It is not simply "boiling water" to reduce emissions and carbon emissions in petrochemical bases

Recently, China's first large-scale industrial use nuclear energy steam supply demonstration project-the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant steam supply project owned by China Nuclear Power Corporation, a subsidiary of China Nuclear Power Corporation, was successfully selected into the first batch of "Green and Low-Carbon Advanced Technology Demonstration Project List" of the National Development and Reform Commission.

Just like "boiling water", the principle of "Qi Qi-1" is similar to boiling water. By extracting part of the heat energy originally used for power generation in Units 3 and 4 of Tianwan Nuclear Power Station as a heat source, the heat is transferred to the industry through multi-stage heat exchange. The desalinated seawater in the steam pipe network is heated and gasified into steam. The heated steam will be transmitted to Hongyang Thermal Power in the park through the industrial steam pipe network to preheat the water in its steam pipe network and realize the emission reduction and carbon reduction of the "heat energy center" of the petrochemical base. Based on the maximum steam supply capacity, 600 tons of nuclear steam per hour can make up for 30% of the park's steam shortage. It can save about 400,000 tons of raw coal for the park every year and promote the development of the green petrochemical industry.

The green effect of "Qi No. 1" is significant. After completion, 4.8 million tons of zero-carbon clean steam will be continuously transported from Tianwan Nuclear Power Base to Lianyungang Petrochemical Base every year, which is equivalent to reducing the burning of standard coal by 400,000 tons per year, equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1.07 million tons and sulfur dioxide by 184 tons and 263 tons of nitrogen oxides, equivalent to 2900 hectares of newly added afforestation area, saving more than 700,000 tons of carbon emission indicators for the petrochemical base every year.
