HTAC’s ACC for Sinopec’s Coal Deep Processing Project in Ordos

In 2014, HTAC delivered a reliable and efficient air-cooled condenser (ACC) for the Coal Deep Processing Demonstration Project by Sinopec Engineering Incorporation in Ordos, China. Designed to operate in extreme cold conditions with temperatures as low as -30.4°C, the ACC provided robust cooling performance, ensuring the success of this large-scale coal processing initiative.

Project Scope and Background

End Client:

Sinopec Engineering Incorporation, a leader in energy and chemical engineering, required a highly durable and efficient cooling system for its Coal Deep Processing Demonstration Project located in Ordos, an industrial hub for coal-based energy.

Project Location:

Ordos, China, experiences harsh winters with temperatures dropping to -30.4°C, creating unique challenges for cooling systems. The ACC needed to withstand these extreme conditions without compromising performance.

Key Requirements:

• Extreme Cold Weather Operation: The system had to perform reliably at temperatures as low as -30.4°C.

• Efficient Cooling for Coal Processing: The ACC needed to handle significant heat loads associated with coal deep processing.

• Durability and Low Maintenance: Long-lasting performance in a demanding industrial environment was critical.

HTAC’s ACC Solution

HTAC designed a high-performance air-cooled condenser tailored to withstand Ordos’s harsh climate and meet the operational demands of the coal processing facility.
