Innovation, let Haihua bromine phoenix nirvana - Shandong Haihua bromine plant ten years of reform, innovation and development exploration

To grasp innovation is to grasp development, and to seek innovation is to seek the future
.
From 2012 to 2022, the bromine plant of Shandong Haihua Co.
, Ltd.
achieved phoenix nirvana in the process of innovation and change, and the bromine production capacity and bromine extraction rate successively hit a record high and the best level in the industry, and was recently awarded the title of provincial "green mine" enterprise by the Department of Natural Resources of Shandong Province
.

Innovation seeks a way out

Haihua bromine plant was founded in the early 70s of the 20th century, independently developed and built the first set of air blowing alkali bromine production equipment in China, and then introduced foreign high-end technology for integrated innovation, and the process technology reached the international advanced level
at that time.
At the end of the 90s of the 20th century, the factory was the first in the industry to win the silver award of the highest national quality award, and took the lead in passing ISO 9000 quality system certification, the product has maintained a 100%
excellent product rate for many years.

However, over the years, with the gradual reduction of underground brine water resources for production raw materials, the plant's investment in technological transformation and innovation is insufficient, and problems such as outdated and aging equipment, poor technical condition, and low unit extraction rate have occurred, and it has fallen into the development dilemma
of "halogen reduction and enterprise decline".
In 2012, the plant's bromine production and extraction rate hit a record low
.
So far, Haihua bromine plant has been surpassed by
excellent peers.

Is it to go with the flow and continue to develop malignantly, or to break through adversity and fight a battle?

"We must rely on technological innovation, and we can only rely on technological innovation to create a new way
out for survival and development.
" The leadership team of the Haihua bromine plant said
firmly.
They have established the development idea of "innovation-driven, safe and efficient, green and intelligent, and first-class in the industry", determined the implementation goals of "functional partitioning, centralized control, operation automation, and emergency informatization", and embarked on a road
of innovation and efficiency belonging to Haihua bromine people.

Innovation drives broadening the way

Implementing centralized distillation control, Haihua bromine plant took the lead in opening an innovative prelude to automatic process control
.
Wang Bin, deputy director of Haihua bromine plant, said that distillation is the core process of bromine production, but Haihua has been using manual control since its establishment, and the process indicators are unstable
.
In 2013, the plant built a new distillation building, breaking the multi-year decentralized control model, and implementing centralized control of distillation automation after technological upgrading, and steadily improving
product quality.
After putting into operation, the consumption was greatly reduced, the bromine extraction rate increased by 8 percentage points, and the annual production increased by more than 800 tons
.

The safety and environmental protection optimization project is another highlight
of the innovation of Haihua bromine plant.
In 2015, the plant upgraded the old units
.
Through technological upgrading, the old trees of this old chemical plant for more than 40 years have sprouted, rejuvenated their vitality and vitality, and the enterprise has also entered the "fast lane"
of development.

There are many similar technological innovations
.
In recent years, Haihua Bromine Plant has overcome industry problems such as non-high-grade bromine rechlorination, automatic separation of canned bromine bromine water, and installation of sight glasses in distillation recovery towers, and implemented more than 20 technological transformation innovation projects such as safety and environmental protection optimization of blowing and suction towers, and bromine extraction from old halogen, and product quality and operation quality have been greatly improved
.
In January ~ October, the factory carried out 11 "five small" innovation achievements, creating more than 2 million yuan
.
Among them, a bromine water separator independently developed by the plant was authorized
by the utility model patent.

Innovation empowers new paths

In recent years, Haihua Bromine Plant has adhered to the combination of problem-oriented and demand-oriented, gathered elite forces to work together to tackle tough problems, focused on "breaking jamming points" to make up for shortcomings, and focused on advantageous areas to lengthen
the long board.

Bromine extraction rate has always been the lifeblood of yield determination
.
At the beginning of this year, due to a variety of factors, the bromine extraction rate fluctuated greatly, becoming the biggest "roadblock"
restricting the increase in production.

Wang Bin gave a resounding answer: only innovation
.

Set up a technical research group, the plant's party members and cadres "unveiled the leader", so that innovation vitality burst out, wisdom and talent fully flowed, Haihua bromine plant vowed to gnaw this hard bone
.

Starting from the oxidation rate, blowout rate and absorption rate that restrict the increase in extraction rate, they prescribe prescriptions one by one through repeated demonstrations and experiments, bold process
innovations.
Break the traditional chlorine distribution rate range, increase the amount of fresh water spray, fix the fan air volume frequency, a set of "combination punch", the results exceed expectations
.
In January ~ October, the extraction rate of bromine increased by 3.
79 percentage points year-on-year, reaching a record high
.

Independent innovation of automatic control technology for the whole process of air bromine blowing is the goal
of Haihua bromine plant.
In the past 5 years, the plant has successively implemented 27 major and 217 small technology upgrading and transformation projects such as bromine production online detection technology, bromine production automation improvement, bromine MES construction, advanced control system, etc.
, and for the first time in China, it has built an automatic control operation platform covering the whole process of bromine production from raw material feeding to product loading, which has played a demonstration and leading role
in bromine industry safety, environmental protection and automatic control.

Digital transformation and intelligent transformation, Haihua bromine plant is running the new track of high-quality development
.
"We will continue to aim at the forefront of technology, accelerate the construction of digital and intelligent factories, stimulate endogenous power with scientific and technological innovation, and contribute wisdom and strength
to the construction of safe, efficient, green and intelligent first-class chemical enterprises.
" Wang Bin said
confidently.
