On June 30, 2021, Jingmen Hongtu, a subsidiary of CIMC Enric, held the shipping ceremony for its first set of LPG ignition skids. This product, an exclusive invention patent and independent intellectual property of Jingmen Hongtu, is the first domestic ignition device for power stations that uses clean LPG fuel, is highly modular, intelligent, and skid-mounted. It features safety, reliability, and environmental friendliness, and is about to depart for Shanghai Port for export to Pakistan, once again contributing to clean energy combined cycle power plant projects in the "Belt and Road" regions!
The LPG ignition skid is a key equipment for an integrated skid-mounted ORC power generation system, encompassing ASME high-strength steel pressure storage tanks, buffer tanks, insulated precision filters, vaporizers, pumping units, and corresponding pipelines, valves and accessories, power distribution, and control systems that meet process requirements. It is safe, reliable, compactly structured, easy to transport, convenient to install, and simple to maintain. It can reduce the occupied area by about 10%-15% and shorten the construction period of the client's power station, offering advantages such as cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Its technology, process, and control requirements are more complex compared to other LPG equipment, earning it the reputation as the "jewel in the crown" of the LPG equipment manufacturing industry.
The opportunity for cooperation on this LPG ignition skid export project to Pakistan originated from a friendly interaction in June 2020 between senior management of CIMC Enric Holdings and Shanghai Feiao (jointly invested by Shanghai Aerospace Energy Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, and FIO Group of Italy). Under the attention of senior management from both sides, after 6 months of technical exchanges and business interactions, both parties successfully signed the contract in January 2021. Since the project's inception, Mr. Zheng Zhijun, General Manager of Jingmen Hongtu, has led teams for multiple inspections, setting high standards and strict requirements, ensuring clear division of labor, and implementing effective performance incentives. Ultimately, with the joint efforts of all departments, the product was delivered on time with guaranteed quality and quantity.
As a high-end clean energy equipment supplier in China that integrates production, education, and research, providing core storage, transportation, and sales special devices for customers across the upstream, midstream, and downstream segments of the LPG industrial chain, Jingmen Hongtu had actually successfully secured an EPC order for 3 sets of LPG skid-mounted power stations from a Ghanaian client as early as December 2015. It delivered 19 skids with high quality, helping the client solve the challenge of meeting skid-mounted requirements throughout the entire process, from LPG receiving at the dock, to land transportation, then to power station unloading, storage, vaporization, transfer, pressure regulation, metering, and finally connection to the gas turbine inlet. This was Jingmen Hongtu's first overseas LPG power generation system EPC project.

The Ghana LPG skid-mounted power station project successfully commenced power generation and grid connection in 2017. It helped the client earn the crucial "first bucket of gold" on their journey of clean energy power generation and laid a solid foundation for the company's subsequent successful cooperation with the client on a natural gas long-distance pipeline EPC project worth over 400 million yuan.

Targeting the market demand for green, intelligent, and clean energy equipment, and continuously increasing investment in technology research and development, Mr. Zheng Zhijun, the company's General Manager, has repeatedly emphasized in internal meetings that Hongtu should always prioritize safety and reliability, and apply more human-centric technologies such as intelligence and digitalization to its products, making new and greater contributions to the promotion and application of clean energy for the nation and the world.
The successful R&D and delivery of this LPG ignition skid exported to Pakistan is another vivid manifestation of Jingmen Hongtu's "One Body, Two Wings: Technology Leadership, Green Intelligence" development strategy!
