, other government officials looked at Mayor Dorell with envy. Although they have not been promoted to a higher position, the officials present are very clear about the meaning of the Royal Knights Medal. This means that Mayor Dorell has been recognized by the crown prince, which is a great opportunity. Nobody knows that the crown prince is now in power alone, and Prime Minister Bretianu is at best to get the power given to him by the crown prince to do things~www.readwn.com~ if we don't give this prime minister, there is no way at all.

"This medal is too expensive, and my current credit is not enough to qualify for it."

Faced with this knight medal that made all the officials present, Mayor Dorell resisted the temptation to speak. It's not that he doesn't know how rare this opportunity is, but now he thinks that what he gets will stand out in the government and is not conducive to future development.

Faced with Mayor Dorell’s refusal, Edel certainly would not take it back, he continued. "This is to let everyone know that the country will not forget that everyone who has paid for it must accept it."

"Thank your Highness for your love for me, I will develop Ploiesti even more beautifully in the future."

After hearing the words of the crown prince, Mayor Dorell knew that he had to accept this knight medal, otherwise it was a manifestation of dissatisfaction with the royal family. In fact, he regretted it at the beginning after he made the refusal. After all, if he was misunderstood by the crown prince, then he would really be wronged.

Edel put the medal on Mayor Dorell's chest and patted him on the shoulder to encourage him. "Working hard and making greater contributions to Romania in the future will be able to bridge the gap in the region."

A young man in his twenties patted the shoulder of a middle-aged man who was almost forty to encourage him. None of the people present felt discordant.

After conferring honours on Mayor Dorell, Edel also met with the officials of the city hall one by one, and every official he met was cautiously grateful to His Royal Highness. From this we can see the current prestige of Edel in Romania, most of which is due to Romania's economic and military development under the leadership of the crown prince in the past few years.

Moreover, in the Second Balkan War, it established its first position among the Balkan countries in one fell swoop. These achievements cannot be avoided by the key figure, His Royal Highness.
