Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 162 Turbine Generator Set

The cement factory is located next to the Xujiawan River, not far from the town government and the hollow brick factory.

Li Weidong wanted to keep a low profile and naturally couldn't drive. So he and Li Weimin rode a motorcycle to the hollow brick factory first, and then rode to the cement factory by themselves.

Fang Xuelong stood in front of the office window and waited anxiously. Li Weidong did not allow him to greet him at the door, and he could not let the guard stop him. He could only keep an eye on the door.

Seeing Li Weidong appear at the door, he grabbed the phone and asked the security guard to open the door and let Li Weidong in.

On a hot day, Li Weidong dressed casually, wearing leather sandals, large pants and a white vest.

"Director Li, your outfit is really..." Fang Xuelong looked at Li Weidong's dress and didn't know what to say!

Li Weidong looked down at his clothes and said, "Find me some work clothes and a pair of protective shoes!"

This outfit is really inappropriate. When I go to the workshop, some areas are still under construction. Shoes with toes and large pants are definitely not allowed.

There are not many people in China who are particular about it, but Li Weidong is afraid of problems and cherishes his life very much.

Moreover, as the boss, he cannot take the lead in violating the company's rules!

Fang Xuelong’s office was renovated from the dormitory of the original cement factory, and his dormitory is next to it. The conditions are quite difficult!

After a while, Fang Xuelong came out with a brand new set of blue work clothes and protective shoes, with the name Qiushan Cement Factory printed on them. He didn’t know if they were left over from the past or if they were re-customized.

Li Weidong went to Fang Xuelong's dormitory to change clothes, took a look at his dormitory, and a line came out.

The room is tidy and has no peculiar smell. Either a transvestite or a gay.

I shudder just thinking about it, but Fang Xuelong probably isn't. He has a wife and children.

Li Weidong came out and asked: "Lao Fang, your wife is not coming?"

"Director Li, my wife and children came to play for a few days during the holiday. School is about to start, so we will go back!"

"When the company gets on track, I'll give you a long vacation!" Li Weidong was pleased, as long as the relationship between the couple is good.

As long as there are no problems in the family, it is very common for some investors from Hong Kong Island to raise a wife in the Mainland.

Their monogamy has only been around for about 20 years, and some Hong Kong businessmen in their 40s and 50s still want to reinstate this bad habit.

"Let's go take a look at the site first. Our original plan was to put it into production by the end of the year. Unexpectedly, we encountered this problem and the speed was much faster!" Fang Xuelong handed Li Weidong a safety helmet.

Li Weidong took the helmet and walked outside.

Financial regulation has hit many companies hard, including many cement plants. Their equipment is new, but the original orders did not belong to them!

Some companies that used loans to finance projects have been hit hard this time. Not only are bank loans gone, but even projects that have been launched have been stopped.

Their set of rotary kilns was customized from Japan by a company in AH. The models were the same. The goods had arrived at Hucheng Port and the project was stopped!

In order to repay the loan, it can only be transferred.

They found out that there was a set of equipment that had just been ordered here in Qiushan and was about to be transferred at a low price. After Fang Xuelong learned about it, he reported it to Li Weidong, who immediately agreed.

We only paid a deposit for their set of equipment, and now they are asking for a price that is cheaper than the final payment.

As for that set of equipment, it has been postponed and can be implemented again next year when the second phase is launched!

Li Weidong could only lament his luck. It was amazing that he could encounter this.

Although financial regulation is severe, the development speed has not slowed down much, and it may slow down in half a year at most.

Li Weidong asked: "If the boiler and steam turbine generator set were not delivered so quickly, wouldn't they be difficult to get?"

Fang Xuelong said: "Director Li, this boiler comes from Qizhou Boiler Factory, and the steam turbine generator set is from Daocheng Steam Turbine Factory. We added some money!"

The extra money is not much, it is within his scope of authority, he can just report it afterwards!

"Because the rotary kiln is already in place, if we run it, the waste heat generated will be wasted. We asked the county for help in coordinating it, and of course we spent some money to grab a set from others!"

"Moreover, this is a 10,000kW unit. Although we approved it as 6,000kW, the actual boiler is larger!"

Fang Xuelong saw that Li Weidong was curious about the workers installing the steam turbine and explained.

"How big is the boiler and how big is the generator set?" Although Li Weidong doesn't understand this, he also knows that the capacity difference is quite big. Although he studied mechanics in college, he has also been exposed to electrical things.

"Mr. Li, you said at that time that the unit should be made as large as possible. We inspected the boiler manufacturer and found that the gas output of their boiler can increase the power of the steam turbine to 9.5MW, so we ordered a 10MW steam turbine.

Generator unit!" Fang Xuelong carefully introduced it to Li Weidong.

Although the principles of generators and electric motors can be converted into each other, there are still some differences.

This thing is relatively biased. I have seen many electric motors, but not many generators. A turbine-generator set has a few tens of tons, which is considered a small capacity. Large ones can reach hundreds or thousands of tons.

"Can we add another boiler to this boiler in the future?" Li Weidong said while looking at the arranged pipe gallery. The boiler and the steam turbine generator are not close to each other and are connected through steam pipes in the middle.

Fang Xuelong explained: "Dong Li, I hope that if necessary in the future, we can directly install a boiler. The pipeline can be directly connected to the main pipeline to complete the expansion and transformation. When it is not needed, we can just close the intake valves!"

Their cement clinker production line with a daily output of 1,000 tons can use waste heat to generate electricity of 40,000 to 50,000 kilowatt-hours per day, which can solve about 50% of the self-consumption of electricity for clinker production. This is a considerable profit.

If this 10,000kW unit can generate electricity at full capacity, it can produce more than 200,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity a day, which can not only meet the power needs of their factory, but can also sell half of the electricity to the national grid. The extra money spent can be earned in a month or two.

There is no shortage of coal here. There are several small coal mines in the county. It cannot be said that they can use as much coal as they need. At least they can meet the coal requirements of cement plants.

The county has shares, and selling electricity also generates income, so it will definitely help. As for what to do with the excess electricity, the current domestic situation is that the people's electricity consumption is not guaranteed.

The current power conservation measures in this era are completely opposite to those in later generations. During peak power consumption periods, instead of cutting off power to factories, power is cut off to ordinary people. As for the reason, it is too simple.

Electricity is cheap for ordinary people, and due to national safeguards, electricity for civilian use once only cost a few cents, while for industrial use it ranged from a few cents to more than a dollar.

Factories can create more GDP by using electricity, but ordinary people can only use a light bulb, which consumes a lot of electricity.

In the 1980s and 1990s, it was difficult for residents not only in rural areas but also in cities to have electricity, with frequent power rationing and blackouts.

As long as the power plants supporting the cement plant are connected to the Internet, they will not have to worry about selling them. The electricity bureau will definitely ask you to send more electricity. How much is the on-grid electricity price and how much electricity does the electricity bureau sell? Is this an easy calculation?

In later generations, the power plant approval procedures were decentralized to the provinces. Suddenly, many more power plants were added, which suddenly solved the electricity panic. Instead, the Electricity Bureau restricted the operation of power plants, and the excess electricity was wasted.

"That's a good job!" Li Weidong had supplied parts to these steam turbine generator manufacturers in his previous life, so he knew a little about them and knew how good the power plant's business was.
