The production process of petrochemical forgings is an energy-intensive process involving multiple high temperature and high pressure steps. In the global advocacy of green and low-carbon development today, the research and application of energy-saving technology has become an important issue in the field of petrochemical forging production. This paper aims to discuss the energy saving technology and its potential application in the production of petrochemical forgings.
The production process of petrochemical forgings includes several steps such as raw material preparation, heating, forming and heat treatment. There is a significant energy consumption at each step, especially in the heating and forming stages, which often require large amounts of electricity and gas.
Research on energy saving technology in petrochemical forging production
Efficient heating technology: The use of induction heating, laser heating and other advanced technologies to achieve rapid and local heating of forgings, reduce energy consumption and improve production efficiency.
Intelligent forming technology: The introduction of robotics and automation technology to achieve accurate forming of forgings, reduce waste and repeat processing, thereby saving energy.
Waste heat recovery technology: In the heat treatment and other links, the use of waste heat recovery system for waste heat reuse, such as preheating air, preheating raw materials, etc.
Optimize the production process: By improving the production process, reduce the ineffective time and action in production, make the equipment run more efficient, achieve energy saving and emission reduction.
Use of environmentally friendly materials: research and application of new environmentally friendly materials to replace traditional high-energy materials and reduce energy consumption from the source.
Taking a large petrochemical enterprise as an example, the enterprise has successfully introduced efficient heating technology and intelligent forming technology. Through the application of these two technologies, the enterprise has realized the automation and intelligence of the forging production process, and greatly improved the production efficiency and quality. At the same time, thanks to the use of efficient heating methods, the company successfully reduced energy consumption by 30%. In addition, the company has also implemented waste heat recovery projects, the waste heat generated in the heat treatment process is used to preheat raw materials and air, saving energy costs of one million yuan per year.
The research and application of energy-saving technology in the production process of petrochemical forgings is not only related to the economic benefits of enterprises, but also responds to the social responsibility of global green and low-carbon development. At present, a number of energy-saving technologies have achieved remarkable results in the production of petrochemical forgings. However, with the advancement of science and technology and the increasing demand for green development, we still need to continue to explore and innovate more efficient energy-saving technologies. In the future, through cross-border cooperation and technological innovation, we are confident to achieve efficient, green and sustainable development of the petrochemical forging production process.
