Recently, China Kunlun Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Kunlun Engineering") announced that the ZCP13 cationic polyester unit of Xin Fengming Group Zhonghong has been successfully in operation for more than a month since its commissioning on March 30th. During this period, the unit has operated steadily, and all product indicators have met the standards.The ZCP13 cationic polyester project of Xin Fengming Group, undertaken by the headquarters of China Kunlun Engineering Co., Ltd., with the participation of three branch companies in Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Liaojin. The successful commissioning of this facility marks another 'national heavy weapon' in China's high-end fiber materials field.As a benchmark project for the domestic production of 250,000 tons of fiber-grade cationic modified polyester annually, the Zhonghong ZCP13 facility bears the strategic mission of promoting the upgrade of new textile materials. The production process of cationic polyester is complex and requires precise control of reactions such as esterification and polycondensation under high temperature and pressure conditions. The facility includes 5 reactors and over 200 dynamic and static equipment pieces, with a pipeline system that crisscrosses throughout, making the design challenging.Facing the extremely tight overall project schedule requirements, the Shenyang branch team met the challenge with a "starting at full speed" attitude. They had to complete the design of the entire 23,000-meter high-pressure piping system for the facility during the design phase from February to September 2024, covering three core sections: esterification, pre-polycondensation, and final polycondensation. This is equivalent to completing 120% of the work in only 60% of the time typically required for a regular project.In early spring February 2024, a race against time has quietly begun in Shenyang. The Shenyang branch has formed a cross-departmental task force, breaking down the design tasks into three major battles: optimizing process pipelines, building 3D models, and accurately reporting materials. The design team creatively adopted a "rolling delivery" model, dividing the 23,000 meters of pressure pipelines into five layers for simultaneous advancement, and dynamically matching the 3D model with the construction progress through PDMS software.The project has entered "wartime mode": The equipment pipeline system is divided into three sections: process main flow, utility engineering, and thermal media engineering. Using a "modular design + phased delivery" strategy, it achieves efficient collaboration through batch submission of drawings, segmented material procurement, and interspersed construction progress.With the "5+2" and "white plus black" fighting spirit, the project team completed all 2,800 drawings on schedule and delivered them in batches. The materials list for 23,000 meters of piping was also submitted for procurement on time and in batches, securing valuable time for on-site construction.At the construction site, the "Kunlun speed" is also being demonstrated. In response to the challenges of limited space within the building and frequent cross-operation tasks, the design team has deployed one key member to be stationed on-site constantly, while other members provide timely support. They carry out daily clearance and settlement-style对接with the construction team, assisting in solving technical issues such as pipeline collision and support positioning to ensure the project is implemented with zero errors.As a model project of CNPC's "integration" strategy, the ZCP13 facility fully demonstrates the efficiency and advantages of group operations. The Shenyang Branch Pipe Specialty collaborated closely with relevant specialties such as process, structure, equipment, automation control, and electrical at the headquarters, as well as LiaoYang and LiaoJin branches, timely resolving key issues such as interface demarcation. In optimizing the layout of the facility core area, experts from the headquarters personally guided the project team on-site, ensuring the core issues were addressed.More notably, the project全程 applied the digital delivery platform independently developed by Kunlun Engineering, achieving project cycle management for the pipeline component library and stress calculation models. This not only ensured the project schedule but also established replicable standardized operating procedures, saving at least 30% of design hours for subsequent similar projects.The successful commissioning of the ZCP13 facility is another milestone in Kunlun Engineering's mission to serve the country through technology, pulsating with the strong heartbeat of the ethnic fiber industry's upward advancement. In the future, this team, which excels in tough battles and dares to forge new paths, will continue to compose new chapters of glory on new "battlefields" with their craftsmanship and wisdom.The High-End Polyester New Materials Industry Chain Forum will be held in Hangzhou on April 25, 2025. The conference is hosted by Asia Chemical Consulting and will explore various high-end polyester new materials and their key raw materials' industrial policies and market trends, the latest technologies and commercialization progress, the cost and environmental competitiveness of different route technologies using chemical methods and bio-based methods, investment in new projects, upstream and downstream integration, performance and competitiveness comparison of high-end polyester new material products, and development of high-end downstream applications. Leaders and experts from China Kunlun Engineering Co., Ltd. will attend and give keynote reports.

