With the effective control of the COVID-19 epidemic in China, the total market demand has gradually picked up. As of April 21, 178 of the 191 (nearly 93.2%) enterprises monitored by the China Iron & Steel Association were back in production. The release of iron and steel capacity has been accelerated with a significant increase in the production. As a result, the demand for the ...

As of April 21, about 99% of China's sizable industrial enterprises under the close monitoring of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) had returned to normal operational orders under the Chinese authorities' persistent efforts in aiding with such enterprises in resuming businesses from the suspension of the COVID-19, according to the MIIT sharing on Apri...

In practical industrial applications, adsorptive separation processes can be generally divided into pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and thermal swing adsorption (TSA). It can be seen from the sorption isotherm of the adsorbent that the adsorbent has a higher adsorption capacity for impurities at high pressure or otherwise lower. At the same time,  the adsorption isobar shows the fact...

Blast furnace capacity utilization among the 247 Chinese steelmakers using blast furnaces recovered further over March 13-19 to 75.26%, a latest survey released on March 13 showed. The rate was up by 1.36 percentage point on week as more China’s steel mills beefed up operations over the period.   The sampled makers' daily molten iron output also grew over the period, rising by 38...

Up to now, China has been fighting against the epidemic for over two months during which people from various industries united, responded quickly and acted effectively, and the worst situation is believed to be over. In this severe battle, responding to the call of the CPC Central Committee, the Party branch of PKU Pioneer along with the employees bravely took the responsibility of vi...

Given that enterprises in low-risk areas of the 2019-nCoV epidemic have gradually resumed production, PKU PIONEER actively responded to our customer's requirements, and has deployed a team to install and debug the equipment for the end user. Pioneer distributed masks, disinfectants and other materials to workers who're operating with masks and abiding by the prevention regulations st...

1. Fifth Collaboration for Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development In January 2020, a project agreement of the VPSA oxygen plant (6,000Nm3/h,85%) with Baotou Huading Copper Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Huading Copper) was successfully signed. Pioneer will equip the oxygen system for oxygen-enriched side-blowing furnace for the recycling proje...

Since the beginning of 2020,  the novel coronavirus has been spreading at a speed and a battle to beat the virus-infected pneumonia has begun throughout the country. on February 1, 2020, leaders of Pioneer responded timely and urged an "Important Notice on the Pneumonia-Causing Epidemic Prevention and Control" to all the employees. A special working group on the 2019-nCoV epidemi...

In January 2020, the second oxygen production project undertaken by Beijing Peking University Pioneer Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Pioneer) for Fangda Special Steel Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Fangda Special Steel) was formally put into construction and the equipment procurement has been activated currently. This is the second set of VP...

Vacuum pressure swing adsorption units are used to produce oxygen at purities between 80%-94%. The technical principle is to separate the oxygen in the air utilizing the different selectivity of adsorbents for oxygen and nitrogen. Units using this type of non-cryogenic oxygen production process may be referred to as VPSA (Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption), VSA (Vacuum Swing Adsorp...
