One set of Yuchai 16VCN 1200kW gas generator set is deployed for the ferrochromium tail gas comprehensive utilization power project in Fengzhen City, Inner Mongolia. Dedicated to recycling waste tail gas generated from local ferrochromium smelting production, the unit realizes waste-to-power conversion, providing stable and continuous power supply for the circular economy industrial park.
1.Background:
Fengzhen Ferrochromium Tail Gas Power Project (Inner Mongolia) Fengzhen City, located in Fengchuan Circular Economy Development Zone, Inner Mongolia, is a key industrial base for ferroalloy and ferrochromium smelting in northern China. Local ferrochromium production generates massive amounts of industrial tail gas, which used to face low-efficiency treatment or direct emission, resulting in energy waste and environmental pressure. To promote green industrial transformation and resource recycling, the local enterprise launched a tail gas comprehensive utilization power project, taking smelting waste gas as renewable fuel for on-site power generation.
The project adopts recycled ferrochromium tail gas for power production, solving the problem of waste gas disposal while supplementing on-site industrial power consumption. It effectively reduces reliance on grid electricity and cuts industrial carbon emissions. The working conditions feature fluctuating tail gas concentration, complex gas composition and continuous high-load operation, which put forward strict requirements on gas adaptability, operational stability and durability of gas generator sets. The project is a typical circular economy practice for energy conservation, emission reduction and clean production in the ferroalloy industry.
2.Why Adopt Single 1200KW Yuchai 16VCN Unit
According to the project's actual tail gas output and stable load demand, a single Yuchai 16VCN 1200kW gas generator set is perfectly matched for independent operation. Compared with multi-unit parallel schemes, the single-unit configuration brings targeted advantages for this ferrochromium tail gas power project:
First, the 16VCN series is professionally calibrated for industrial smelting tail gas working conditions. It adapts to the fluctuating concentration and complex components of ferrochromium tail gas, ensuring stable combustion and consistent power output under long-term high-load operation.
Second, the integrated single-unit design simplifies on-site installation, commissioning and daily operation management. It avoids complex parallel synchronization systems, reduces equipment failure rates and lowers long-term operation and maintenance costs for the plant.
Third, the waste gas power generation mode converts previously exhausted ferrochromium tail gas into clean electric energy, helping the enterprise realize resource recycling, reduce comprehensive energy consumption and meet regional environmental protection and dual-carbon policy requirements.
