When Su Cheng saw this chief engineer last time, he felt that he was really old. He was trembling with someone to support him at any time, and his eyes were as turbid as a fish. Su Cheng thought at that time, was there really no one in Shangpec? He regarded the position of chief engineer as an honorary position?

Now, look, hey, the old man is so strong that he can tear a piece of meat down. His spine is straight, even taller than Su Cheng. Although he is skinny and bone-skinned, his chest is still very wide. Doomsday is coming, and this is the best skeleton to convert skeletons and zombies.

Old Man Shen did not get Su Cheng's answer immediately. He was unhappy and patted his apprentice's shoulder hard and said in a suffocating manner: "Don't laugh, I'll look at it specifically. The temperature of the protective bed can rise to 250 degrees. It's no problem to use our catalyst."

The apprentice grinned in pain, gasping for breath and dared not speak.

Su Cheng thought to himself that the old man was using it all here with his efforts. He smiled and said, "We did require the use of domestic catalysts for this set of equipment from Casali. But we have to wait until the equipment is installed before we decide which catalyst to use."

In the production process of large chemical industry, the importance of catalysts is no less than that of chemical equipment. Whether it is a large pot of 10,000 tons, a large pot of 100,000 tons, or a large pot of 1 million tons, it is still a chemical reaction. The raw materials are fused to each other to produce methanol, ethylene, etc. required by the factory...

The faster the reaction speed, the higher the yield. With the advancement of technology, the yield rate is different for a large pot of 4 meters.

China's catalyst technology is pretty good. The development of chemical equipment depends on the increase in the overall industrial level, so catalysts do not have such high requirements. Many chemical research institutes have maintained research on catalysts and have barely fallen too far.

As for methanol catalysts, imported catalysts can exert catalytic activity for a long time at around 230 degrees, and domestic catalysts often require more than 250 degrees. The temperature difference in the protection bed increases the difficulty of equipment on the one hand, and reduces the life of the catalyst on the other hand. In the end, it needs to be calculated which catalyst is more economical to use.

Mr. Shen, who is used to the planned economy, doesn't think so. He said: "You are lying to me, old man, you are still considering what you are. You are the chairman, aren't you the final decision? Just say, do you want to use domestic ones?"

His apprentice is about 40 years old, a middle and high-level cadre in the factory. Seeing the old man's tone in a tough tone, he hurriedly mixed up and said, "The chief engineer means that I hope Dahua Chemical Company can consider more domestic catalysts. Our performance is not worse than foreign products. The price is much cheaper."

Shen Shan punched his apprentice's shoulder and said, "I don't know what I mean, I want you to talk too much? Even if the domestic catalysts are the same as those from foreign catalysts, you should also use domestic catalysts. If you can't get a commodity economy, you won't talk about patriotism, right?"

Su Cheng smiled and said with a word: "Of course I want to use domestic catalysts, otherwise I would not specifically ask Swiss manufacturers to transform the equipment of domestic catalysts. However, it is necessary to consider which domestic catalyst to use."

The old man was happy and said, "So, have you agreed to use domestic catalysts?"

“In principle, it is.”

"We Shangpei Chemical is the leader of the national petrochemical system, ranking among the top in the country, not to mention a catalyst, you must use it. We must use ours." Old Man Shen took the initiative and pressed forward step by step.

Su Cheng's eyes flashed, but he saw through the old man pretending to be crazy and stupid. This guy was obviously a healthy person, but he wanted his apprentice to support him to gain sympathy. When it comes to commodity economy, he had more products than others. For an order, he dared to use any trick, which was quite the mental state of a salesperson in later generations. Of course, the tricks he used were often done by factory managers in the era of planning economy. In that era when he spent money to make money, he was a skill to mess around. Many superiors threw out the orders because they were annoyed.

After exploring the use of domestic catalysts in Dahua's methanol project, the genes of the Shenshan Planned Economic Economy era were activated.

Once 120,000 tons of methanol is put into production, there are quite a few catalysts used every year. Although its use is small, it cannot withstand the "big" of large chemicals, one-tenth of 120,000 tons is also a lot of money.

Su Cheng had never seen a catalyst from Petrochemical before, so he said without comment: "When the test drive, we will invite the catalyst supplier to test it. Mr. Shen does not need to worry, we will definitely notify you at that time."

"When the test drive is waiting, what time will it take? I tell you, you will choose our catalyst for petrochemicals now, and we will conduct the test based on your equipment immediately. If it cannot be used, we will modify it immediately and will not delay your production. It is simpler and more practical than the bidding set." Shen Shan patted his apprentice's chest and promised.

