High Quality Development Research Tour: The Rise of Industrial Clusters Between the Desert and the Yangtze River in Xinjiang | High Quality | Desert
High quality development research tour
Guangming Daily reporter Wang Zhongyao, Shang Jie, Chen Xue, and Zhang Xiaohua
In the mid autumn season, the reporter came to the beautiful Xinjiang to admire the unique scenery of high-quality development here.
"I am a cycling enthusiast, and the carbon fiber material in my frame may not be produced by you, right?" "Haha, that's really possible!" In the Ganquanbao Economic and Technological Development Zone of Urumqi City, facing a reporter's question, Zhou You, the deputy general manager of Xinjiang Longju New Materials Co., Ltd., expressed pride.
In addition to being used to manufacture familiar equipment such as golf clubs, tennis rackets, and bicycle frames, carbon fiber materials are also widely used in important fields such as automotive manufacturing, medical equipment, rail transit, and aerospace. But many people may not have imagined that this "black gold" with a diameter of only one eighth of hair and a strength that can reach 7 to 9 times that of steel may come from the northwest of our country, from the barren Ganquanbao Economic Development Zone more than a decade ago.
The Ganquanbao Economic Development Zone, which has only been established for 11 years, has now gathered 52 large-scale enterprises, 9 national level research and development platforms, 19 high-tech enterprises, and 5 specialized and innovative enterprises, creating modern industrial clusters such as new materials, new energy, high-end equipment manufacturing, energy conservation and environmental protection. The prosperity of the industry has made the high-quality development vitality on this land flow like a spring of stocks.
Walking north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, as far as you can see and as far as you can hear, all are the fruitful results of the modern industrial system construction on this vast land. With the development blueprint of the eight major industrial clusters, including oil and gas production and processing, coal, coal, electricity, and coal chemical industry, green mining, and new energy and materials, Xinjiang is becoming more solid and stable in cultivating and strengthening high-quality development of characteristic and advantageous industries.
The Changji converter station is the source of the Changji Guquan ± 1100 kV ultra-high voltage direct current transmission project, which is known as the "Xinjiang Power Transmission" project. As the only ± 1100 kV ultra-high voltage direct current transmission project in the world, as well as the fourth major channel for "Xinjiang Power Transmission", the Changji Guquan direct current project has four of the world's highest voltage levels, the largest transmission capacity, the farthest transmission distance, and the most advanced technology, which can be said to be unparalleled.
"The voltage level of the Changji Guquan DC project is ± 1100 kV, and the rated power of the project is 12 million kilowatts. This is equivalent to being able to simultaneously light up 400 million 30 watt electric lights." In the words of Wang Hong, the director of the Changji converter station, if the Changji converter station operates at a rated power of 9 million kilowatts, the daily output of electricity is equivalent to transporting 72000 tons of coal. This is equivalent to the amount of coal transported in one day by a truck with a length of 1200 15.5 meters and a load capacity of 60 tons.
Open the Internet search engine and search for information related to "Xinjiang" and "industry". From the results, it is not difficult to see that an industry puzzle with the keyword of "extending the chain, supplementing the chain and strengthening the chain" is becoming more complete and clearer.
At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, at the starting point of the West East Gas Pipeline - Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, the Korla Shangku High tech Industrial Development Zone, covering an area of nearly 100 square kilometers, is thriving.
The annual production of 600000 tons of ethane to ethylene project by PetroChina is currently operating at full capacity. "The natural gas from the West East Gas Pipeline is rich in ethane, and we use it as a raw material to produce ethylene. The energy consumption is reduced by nearly 30% compared to traditional processes, and the product has strong competitiveness in the market." The relevant person in charge of Tarim Petrochemical Branch of PetroChina Dushanzi Petrochemical Company introduced that the good economic benefits have prompted the enterprise to plan to increase investment by more than 20 billion yuan and start the construction of a Phase II ethylene project with an annual output of 1.2 million tons, promoting the realization of "West gas utilization and on-site processing".
Driven by this project, Xinjiang Zhongtai Group, Shaanxi Coal and Chemical Industry Group, and Zhejiang Kuntong Group have flocked to the park to form an integrated refining, chemical, and textile industry cluster, focusing on achieving the transformation from "one cotton", "one drop of oil", and "one side of gas" to "one silk", "one piece of cloth", and "one piece of clothing", continuously transforming Xinjiang's raw material advantages into industrial advantages, and making Bazhou the main battlefield for the development of the petrochemical industry in Xinjiang.
Similarly, in Bazhou, we walked into the 100000 kilowatt photovoltaic power generation project in Yuli County, the first clean energy station for external clean energy supply in Tarim Oilfield that was successfully connected to the grid in March this year. Rows of deep blue solar photovoltaic panels were neatly arranged, and with the help of aerial photography, we could overlook them from a high altitude, as if they were a crystal clear lake embedded in the Gobi Desert.
As of mid September, a total of 65.92 million kilowatt hours of "green electricity" have been produced here, equivalent to 13000 tons of standard oil and 51800 tons of carbon reduction, which can be used by more than 30000 households for one year.
"At present, this photovoltaic power generation project has entered a full capacity and full capacity state after quota debugging." Yang Gang, manager of the Oil and Gas Production Technology Department of Tarim Oilfield, introduced that in August this year, Tarim Oilfield received the first "sunshine" electricity bill, marking the official entry of the oilfield photovoltaic power generation project into the revenue stage.
While fully ensuring clean energy supply to the outside world, Tarim Oilfield is increasing its internal green and clean substitution of new energy. Nearly 20% of the 100 million kilowatt hours of electricity produced is for self use in oil fields, thereby reducing grid load and achieving self production and self use of photovoltaic power generation.
Cheng Duofu, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, introduced to reporters that in the future, Xinjiang will focus on the construction of "eight major industrial clusters", focus on the construction of major industrial projects, coordinate and ensure the supply of important production factors, and promote the security and stability of the industrial chain and supply chain; Efforts will be made to enhance the ability of industrial innovation and development, accelerate the research and development of key core technologies in key areas, and promote the strengthening and extension of the industrial chain; Continuously promoting the digital empowerment of enterprises and promoting the deep integration and development of the digital economy and the real economy.
