Background of the plan

In 2011, the petroleum and chemical industries achieved stable and rapid growth, further improved efficiency, improved operational quality, accelerated pace of industrial structure upgrading, extended product technology to high-end fields, significant energy-saving and emission reduction effects, improved resource utilization efficiency, continued rapid growth of imports and exports, stable and accelerated investment, and basically stable market supply and demand"the 12th Five-Year Plan"The goal of a good start.

At present, international oil prices will still be at a high level, bringing significant cost pressure to the basic chemical industry. In 2012, it is expected that the global economic growth rate will further slow down, and the European debt crisis will become the primary risk factor. The world oil supply and demand will tend to loosen. The overall international oil price will be lower than the 2011 level, with an expected WTI oil price of $90- $100 per barrel and Brent oil price of $105 per barrel. The price difference between the two will be narrowed. The dominant factors affecting international oil prices mainly include the development of the world economy, the trend of the US dollar, and the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.

In the short term, the continuous warming of the situation in Iran has caused this wave of international oil prices to rise. However, in the medium to long term, the most dominant factor in the trend of international oil prices is the growth rate of the world economy. In 2012, the European economy struggled to operate, the US economy struggled to recover, the growth rate of emerging market countries slowed down, and the probability of the global economy facing further decline is high. Therefore, it is difficult for oil prices to exceed the level of 2011. However, due to the expectation of loose liquidity and the complex evolution of the Middle East situation, international oil prices are expected to continue to operate at high levels.

 The high operation of oil prices is favorable for upstream oil extraction related enterprises, while for downstream basic chemical enterprises, the cost squeeze on the demand side is even more detrimental. In 2012, the total investment in global oil and gas exploration and development reached a new high. On the basis of 12% in 2011, it increased by another 10% to reach 598 billion US dollars, with an increase of more than 10% for three consecutive years. The hot topics of exploration and development will still be deepwater, unconventional oil and gas, and LNG. Investment in oil and gas exploration and development will be given more attention in China, mainly determined by China's energy structure.

What is China's energy structure"Rich coal, poor oil, and insufficient gas"，The external dependence on oil and gas is increasing. In 2011, the external dependence on oil and crude oil exceeded 55%. China's huge demand for oil and gas has forced the government and enterprises to increase their efforts in oil and gas exploration and development. At the same time, the country has also introduced a series of policy plans, such as the "Action Plan for Mining Breakthrough Strategy (2011-2020)" and various sub industries"the 12th Five-Year "Plan，Emphasis has been placed on increasing exploration and development efforts for related oil and gas resources for the future"the 12th Five-Year"period，This will be an important development opportunity period for our oil and gas exploration and development.

Solution

Many large and medium-sized enterprises, such as steel and metallurgy, petrochemicals, thermal power plants, etc., have regarded improving combustion efficiency, reducing energy consumption, reducing pollutant emissions, and protecting the environment as important ways to improve product quality and enhance product competitiveness. Therefore, it is crucial to measure and improve the combustion efficiency of the combustion device and determine the optimal combustion point. So, the application of oxygen analyzers in the petrochemical industry is also very extensive.

Taking the catalytic reforming unit in the petrochemical industry as an example, the continuous catalytic reforming unit (CCR) is one of the main methods for secondary processing in petrochemical industry. During the production process, the catalyst needs to be continuously regenerated and maintain its activity, and the reforming reaction can only proceed normally. The measurement and monitoring of oxygen content in regenerator flue gas is an important monitoring method to ensure the effectiveness of catalyst regeneration. To completely burn the carbon layer on the surface of the catalyst, it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient oxygen content in the regenerator. However, if the oxygen content is too high, it will cause ultra-high temperature damage to the catalyst and even equipment. Therefore, a dedicated oxygen analyzer must be used to strictly control the oxygen content in the regenerated flue gas.
