1555 Gate of Life(1/2)
After listening to Xiao Feng explaining the principle of the BGO flash evaporation helium extraction method, Qin Xiaotian could no longer sit still.
"Mr. Xiao, this matter is no joke!"
He hasn't smoked much for many years, so he couldn't help asking the people around him if they had cigarettes.
Xiao Feng asked someone to bring him a pack of Huazi, and Qin Xiaotian ordered one for himself with his trembling hands.
If what Xiao Feng said is true and the BGO method he said can really be promoted and utilized.
That will definitely be great news for our Chinese scientific community.
Even if we can purify 1,000 tons or even hundreds of tons of helium from flash vapor every year, it is enough for us to solve many problems.
After all, now we have 99% of helium every year, which needs to be imported.
So we have been importing Qatar's LNG in large quantities, but we are also very careful in dealing with surrounding international relations.
After all, Qatar's refining technology also comes from the United States, so there is a lesson in history, and everyone knows...
Our consumption of at least 4,000 tons per year, and according to the current trend, it is still increasing every year.
If this continues, in just ten years, our helium consumption will account for more than half of the world.
At that time, we have to agree to whatever others say. What should we do?
If there is a way now, we can purify this important raw material from the original waste gas.
What do you think of you above?
Qin Xiaotian originally thought that his career was approaching the ceiling.
Even if the LNG ship's contribution is taken out, there is little room for improvement.
But if he can still make contributions in the field of helium, he feels that he may have to break through the shackles of his profession.
If you can take another step forward, how many people’s ultimate dreams are at this time!
Who works at work and not to be motivated!
What's more, this purified helium can actually help the country develop and solve urgent problems!
And with this technology, we can expand the scope of LNG imports.
For example, we have never talked about natural gas imports with Mao Xiong before.
On the one hand, it is because the main energy of the bear is devoted to Europe.
On the other hand, it is also because we have to take care of Qatar's emotions.
After all, they are the only country at the moment that is willing to export helium to us without any additional conditions.
And we have always had a good relationship with us, and we have no political connection.
But if you want to talk about the reserves of natural gas, the Mao Bear is actually not low.
And in fact, the introduction of natural gas from the bear is more in line with our strategic security needs.
Importing their natural gas is actually of great benefit.
On the one hand, we can diversify the sources of LNG, and on the other hand, we are not far away from us. We can deliver natural gas to us by simply walking through pipelines without using a boat. The transportation alone can greatly reduce costs.
Moreover, if you sign a long-term contract, you can also gain certain advantages in price and cost.
Recently, Mao Bear and Nord Stream 2 on Europe have also encountered some trouble, under the strong pressure of the bald eagle.
Germany's attitude towards this line has always been unclear. The gas pipeline is being constructed at a stop and has caused Mao Wang to be very unhappy.
If we propose to import natural gas with them at this time, they must be very happy.
And for them, natural gas with a helium content of less than 0.1 percent has no industrial value and is not worth purifying.
However, if we buy these natural gas back, as long as the helium content is higher than our own 0.03%, then there will be some trouble.
As long as this natural gas is stored for a period of time, flash vapor will be generated.
And we can use these flash vapors to extract helium...
Didn’t this find a new way?
Although Mao Bear countries are legislated to prohibit helium exports, it is only for natural gas with high helium content.
However, they look down on liquefied natural gas with a content of only 0.1%.
But even liquefied natural gas with such a low content is valuable to us.
There is no way, this is the gap in talent!
These are the countries in Central Asia, which are actually major countries with abundant natural gas.
In fact, at the beginning, we mainly imported natural gas from these countries.
Even now, we still import large amounts of natural gas from them.
But there is a bad thing about importing natural gas from them, that is, their main market is too far away from ours.
Moreover, it is also very expensive to build natural gas pipelines in their place.
We need to start repairing gas fields along the Caspian Sea coast and then pass through our border provinces.
The key is that this road is good. It would be okay if the natural environment is good, but this road is either a wasteland or a Gobi.
Every year, sand and stones fly, sandstorms often shatter, and roads are often blocked in winter.
Therefore, the daily maintenance requirements for pipelines are very high, which greatly increases the cost of importing natural gas.
Entering from the border port, sending it to Hanjiang City, and then passing it to the Demon City through a ship from Hanjiang City.
The distance from the place of origin to the market is too far.
It is really not as cost-effective as importing LNG from Maoxiong. After all, we have built the pipeline to Daqing and can be used together.
We did not have flash evaporation before, so we did not test their natural gas.
Now if there is such a solution, we really need to conduct a good inspection of the natural gas there.
In fact, the helium content in their natural gas should be not low, after all, their industrial level is relatively backward.
They have never done testing themselves, and even after testing, they have no equipment and technology to purify themselves.
If they had the skills, they would have purified helium by themselves.
This has also developed a new idea for us.
Qin Xiaotian smoked five packs of cigarettes in a row and also developed many ideas.
Finally, I have determined the benefits this flash evaporate helium extraction method can bring to us.
Whenever he thought of something, he would discuss with Xiao Feng whether he could really do this.
Xiao Feng would also call cloning experts in front of him to verify.
After receiving a positive answer, Qin Xiaotian would ask his secretary to immediately record all the information in his notebook.
After he goes back, he will sort out the information.
At the same time, he also discussed with Xiao Feng whether he could set up a laboratory first.
It is best to verify this BGO method on one side, and a complete process can be formed.
If the experiment is successful, he will ask the leader to come and see it together.
Only after confirming that the entire set of methods is really effective can the above plan to promote it nationwide!
After all, such an important thing cannot be believed by just saying a few words!
Xiao Feng quickly patted his chest and said, "This is absolutely fine."
Let’s follow the previous route of hydrogen refueling inverting oil.
We first build a laboratory and then straighten the process. Then you can bring someone to visit and verify it.
Once the authenticity of our experiment is verified, we can start the project immediately.
But the helium produced must be distributed to us as a part.
This is Xiao Feng’s proposal, but Qin Xiaotian did not give a positive answer to this proposal.
He just said that he had to go back to discuss this with the superiors, after all, he could not make decisions alone.
Even if the whole set of technology was provided by Xiao Feng and the others, if they wanted a certain amount of helium, he could not guarantee that the above would agree.
After all, this helium is really important. We currently have many national projects, which are also in short supply for this raw material.
You are like the particle collision equipment at the University of Science and Technology of China and the artificial sun over there.
Especially the artificial sun is actually a study of controlled nuclear fusion.
That kind of reactor needs helium the most to cool.
The consumption of helium is also very large. It is said that due to the lack of helium, a team has been formed there.
The current work of this team is not to develop other new projects, but to develop how to recycle helium and then use it.
This shows how scarce we are now with helium.
