Good News Keeps Pouring In! The New 8-Effect Evaporator Independently Developed by Henan Jiuye Chemical Equipment Co., Ltd. Is About to Complete Its Deployment in Indonesia
Once announced, this news has sparked heated discussions in the alumina industry — it is not only a crucial step in Jiuye Chemical's internationalization journey, but also a major leap forward in China's chemical equipment technological innovation: it has not only realized the practical application of the world's pioneering 8-Effect Evaporator from theory to practice, but also marks the first time the equipment has gone abroad, opening a new chapter in Jiuye Chemical's global layout.

Deeply Cultivating Overseas Markets, Jiuye Chemical Builds a Milestone with Its Strength

This milestone breakthrough is a concrete embodiment of Jiuye Chemical's efforts in deeply cultivating overseas markets and its comprehensive strength. Since launching its international business, the company has always taken "technological innovation + lean management" as its dual-engine drive, continuously consolidated its core competitiveness, and built an international service system covering the entire industrial chain.

During the preparation phase of the Indonesia project, a cross-border collaborative team led by industry experts conducted an in-depth analysis of the local industrial ecosystem. Combining Indonesia’s policy orientations and infrastructure characteristics, the team tailored a three-dimensional solution covering process adaptation, compliance management, and localized operations; in the production phase, internationally advanced intelligent manufacturing systems were introduced, and quality traceability was implemented for the entire operation process of the evaporator units through digital technologies; in the face of complex challenges in transoceanic transportation and on-site delivery, the project team innovatively adopted the "segmented pre-installation + modular installation" model, simultaneously established a multilingual technical support center, and ultimately achieved a 30% reduction in the equipment installation and commissioning cycle.

The successful deployment of the 8-Effect Evaporator this time not only confirms Jiuye Chemical's leading technical position in the energy-saving evaporation field, but also marks the company's leapfrog upgrade from a "project executor" to an "industry standard leader". In fact, relying on the experience of multiple benchmark projects accumulated in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, West Africa and other regions in the early stage, Jiuye Chemical has formed a complete overseas service closed loop of "technological R&D — project implementation — after-sales support", and the Indonesia project is precisely a vivid footnote to the continuous deepening of its international strategy.

From 7-Effect to 8-Effect: Inheriting and Innovating, Sparking Another Technological Revolution in the Industry

Looking back to 2012, Jiuye Chemical thirteen years ago had already rewritten the industry pattern through technological breakthroughs — at that time, the company took the lead in launching the world's first 7-Effect Evaporator technology, which directly sparked an evaporation technology revolution in the alumina production field and provided a brand-new solution for energy conservation and cost reduction in the industry.

Today, Jiuye Chemical continues its legacy of excellence: it has not only successfully developed the world’s first 8-Effect Evaporator, but also officially secured the contract for the East Hope Indonesia Alumina Project. The iteration from "7-Effect" to "8-Effect" is not a simple addition of effects, but an in-depth optimization and reconstruction of evaporation technology; the implementation of this technology will surely propel the evaporator technology in the alumina industry to a new level and inject new impetus into the development of the global industry.

World's First Set of 8-Effect Evaporator Units: Its Energy-Saving Advantages Lead the Industry in Innovation

Notably, the 450t/h 8-Effect Evaporator units adopted in the Indonesia project this time are the world's first set of such equipment. Their energy-saving advantages are particularly prominent, having set off a wave of energy-saving innovation in the industry.

From the perspective of technical principles, the core of multi-effect evaporators lies in "cascaded energy utilization" — by using the secondary steam generated by the previous effect evaporator as the heating source for the subsequent effect evaporator, energy utilization efficiency is greatly improved. While compared with the 7-Effect Evaporator, the 8-Effect Evaporator adds one more effect, which means more efficient utilization of steam, and the steam-water ratio can be reduced by approximately 0.03. This seemingly small numerical difference, yet in actual production, delivers surprisingly significant energy-saving effects:

Taking an alumina plant with an annual output of 2 million tons as an example, if it is equipped with 2 sets of 450t/h 8-Effect Evaporators, its annual steam savings can reach 227,000 tons; based on the domestic steam price of RMB 100 per ton, its annual steam cost savings reach as high as RMB 22.7 million. In Indonesia, however, since the local coal price is similar to that in China, the estimated steam cost is basically the same — therefore, the two sets of equipment can also save enterprises RMB 22.7 million in steam costs annually.

Not only that, the 8-Effect Evaporator units can also help reduce the alumina cost by RMB 11 per ton, with an annual energy-saving benefit of up to RMB 21.95 million — for alumina production enterprises, this is undoubtedly a "powerful tool" to reduce production costs and enhance market competitiveness. Meanwhile, reduced steam consumption means lower coal combustion volume, which reduces pollutant emissions to a certain extent. This not only aligns with the global concept of green environmental protection, but also makes a positive contribution to the sustainable development of the industry.

Jiuye Chemical has demonstrated the solid strength of "Intelligent Manufacturing in China" with its own capabilities. The overseas launch of the new 8-Effect Evaporator not only brings tangible energy-saving benefits to overseas projects, but also proves China's innovative capabilities in chemical equipment technology to the world. Looking ahead, Jiuye Chemical will surely continue to rely on its strong technological R&D capabilities and rich overseas project experience to shine more brilliantly in the international market. Let us jointly look forward to the outstanding performance of the new 8-Effect Evaporator in the Indonesia project, and witness Chinese technology write a new chapter for the development of the global alumina industry!