Su Cheng smiled unexplainedly and said, "Is your catalyst modification speed so fast?"

"I started researching catalysts in the 1960s. Tell me the time of production and I will tell you how many times it can be modified." Mr. Shen was full of confidence.

Su Cheng said in his words: "It is not certain that the production is put into operation. If the test drive is done, it will definitely be carried out before the end of this year."

"At the end of this year..." Chief Executive Shen repeated it, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Isn't that less than two months?"

"The mechanized large chemical equipment, all the chips are less than 10 kilograms in total, so the test run time is of course soon."

Su Cheng said it for granted, but Shen Shan and his apprentice were not. The two even considered the possibility that Su Cheng would deceive him.

The production period of domestic chemical equipment often delays by about 2 years. There are bureaucratic reasons, engineering companies, and foreign manufacturers and import and export companies.

Dahua Industrial is different. In order to start production as soon as possible, the Strategy Department has done countless analysis and repeatedly confirmed the factors that affect the progress of the project. The final conclusion is "implementation of drawings" and "long-term equipment arrival".

The construction of large chemical equipment is similar to urban construction. Different regions need to explore and calculate separately, and finally form drawings. If the drawings are not determined, the project cannot start. In history, there have been things that have been waiting for the drawings for two years, and it is magical to let the purchased equipment blow wind and rain.

Long-term equipment is another bottleneck. For example, in methanol equipment, a large jar with a diameter of 4 meters is a long-term equipment. The manufacturer will produce it after ordering. It takes less than two or three months. If there are still queues in front, it must be postponed. If there are any large jars, they must be postponed. If there are no goods, no parts can be installed. It means that if there are no important equipment, it will be useless if ordinary parts arrive. If a set of large chemical equipment and dozens or hundreds of long-term equipment cannot be implemented one by one, it will be confirmed to the manufacturer continuously. Once the delay occurs, it will become a construction site and other equipment...

State-owned enterprises are inefficient and often mainly wait. If a large jar is not delivered, it may just make a call. Without formal documents or even lawyers, the other side's manufacturer dares to make more money by jumping in front of the line. The better the year, the more this is the case.

After waiting, three to five months and half a year have passed. Once a state-owned enterprise is transferred, the delay will be longer...

Sucheng naturally did not allow such a thing to happen. He mobilized almost all the energy of the group, not only urged and sent personnel to the manufacturer to discuss every day, but also used funds to actively jump into the lineup. If it weren't for the fact that the 120,000 tons of methanol equipment attracted more attention, he might have transported the old equipment dismantled from Brazil first.

This operation model with analysis, mobilization and action is more modern than Shang Petrochemical. Mr. Shen’s turbid eyes cannot tell whether Su Cheng is true or false. He went to the factory in the 1950s and never really left the bureaucratic system to carry out large-scale chemical installations. A few years ago, they produced a set of 100,000-ton ethylene equipment, which took about 2 years and took about 2 years to put into production. Apart from political tasks, the Youzai business model has never considered problems in terms of monthly units.

Seeing that Su Cheng's expression was not like a fake, General Manager Shen was not sure.

Su Cheng guessed that two months were probably not enough for them to do a debugging. He didn't wait for General Manager Shen to break his promise and whispered: "Wait for December, when we test the drive, we will definitely invite petrochemicals."

"I have to do this." Shen Shan was not in a high mood.

Su Cheng was a little sympathetic and helpless. For a 60-year-old man, the society after the reform and opening up has indeed changed too quickly.

In an era when young people get lost if they are not careful, it is really hard for the elderly to keep up with the rhythm of society and the rhythm of science.

"If you are interested, in two days, our Dahua Chemical Company will accept the 'interview' from Calisa Company. Shangpec Chemical can come to visit." Su Cheng took the initiative to invite him.

"A safe start-up interview?"

"Yes." After Casali Company installed the methanol equipment, it will conduct a trial machine to open up the entire process and enter the formal production state. However, large-scale industrial equipment is not household appliances, and hundreds of operators must operate in a standardized manner to avoid production accidents. Therefore, manufacturers need to train employees who accept customers until all employees pass the interview before they can start the trial machine. Until the safe and economic operation is running stably, it is the official end of a project.

Shen Shan was once again surprised at the progress of Dahua Chemical Company, but he didn't say anything this time. He turned around slowly and said, "I must come to see it."

Sucheng is very confident in the employees of Dahua Chemical Company, and the results of the internal tests of the group are also very good. Therefore, he not only invited domestic companies such as Shangpec, but also invited officials from Formosa Plastics and the central government.

Once the test is passed, it means that the investment in the first project of Haicang is no longer hindered. This will be a great stimulus for both parties.
