Jiang Tao: Don't change your ingenuity for prosperity

　　He has won 1 national scientific and technological achievement award, 6 provincial and municipal scientific and technological achievement awards, 9 authorized patents, and compiled 1 enterprise standard and 1 industry standard.
All these achievements are related to one keyword - supercritical
.
The supercritical fluid equipment design and R&D team led by Jiang Tao, deputy chief engineer of Zhonghao Guangming Chemical Research and Design Institute (hereinafter referred to as Guangming Institute), will be included in Dalian's key field innovation team support plan in 2021.
He has also become the largest domestic and the world's only continuous Project leader of the smooth running 2250 liter supercritical carbon dioxide anhydrous dyeing equipment
.

　　Choose one thing for the rest of your life, not for prosperity and ingenuity
.
From the first understanding of supercriticality, and then the continuous development on the road of industrialization and scale, he has devoted himself to the research and development of supercritical fluid technology for 34 years
.
Jiang Tao said that it is enough to do one thing in a lifetime, and persistence is very important
.

　　In 1988, Jiang Tao joined the Guangming Institute after graduating from Beijing University of Chemical Technology, majoring in chemical analysis
.
Once, the Guangming Academy held a knowledge contest, and Jiang Tao grabbed a chance to answer the question
.
When the host asked what supercritical is, Jiang Tao and his phalanx members didn't answer.
It was in such an embarrassing scene that he came into contact with supercritical for the first time
.

　　At that time, the Guangming Academy had begun to brew the supercritical project, and Jiang Tao was lucky to enter the colorful world of supercritical
.

　　After the establishment of the supercritical technical team of Guangming Institute, because no one in China has been involved in this field, and there is little research abroad, there is no mature experience to learn from
.
In the face of setbacks, the technical team refused to give up.
It took nearly a year to design and assemble a verification machine with very little capital, and finally persuaded the evaluation experts with first-hand experimental data
.
Immediately, the Guangming Institute raised special funds for the first time, established a supercritical research group, and Jiang Tao also started research on supercritical technology
.

　　The bench has been cold for ten years
.
After nearly ten years of assiduous research, he has successfully cracked key technologies in chemical machinery, pressure vessels, chemical process and instrument automatic control, and has made major breakthroughs in supercritical carbon dioxide extraction technology and the research and development of industrialized complete sets of equipment
.

　　At the dawn of the millennium, Jiang Tao took on the burden of supercritical technology research
.
At that time, the research results of supercritical technology had not yet produced a large domestic market, which could not support the research of the subject, and the R&D personnel could only receive a salary of more than 300 yuan per month
.
Faced with such a difficult survival situation, the research team members left one after another, and in the end, only Jiang Tao was left
.
As the leader of the research group, Jiang Tao is not without confusion, but after so many years of exploration and research, he firmly believes that supercritical technology will have good prospects and can bring contributions to the country and society
.
"Supercritical technology cannot be lost, and one person must support the entire project
.
" Jiang Tao said firmly
.

　　The leaders of the two institutes of Guangming Academy approached Jiang Tao successively, encouraged him to persevere, solved the funding problem for the research group, and fully supported the research and development of supercritical technology
.
In this context, Jiang Tao started the research on the industrial application of supercritical carbon dioxide fluid technology, took the lead in the development of anhydrous dyeing equipment in China, and ushered in a breakthrough in the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements
.
In 2004, Jiang Tao completed the first 5-liter supercritical carbon dioxide anhydrous dyeing device in China, which was successfully delivered to the Hong Kong Productivity Council; in 2008, he delivered the first 50-liter supercritical carbon dioxide anhydrous dyeing device in China; Development of liter supercritical carbon dioxide anhydrous dyeing device; in 2015, the first 500-liter supercritical anhydrous dyeing device in China was successfully tested; The feeding operation was successful, the dyeing quality exceeded the water dyeing index, and the device has been running continuously and stably so far; in 2020, he invested in a new round of development of 2,250 liters of supercritical carbon dioxide anhydrous dyeing equipment, which was successfully delivered to customers in 2021, and the device has been running continuously and stably so far
.

　　As the leader of the supercritical fluid equipment design and R&D team, Jiang Tao spends more than 8 months on each project site every year
.
"I am a technician, and my position is at the technical site.
I must stick to the front line of construction, find problems at the first time, and solve them at the first time
.
" Jiang Tao said that the cooperation will be long-lasting if the service is done well
.
Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the biggest impact on the project has been the construction period
.
A group of test runs of the Yantai project failed, and the supplier was unable to find out the failure of the machine and required the entire equipment to be returned to the factory for repair
.
Jiang Tao came back from other places to search carefully, analyzed the problem, and found that the solenoid valve coil model matching the manufacturer did not match.
After the replacement, the problem was easily solved, and the final project was delivered on schedule
.

　　"There is a customer who is interested in supercritical technology.
I would like to help him understand more
.
I have done supercritical research for so many years, and I want to see the technology transformed into productivity and make a little contribution to society
.
" Jiang Tao said
.

　　"The development of supercritical technology is still very slow today
.
How to effectively reduce equipment costs and how to further expand large-scale applications, there is still a lot of work to be done.
Supercritical fluid technology has great potential in drying, reaction, foaming and other fields
.
" Jiang Tao said
.
In order to achieve this goal, he pays attention to cultivating young talents, from principle to practice, from design to construction, from daily management to solutions, and does not miss any opportunity to teach skills
.
Now, the two "post-90s" engineers he brought out by himself have also begun to take charge of themselves
.
