Lurgi gmbh & Co.

Lurgi Company is one of the most famous engineering companies in the chemical field, and has a long history of contact with China's chemical system. It is famous for its expertise in coal chemical industry, and it has been 5 years since China introduced its fixed-bed pressurized coal gasification technology to produce city gas and synthetic ammonia. Lurgi Company has made great adjustments in strategy with the changes of the times. First, Lurgi Company transferred the coal gasification technology to Sasso, South Africa, and established Sasso-Lurgi Company. Secondly, Lurgi Company shifted its focus from coal to oil and natural gas, paying equal attention to oil, gas and chemicals, and developing products with higher added value. There are 13 employees, and the sales revenue last year was 1.1 billion dollars. Lurgi Group consists of three parts, namely Oil, gas and chemicals (oil? Gas? Chemicals, Life Sciences and metals. Lurgi started from nonferrous metals and is now developing in the direction of oil and gas, but China is still Lurgi's largest business center. Luqi Company and China Consulting Company jointly established Beijing Luqi Engineering Consulting Company, which has been in operation for nearly two years.

Lurgi's current business includes technology research and development, engineering consulting, project feasibility study, market development and technical services. Lurgi company is proud of its research and development ability, and began to apply for the first patent in 1897. The company has perfect experimental and testing devices to meet the needs of research and development, and has more than 1 sets of test equipment, which can be developed together with customers and enjoy the results. For customers who hold raw materials but don't know the direction, they can help them develop and ensure that the products have long-term competitiveness in the international market. At present, the company is mainly engaged in research and development of new processes, demonstration devices for existing process transformation, and analysis and evaluation of catalysts.

Lurgi's most obvious move towards oil and gas development is to develop a super-large-scale methanol production process with natural gas as raw material, with a capacity of 5, tons per day. At present, two sets of plants are being built in Trinidad and Tobago and Iran. The process is as follows: natural gas is mixed with oxygen after desulfurization and pre-conversion, and then mixed with hydrogen after autothermal conversion to synthesize methanol. In the application of methanol, Lurgi developed MTP technology for producing propylene from methanol with ZSM5 molecular sieve as catalyst, which is worth learning.

Lurgi Company has developed the super-large methanol technology with a daily output of more than 5, tons, and extended the MTP technology for producing propylene from methanol. With ZSM5 molecular sieve as catalyst, it has made a technical breakthrough. The technical and economic feasibility evaluation confirmed that if the market price of propylene is 38-4 dollars and the cost of methanol is 8-1 dollars, the internal income of the enterprise can reach 13-25%. Combined with China's situation, the cost of several large-scale methanol production plants with an annual output of 6, tons recently evaluated is within this range, which is worth learning.
