Recently, Zhengzhou Television turned its spotlight on Henan Jiuye Chemical Equipment Co., Ltd. Through an in - depth report titled "Henan Jiuye Chemical Equipment: Collaborating Industry, Academia, and Research to Become a Giant in the Energy - Saving Evaporation Field", it unveiled the innovation - driven development secrets of this leading enterprise in the industry. During the interview, Mr. Ju Lirang, the Chairman of Jiuye Chemical, with his firm words and forward - looking vision, recounted the company's glorious past and envisioned an infinite future.
Stepping into the production workshop of Henan Jiuye Chemical Equipment Co., Ltd., the roaring of machines sounds like a melody of progress, and the flying sparks from welding are akin to the flames of innovation. Since its establishment in 1999, Jiuye Chemical has overcome numerous challenges. With a development strategy of deep integration of industry, academia, and research, it has been continuously dedicated to the fields of industrial evaporation, crystallization, and wastewater treatment technologies, gradually emerging as a giant in the industry.
In the innovation landscape of Jiuye Chemical, the seven - effect evaporator and the eight - effect evaporator are undoubtedly the two most dazzling stars. Looking back at history, in the evaporation section of alumina production, the technology from the former Soviet Union consumed about six or seven hundred kilograms of steam to evaporate one ton of water. Although the French technology improved this, it still required 320 kilograms of steam per ton of water. In 2010, Jiuye Chemical successfully designed the seven - effect evaporator. The first device reduced the steam consumption to 220 kilograms, and subsequent improvements further brought it down to 150 kilograms. As the world's first enterprise to design and manufacture a seven - effect energy - saving evaporator for alumina production, Jiuye Chemical filled a gap both at home and abroad. Its seven - effect two - stage energy - saving evaporator has the largest global production capacity and the lowest steam consumption, reducing the evaporation steam consumption in the alumina evaporation section to one - quarter of the original amount, decreasing the overall cost per ton by more than 60 yuan. This saves a huge amount of costs for China's alumina industry every year. Moreover, it has received the authoritative appraisal of "world - leading level" from the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association. Now, 100% of newly - built alumina plants in China adopt seven - effect evaporators.
However, Jiuye Chemical has not rested on its laurels. This year, the company has grandly launched the world's first eight - effect evaporator applied to alumina production. Compared with the seven - effect evaporator, it can further reduce the production cost of alumina by 30 yuan per ton, once again setting a new industry standard. Currently, the company holds nearly 40 patented technologies, and nearly 99% of evaporator patents belong to Jiuye Chemical. Such formidable technical strength has forged the company's core competitiveness.
Looking to the future, Chairman Ju Lirang, with a visionary gaze, clearly outlined the strategic direction of Jiuye Chemical during the interview: "Evaporation and concentration are common processes in the chemical, food, and paper - making industries. We aim to further expand the application of our advanced evaporators to the paper - making and food industries. Additionally, we see great potential in the field of seawater desalination. Our goal is to diversify beyond the alumina industry and explore opportunities in other sectors." These words fully demonstrate Jiuye Chemical's ambition to break through industry boundaries and embrace diverse markets. Leveraging its profound technical expertise and rich practical experience accumulated in the alumina field, Jiuye Chemical will continue to innovate, venturing into new frontiers such as paper - making, food processing, and seawater desalination. The company will continuously develop advanced evaporator equipment tailored to the needs of different industries, providing high - quality solutions for green and energy - efficient development across various sectors.
From being a follower in the industry to becoming an innovation leader, and from deepening its presence in a single field to exploring diverse markets, under the leadership of Chairman Ju Lirang, Jiuye Chemical has always taken technological innovation as its driving force and market demand as its guide. This in - depth report by Zhengzhou Television not only affirms Jiuye Chemical's past achievements but also expresses high hopes for its future development. It is believed that in the near future, Jiuye Chemical will shine brightly in more fields, write glorious chapters for China's manufacturing industry, and showcase the power of "Made in China 2025" to the world.
