Selection: Unexpectedly
Yao Min was born in Ningxia Lingwu an ordinary peasant family on the bank of the Yellow River. There are three girls in the family, only a boy like him, who is the eldest son, so he learned to take on the responsibility of the family very early on. 983, Yao Min was admitted to the electrical automation major at Xi'an University of Science and Technology (formerly Xi'an University of Mining). joined the party during his school period and was also the deputy secretary of the Youth League branch. When he graduated in 1987, other students were willing to stay in big cities, but he wanted to use the knowledge he learned to transform his backward hometown. After being assigned to the former Lingwu Mining Bureau, there were very few college students at that time. The Mining Bureau wanted to keep Yao Min to the agency, but he took the initiative to ask to go to the front line to exercise. After several twists and turns, Yao Min came to the Mechanical and Electrical Department of Ciyaobao Coal Mine and became an electrical technician, a high-voltage shift and an underground electric clamp shift. The next year, due to work needs, he was transferred back to the former Lingwu Mining Bureau as an engineer. The next year, the Mining Bureau sent him to the Youth Cadre Class of the Autonomous Region Party School. In the following years, he was transferred to the former chief engineer of the Power Department and Hydropower Company of Lingwu Mining Bureau. Until May 1997, he was appointed as the manager of the Hydropower Company of Lingwu Mining Bureau. He was already in the department level at the age of 132. In 2015, Yao Min was transferred to the headquarters of Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Group and started a series of technical research...
Team: Starting from "a blank"
From being responsible for the construction of Ningxia's first coal chemical project, namely the 250,000 tons/year coal-to-methanol project in 2004 to serving as the commander-in-chief of the 4 million tons/year coal-in-indirect liquefaction demonstration project, Shenning people put the burden of building an innovative international enterprise on Yao Min's shoulders. "The group has made a decision and handed over this responsibility to me. No matter how stressed it is, we must ensure that the project is successfully built!" Yao Min secretly made up her mind. The ideal is lofty, but the reality is cruel. The five people led by Yao Min formed a methanol foundation group, but none of them studied chemical engineering. A pair of feet, a briefcase, a laptop, plus a sincere heart. Yao Min and the others walked from east to west, from south to north, looking for talents as if they were eager to seek talent; they walked out, invited in, walked out, and invited in again! Professional talent recruitment fairs are held in various parts of the country; talent partnerships with Xi'an Jiaotong University, the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and talent training agreements with Qilu Petrochemical , Shaanxi Weihua and other companies... It is the attraction of career charm and the inspiration of humanistic sentiment. Liu Zhifang, an old expert from Beijing Yanshan Petrochemical, has arrived, Mei Zhankui, chief engineer of Hubei Zhonghua Liu Construction Company, has arrived, Qian Xiaonan, chief engineer of Jiujiang Petrochemical, has arrived, Yang Jiayi, director of the Production and Operation Department of CNPC Ningxia Petrochemical Company, has arrived... The elites are gathering more and more, and their popularity is getting stronger. Shenhua Ningmei Group's scientific and technological innovation talents have grown from the initial three to 103, the innovation team has grown from 18 to more than 500, and its members have grown from more than 10,000.Over the past few years, the technology "Huangpu" created by Yao Min has applied for a total of 490 patents and obtained 190 national patent authorizations...
technology: world-leading, filling the international gap
In order to break through the key technical bottleneck of coal gasification, Yao Min led the scientific research team to summarize the advantages and disadvantages of existing coal gasification technology in the world. Based on the physical and chemical characteristics of multiple coal types, it independently developed a single nozzle dry coal powder pressurized gasification complete set of technologies ("Shenning Furnace"), which overcomes the problems of small coal injection volume, high investment, low automation control level, short burner life, and poor coal type adaptability. In the field of 3,000-ton single nozzle dry coal powder pressurized gasification technology, filled the international gap and reached the world-leading level. is a technology that was successfully applied in 4 million tons/year ton of coal indirect liquefaction demonstration project, 28 units were successfully used, saved 3 billion yuan in investment; 23 units of external technology licenses, of which 2 units of were , making a profit of 400 million yuan. won the National Invention Patent Gold Award and was designated as a key promotion technology for coal safe, green development, clean and efficient utilization by National Energy Administration.
Innovation: "Slap in the face" German
They have made more than 100 technological innovations. For example, in the 500,000 tons of coal-based olefin project, there is a DME reactor technical link, which is operated according to the process flow of German technical experts. The temperature is always poorly controlled every time the feed is poured, and no matter how much debugging it is done, it cannot be carried out. They proposed to try other methods, and German experts were both arrogant and stubborn, thinking that if they did not follow their technical route, they would turn around and leave. In response, they worked with German experts during the day and boldly innovated and developed at night. Finally, one day, when German experts realized that "it is better for Chinese people", they finally lowered their proud heads!
Achievement: Create many world's firsts
ten years to sharpen a sword! Yao Min led Shenning people to create the complete set of 4 million tons/year high-temperature slurry bed medium temperature Fischer Tropsch synthesis and oil processing technology. overcomes the design, manufacturing and engineering technical problems of large high-temperature slurry bed reactor - successfully completed GSP (dry coal powder gasification technology) and MTP (methanol to propylene technology. ) is the world's first industrial application of , including nearly 10,000 single projects; ——The one-time feeding test run of 500,000 tons of coal-based olefin project with an annual investment of 17.8 billion yuan was successful.