With the acceleration of urbanization, the issue of mixed waste generated from decoration activities has become increasingly prominent. This waste is vast in quantity and complex in composition, and improper handling can have severe environmental impacts. However, the emergence of screening and resource sorting production lines for renovation mixed waste provides an innovative solution to this problem, leading a green revolution.The mixed construction waste contains various materials such as wood, metal, and plastic. Traditional landfill or incineration methods not only waste resources but may also pollute the soil, groundwater, and atmosphere. The goal of the resource recycling sorting line is to transform this waste into valuable resources that can be reused.On this highly efficient production line, construction waste first goes through a pre-treatment stage, where large crushers break down bulky waste into smaller particles, facilitating subsequent processing. Then, magnetic separation equipment isolates ferromagnetic metals, which directly enter the steel production cycle. According to the Color Masterbatch Industry Network, this process not only increases the resource recovery rate but also reduces the difficulty of waste handling.Next is the screening process, where garbage is separated into components of different sizes using screens with varying apertures. Coarse materials such as bricks and ceramic fragments can be further processed into recycled bricks and recycled aggregates; fine materials such as plastics and paper are further separated through methods like air classification and density separation. Air classification technology can lift lightweight plastic particles and paper, and then electrostatic separation is used to sort plastics with different conductivity levels, ensuring precise resource recovery.The separated plastic is cleaned and crushed to produce recycled plastic pellets, which are used to manufacture various plastic products; paper and fabric are compressed and baled, serving as raw materials for papermaking or industrial wiping cloths. The entire production line employs an automated control system, using intelligent sensors and data analysis to monitor the operational status in real-time, ensuring optimal sorting efficiency and effectiveness.This production line has not only brought significant environmental benefits, reducing landfill waste and greenhouse gas emissions, and improving air quality, but also generated economic benefits for the enterprise. The recycling of metals, plastics, and other resources has lowered raw material procurement costs, and government support policies have provided the enterprise with subsidies and tax incentives.Meanwhile, the promotion and application of this production line have also raised public awareness of environmental protection. Communities and construction sites are more actively cooperating in the sorting, collection, and transportation of waste, fostering a positive environmental atmosphere. The screening, processing, and resource-sorting production line for mixed renovation waste has become a crucial pillar for urban green development, guiding us toward a more sustainable future.

The report stated that the U.S.'s aggressive tariff policies would increase inflation and unemployment rates, hinder economic growth, and elevate the risk of a recession. Goldman Sachs noted that "a sharp deterioration in household and business confidence, as well as remarks from White House officials indicating a greater willingness to tolerate short-term economic weakness to achieve policy goals," contributed to the upward revision of the recession probability. Following the implementation of President Trump's tariff policies, the U.S. economy would face broad negative impacts, with "the risks posed by tariff policies being greater than many market participants anticipated." Goldman Sachs also predicted that the average U.S. tariff rate would rise by 15 percentage points this year, 5 percentage points higher than previously expected. Higher tariff levels could keep inflation persistently elevated. The firm projected that by the end of this year, the year-on-year increase in the U.S. core CPI would reach 3.5%, significantly higher than the previous forecast of 2.8% and the Federal Reserve's 2% target. By then, the U.S. unemployment rate is expected to climb to 4.5%."U.S. Commerce Secretary urges companies to increase investments, American chip funding at a standstill."知情 sources say that U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has hinted he may reject promised Chips Act funding, as he is pushing companies eligible for federal semiconductor subsidies to significantly expand their investment projects in the U.S. Those familiar with the matter say Lutnick wants companies receiving incentives under the Chips Act to follow the footsteps of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., which recently announced it would invest an additional $100 billion at its U.S. facilities. Lutnick’s goal is to secure hundreds of billions of dollars in semiconductor investment commitments without increasing the scale of federal grants."Vietnam Officially Reduces Import Tariffs on Cars, Agricultural Products, and More"Vietnam has announced a reduction in import tariffs on a range of products, including liquefied natural gas and automobiles, with the tariff cuts taking effect on Monday.

The Secret to Car Shielding Film Blowing Process: Material Selection and Operation Are Key!In the field of automotive maintenance, the process of blowing car masking film is considered an art, as it directly affects the masking effect and user experience. So, how to choose the right film material, and how to operate it correctly? This article will guide you through it step by step.1. Automotive遮蔽膜吹膜材料大比拼There are various types of blown materials for automotive masking films, each with its own advantages. PVC film is weather-resistant and flexible, making it suitable for everyday use and rainy days. Aluminum-based film is scratch-resistant and corrosion-resistant; although more expensive, it is aesthetically pleasing and durable, making it the top choice for interior use. PP film is impact-resistant and anti-aging, with a lower cost, but its weather resistance is slightly inferior. PU film combines anti-aging and scratch resistance, making it suitable for high-impact scenarios. The choice should be based on specific needs.II. Comprehensive Analysis of the Blown Film Process for Automotive Masking FilmsTo blow-mold an automotive masking film, first prepare the materials and ensure the surface is clean and free of scratches. Next, heat the material to the appropriate temperature. During the blowing process, apply even airflow and control the wind intensity to prevent deformation or damage. Once the blowing is complete, cut the material to the desired size and secure it with strong adhesive or hot glue.It is understood that during the blowing process, temperature control is crucial, as both excessively high or low temperatures can affect the film-blowing effect. Meanwhile, the blowing method also requires attention, ensuring it is even and slow to avoid localized overheating or excessive wind force.Third, Strictly Enforce Quality Inspection StandardsAfter the automotive shading film is completed, quality inspection cannot be taken lightly. Surface smoothness, dimensional accuracy, weather resistance, tensile strength, and other factors must be tested one by one to ensure that the shading film meets design requirements and can perform stably in actual use.IV. Matters Needing Attention Must Be RememberedWhen selecting blow-molding materials, it is necessary to determine them based on the usage scenario and requirements; during the blowing process, temperature must be strictly controlled, and even blowing wind must be ensured; after blowing, a complete quality inspection must be carried out. Only in this way can the blowing effect of the car遮蔽膜 achieve the best results, providing better protection and maintenance services for your car. Note: The term "遮蔽膜" was not fully translated as it seems to refer to a specific type of car protective film. In the context of car care, it likely refers to a "car protective film" or "car cover film."In summary, the blowing process of automotive masking film is not complicated, but every step requires careful attention. By selecting the right materials, employing scientific production techniques, and conducting rigorous quality inspections, we can certainly create high-quality automotive masking film, adding a touch of beauty to our beloved cars.
