"Gas" Asthma Sichuan Fertilizer Industry Geometry

In the year, the gas shortage regained its head and the fertilizer company had a hard time. During this time, the person in charge of the Kawai Chemical Fertilizer Corporation was busy looking for gas. “Last year, the use of gas was relatively tight. Our load was only 50%, and the highest was only 70%.” Jiang Qing, director of the information center of Sichuan Meifeng Chemical Co., Ltd., told reporters. “The biggest problem encountered in the chemical fertilizer industry in Sichuan in 2010 was the increase in the price of natural gas and the tight supply. The equipment was basically in a state of 'fail-to-eat', and most of them suffered losses,” said Hu Longgui, secretary-general of Sichuan Fertilizer Industry Association.
Relief operation to increase the cost of low-cost operation On January 25, Chuanhua shares announced that the company expects 2010 annual loss of 180 million -220 million yuan. According to the company, the reasons for the losses during the reporting period were that some of the fertilizer production facilities were in the state of waiting for driving for a long time, and the effective operation time of the production facilities was greatly reduced; the cost of related products was increased due to the significant increase in natural gas prices.
Sichuan is rich in natural gas resources and is a major province of gas production. However, the natural gas distribution is provided by the National Development and Reform Commission and used by gas giants such as PetroChina and Sinopec. The local government does not have much right to speak. The province's fertilizer companies basically use natural gas as their raw material. Winter is the peak of natural gas use. Fertilizer companies often face unstable natural gas supply. With low-load operation, companies will spend millions of dollars each time they restart their equipment.
“With 300,000 tons of synthetic ammonia per year and 520,000 tons of urea per year as an example, when the plant load is reduced from 100% to 90%, the full cost of urea will increase by 50 yuan per ton; if the load rate drops further to 80%, The complete cost of urea will increase by 80 to 100 yuan/ton," said Li Hui, minister of the party committee's working department of Sichuan Chemical Industry Holding Group Co., Ltd.
Sichuan's three listed chemical fertilizer companies, urea production in 2010 were lower than 2009 by about 10% -15%. There are more than 100 large and small chemical fertilizer plants, which are also affected by "tightening."
Status Quo There is a phased overcapacity in the fertilizer industry “Since Sichuan has a strong chemical industry base, companies are facing problems such as aging equipment and excessive energy consumption,” a person in charge of Lutianhua told reporters.
Fertilizer companies in the province are basically relying on coal for kinetic energy, and chemical fertilizer companies in our province mainly rely on natural gas. “Using tons of urea requires 600 to 700 cubic meters of natural gas, which is equivalent to three years of gas consumption for a family of three. If the equipment load is low. The gas consumption will increase," the industry pointed out.
The status of the fertilizer industry is overcapacity. A national chemical fertilizer production survey results show that the total urea production capacity will reach 70 million tons by 2012, while the current domestic consumption is only 50 million tons. Sichuan's chemical fertilizer production in 2010 was 4.64 million tons, "of which about 2 million tons are consumed by agriculture, and about 1 million tons are consumed by industry, such as the melamine industry, and the rest are exported," said Zhang Tiejun, deputy director of the Department of Medicine and Chemicals at the provincial economic and information committee. However, he believes that the overcapacity of chemical fertilizers is a phased phenomenon. With the extension of the industrial chain, the demand for fertilizers from industry will increase, and the sales volume will decrease.
In the view of Hu Longgui, the fertilizer industry still needs strong support. “Sichuan is a big agricultural province and has the name of 'urine jars' in the southwest. Fertilizer industry is a strategic resource industry supporting agriculture and benefiting farmers.”
Breakthrough Coal chemical cannot solve the problem fundamentally, and companies are also thinking about reducing dependence on natural gas.
“Before, Meifeng was mainly producing urea. Now it is trying to produce compound fertilizer. In March of last year, we had a compound fertilizer plant with an annual output of 300,000 tons, which would not only meet the requirements of modern agriculture, but also change the nature of natural gas. Dependence." Jiang Qing said.
Coal chemical industry is the way most companies think of. “The project we launched next will bypass natural gas and focus on the development of some coal chemical industry,” said Li Hui. On November 15, 2010, the registered capital of RMB 2.4 billion was set up by Sichuan Gasification Co., Ltd., a company controlled by Sichuan Chemical Industry Group. The first phase of the project will achieve an annual output of 2 billion square meters of coal gas.
However, people in the industry pointed out that coal chemical industry can only be used as a supplement to natural gas chemical industry, and can not fundamentally solve the problem. Coal chemical projects have high water consumption and environmental protection pressures. Coal also has problems of supply and high prices. There are many uncertainties. "Equipment transformation also has a big step to take. Only coal chemical industry can be properly developed." Zhang Tiejun said.
“Fertilizer companies should change the single energy structure, but they should develop high value-added, high-tech chemical products, extend the product industry chain, and make fine petrochemical products.” Zhang Tiejun said that Sichuan fertilizer companies should speed up structural adjustment and eliminate backward technologies. Resources use unreasonable production capacity to integrate existing resources rather than blind expansion.
