Chapter 1475: Visit a coal-to-oil plant

Han has become an oil importer, which happened earlier than in history. It also shows that under the promotion of Qin Guan, the country's economy has begun to take off.
There are still a few years to go. When the bear country is disintegrated, the motherland will be completely strong. At that time, even if the people of the Eagle country regard themselves as a potential threat, it will be useless. Their own strength will make them uncomfortable. Not treated with caution.
When the time comes, I will keep a low profile and let the Eagles play the war against terrorism first. When the game is over, the powerful aircraft carrier fleet of Han has already sailed on the oceans of the world. At that time, should I fear the Eagles again?
Qin Guan is waiting for the arrival of that era. Of course, if his side rises rapidly, maybe the people of Yingguo will not play the war against terrorism.
These are things for the future. For now, let’s look at the progress of Rainbow Country’s coal-to-oil technology.
Today, General Dennis continued to accompany Qin Guan. With his company, Qin Guan's visit went smoothly.
"Our country, like yours, has more coal and less oil." General Dennis said: "So, since 1955, we have started to experiment with coal to oil."
In the car, General Tonys introduced this knowledge to Qin Guan. Now, the car has gradually entered the factory of Sasol Company. The high equipment shows that Qi Ali is full of modern atmosphere.
"Mr. Qin, welcome your visit." After receiving the news, Tony, the head of the company, was also quite excited and had been waiting here long ago.
"I just come and take a look." Qin Guan said: "After all, I don't understand these things."
"We will explain it to you very clearly, so let's follow us for a tour first." Tony said, taking everyone on the modern industrial equipment, from the outside, it is a huge cylindrical tank.
"The most critical equipment here is this slurry-bed reactor. We use Hans's technology. The reactor is equipped with 2052 50 mm tube bundles and is equipped with a cobalt catalyst to carry out a series of catalytic reactions. You can get finished products, the main finished products include gasoline, diesel and wax, and other industrial products." Tony began to introduce.
He tried to be as simple as possible, instead of using complex chemical reaction equations. In short, the basic principle is to carry out a catalytic reaction through a catalyst, so that coal can be transformed.
Qin nodded his head. This principle is not difficult. Moreover, it was introduced through Hans State. During World War II, Hans State developed coal-to-oil technology. Over the years, the technology has continued to develop.
"Now, our annual output here is 320,000 tons, but we are also preparing to build a new factory to make the annual output reach 7 million tons." Tony said proudly.
"Is the investment high?" Qin Guan asked.
"Initial investment is relatively high, but after two years of operation, you can pay back, and then it will be mainly profit." Tony said: "We produce these energy by ourselves, which can effectively avoid being blocked by the outside world. "
This is the most important thing. After all, these energy sources are not only for civilian use, but also for military use. The outside world will use these excuses at any time to prohibit them from importing oil. The modern army will always be available if it cannot have sufficient energy supply. If it failed, if the Hans country had enough oil, it would have been the capital of the bear country.
"Yes, we also need such a factory. We hope that we can introduce a full set of technologies from here, and build the same factory in our country with an annual production capacity of seven million tons!"
Now, the country's oil demand will soon enter the scale of 100 million tons. If a coal-to-oil plant with an annual output of 7 million tons can be established, the country's demand for external oil will be greatly reduced.
Of course, Qin Guan is not dull. If the oil from the outside world is cheap and the price is low, of course, he will mainly import oil and keep those low-priced oils without purchasing. Isn’t that stupid?
When the outside world is cheap, buy in large quantities. When the external oil price rises, you can use the oil yourself, produce it yourself, and adjust it. At the same time, once the external oil transportation channel is damaged, you can produce it at high speed. , Can not let oil get stuck in the pace of economic development of the motherland.
"Ms. Qin, there is one more thing that must be announced in advance." Just when Qin Guan had already decided to import, Tony on the side said: "We use this coal-to-oil process to produce fuel, and It is not entirely suitable. If the vehicle is used for a long time, it will cause serious carbon deposition, which is an inevitable problem."
When Tony said this, Qin Guan suddenly understood something. In later generations, even if a large amount of biofuels are used in China, they will not be used in large quantities on coal to oil. The main reason is that this fuel has problems.
Short-term use is no problem, but if used for a long time, the engine will be damaged!
The other party said that, it was absolutely frank enough, Qin Guan nodded vigorously: "Even if there are such shortcomings, we will bring them in."
The question of presence or absence must be resolved first. Anyway, it will definitely be available in the future. Even if the oil produced is not used by vehicles, it can be used in other ways.
Just like the later generations of ethanol gasoline, it is clearly known that it has an impact on the engine and will cause a decrease in power, etc. Isn't the country still vigorously promoting it?
"I believe that there must be a solution. As our technology improves and technology advances, it will get better and better." Qin Guan said.
Tony nodded: "Yes, we are indeed upgrading the process. At the same time, this process can be transformed with coal as well as natural gas."
natural gas! Tony’s words opened up a new way of thinking for Qin Guan. Compared with coal, natural gas is definitely a clean energy. Look at those heavy trucks in later generations. There must be various emission standards. If they fail to meet the standards, they will be eliminated. However, natural gas heavy trucks are Unobstructed.
Compared with domestic oil resources, natural gas resources are also extremely rich, and the exploitation of natural gas is much easier than the exploitation of oil.
A window was opened in front of Qin Guan's eyes, and he could introduce two sets of devices, one in the Prairie City and the other in the Western Regions. This would greatly alleviate the oil shortage.
Natural gas can already be burned, and there are taxis that burn natural gas, and there are also natural gas heavy trucks. Why convert it into gasoline and diesel?
This is of course necessary. Such a conversion will greatly facilitate transportation and use!
