Recently, CIMC Enrico, a subsidiary of China International Marine Containers (Group) Co.Ltd(000039) ( China International Marine Containers (Group) Co.Ltd(000039) ), announced that the small LPG tank truck with unloading pump (i.e. "LPG pump truck") developed by its subsidiary Jingmen Hongtu Special Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has passed the technical review of "new materials, new technologies and new processes", and has become one of the first suppliers of two intelligent LPG micro pipe network integration solutions that have passed the review of "three new technologies", It has filled some technical gaps in the field of rural energy cleaning.
Yang Xiaohu, executive director and general manager of CIMC Enrico, said that the application scenarios of intelligent LPG micro pipe network are rich and diverse, which can solve the problem that the majority of rural areas could not use and afford gas in the past. The first batch of three new reviews proved the leading strength of CIMC Enrico as China's leading leader in the whole LPG equipment industry chain.
The LPG pump truck developed by Jingmen Hongtu this time can be used together with small LPG storage tanks to directly fill the small storage tanks with LPG, which is similar to the oil tank truck filling the storage tanks of gas stations. It is an important link in the promotion and implementation of LPG micro pipe network mode in China. The special pump truck passed the three new reviews, marking that the enterprise has become one of the only two suppliers of LPG micro pipe network equipment in China.
The LPG micro pipe network solution aims to serve villages and towns that have not covered the natural gas pipeline network. The system uses a special LPG pump truck to distribute LPG from the centralized LPG storage and distribution station to the small LPG storage tanks in each village. After gasification and pressure regulation, it enters each household through an independent village gas pipeline network, and integrates new technologies such as Internet of things, intelligence and cloud platform in the transportation process, The original gas supply mode of "bottled supply, storage and self custody" has been transformed into the mode of "centralized gas supply, decentralized intelligent micro pipe network and remote online monitoring of enterprises", which has reduced the gas receiving cost of rural users.
Since 2017, Jingmen Hongtu and the mobile pressure vessel sub Technical Committee of the national boiler and pressure vessel Standardization Technical Committee have been committed to the research and development of the microtubule network project. After five years of research and development, Jingmen Hongtu has become one of the first two manufacturers to pass the three new reviews of LPG pump vehicles in China. It is understood that this LPG micro pipe network model is very common in developed countries and regions such as Europe, America and Japan, but China has more strict standards for safe driving of vehicles with pumps, which can only be put into use after passing the three new reviews.
Gas to the countryside is of great practical significance for China to achieve the goals of carbon peak, carbon neutralization and urban-rural integration and development.
The No. 1 document of the No. 1 central document of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on comprehensively promoting rural revitalization and accelerating agricultural and rural modernization in 2021 pointed out that it is necessary to "strengthen the construction of rural public infrastructure, continue to focus on the rural areas, and strive to promote the coverage and extension of public infrastructure to villages and households", and clearly put forward that "promote gas to the countryside, and support the construction of safe and reliable Rural gas storage tank stations and micro pipe network gas supply systems".
According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, the rural population in China in 2021 was 498 million, and the total number of administrative villages in China exceeded Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Co.Ltd(600000) . According to the calculation, the gas storage capacity of one LPG small tank can meet the domestic gas demand of one village in the whole month, and the small tank needs to be used together with LPG pump truck. There is a broad market demand for LPG micro pipe network equipment in villages and towns. Up to now, governments at all levels in 14 provinces and autonomous regions including Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian and Hainan have signed intelligent micro pipe network installation agreements with relevant enterprises, with more than 2.5 million signed users; It is expected that about 20 million LPG smart micro pipe network users will be connected in the next decade.
