Xu Chengen (1927.1.21-). Refining process design expert. A native of Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province. Xu Chengen was born in Zilang, Yingdian Street, Zhuji, a small village crawling among torreya bushes. He entered a rural school at the age of 6. Most of the teachers in the school had only a few years of experience in private schools. The same kind of constant cram-feeding made him feel tired and bored.
In 1938, with the encouragement of his family, Xu Chengen embarked on the road to study in a foreign country.
In May 1939, Xu Chengen was finally admitted to the United Middle School in Lishui County, southern Zhejiang.
In the first half of 1942, the Japanese army captured Lishui City, and all the teachers and students of the school moved to a large mountain in Nantian Township, Qingtian County (today's Wencheng County). Xu Chengen's high school life was spent in this way accompanied by the howling mountain wind. Although the threats of cold, hunger, mosquitoes, disease and war were as constant as shadows, learning was never interrupted for a moment.
In the early autumn of 1945, Japan was defeated and surrendered. Xu Chengen, who graduated from high school, was officially admitted to the Department of Chemical Engineering of Zhejiang University.
In May 1949, 22-year-old Xu Chengen graduated from university. With the dream of building a new China, Xu Chengen came to Northeast China and embarked on the road of research and development of petrochemical industry technology.
In 1949, Xu Chengen, who had just graduated from university, signed up to work at the Jinzhou Synthetic Oil Factory in Northeast China. Due to his excellent work, after the Jinzhou Synthetic Oil Factory was operating normally, Xu Chengen was quickly transferred to the Northeast Petroleum Administration Bureau to work Design management work.
In May 1953, because of his outstanding work, he entered the Design Bureau of the Petroleum Administration of the Ministry of Fuel Industry of China, and his engineering design career of more than 50 years began...
1959 , the discovery of the Daqing Oilfield, which has an oil-bearing area of 865 square kilometers, changed the world's understanding of China's "oil poverty". After three years of hard work by oil workers, by 1963 the Daqing Oilfield had become a large oilfield with an annual output of 6 million tons of crude oil. The production capacity of Daqing Oilfield is equivalent to three times the total oil production of old China in the past 44 years. As rich black oil is continuously dug out of the ground, new problems have emerged in front of oil workers. "The oil produced in Daqing Oilfield contains a lot of wax, and the refining diesel has a high freezing point. The weather in the north is cold, so this kind of diesel is difficult to use. Dewaxing and lowering the freezing point of diesel became our most important task at that time." Xu Chengen took the initiative to take on this task A difficult task. What I face all day long are winding pipe corridors and drawings that must be accurate to the millimeter. I fail again and again, find problems again and again, and test again and again. The hardships and difficulties involved are far beyond what ordinary people can bear. The scope and three years may not be a long time for many people, but these short three years have turned Xu Chengen's hair gray. Xu Chengen was only 38 years old this year. Xu Chengen
In 1965, the urea dewaxing device was finally successfully designed under much expectation. It removed the paraffin component in crude oil through chemical reaction, which played a positive role in using Daqing crude oil to provide fuel for aviation and alpine areas. . Later oil workers affectionately called it and the other four self-designed refining units the "Five Golden Flowers" in the oil industry. Xu Chengen also established his position in China's oil industry.
From the late 1960s to the 1970s, Xu Chengen, as the chief engineer of the Beijing Design Institute, presided over the review and approval of the design work of the Yanhua Refinery and the Foreign Aid Refinery.
In 1980, Xu Chengen, who had become the dean of Beijing Design Institute at that time, proposed that "Beijing Design Institute should transform from domestic design to international type, from single refining design to petrochemical type, from pure design to Transformation into an engineering contracting company. His design enabled the Fujian Refinery to achieve centralized control of the entire plant and densely arranged equipment for the first time in China, eliminating the old design patterns of large pipeline corridors, large roads, and large factory front areas. Facts have proved that he was right. He also withstood pressure from all parties, and based on the overall situation of Sinopec's construction, he changed the design procedure from "first above ground, then underground" to "first underground, then above ground", speeding up the progress of the project.
In the "gasoline reforming" research battle, Xu Chengen, as the leader of the research team, worked with relevant units for 9 years to solve key problems. Not only did he successfully develop the methyl tert-butyl ether process and design the device, he also succeeded It has promoted the replacement of catalytic reforming catalysts and the improvement of gasoline demercaptanization process, further narrowing the gap with the international advanced level.

Personal Achievements of Chairman of Beijing Petroleum Society
In August 1949, he was ordered to go to Jinzhou Synthetic Plant (China’s first coal refinery plant , now Jinzhou Petrochemical Company) participated in the restoration and construction of the plant. After two years of hard work, the oil was successfully produced, making an important contribution to New China, which was in very short supply of oil at that time.
In 1953, the General Administration of Petroleum was transferred to engage in design work. From the late 1950s to the mid-1960s, the successful development of the Daqing Oilfield brought my country's oil refining industry into a period of development. As the backbone of design technology, he has participated in the design and review of more than 20 sets of various types of refining process units in four large refineries including Daqing, including the first propane deasphalting and urea dewaxing units designed in China.

From the mid-1960s to the late 1970s, he presided over the review and approval of a number of designs for large-scale refineries such as Dongfang Refinery, Albanian Barsh Refinery, and Korean Lobi Refinery. In terms of process flow, technical solutions, etc. On major key issues, it has played a checkpoint role.
In the late 1970s, we organized and guided the technical research of a number of major projects and achieved breakthrough results. The Shanghai Refinery Energy Saving Technology Transformation Atmospheric and Vacuum Unit and the Daqing Atmospheric Pressure Residual Catalytic Cracking Technology both won the first prize for national scientific and technological progress. In the technical research projects of catalytic reforming, MTBE units, etc., they have played an important role in improving domestic gasoline. quality and aromatics production.
In 1989, he was awarded the title of the first batch of Chinese Engineering Construction Design Masters by the Ministry of Construction.
In 1990, he was awarded the title of Science and Technology and Management Expert with Outstanding Contributions by Sinopec Corporation.

"Act within our capabilities and make scientific demonstrations; select projects based on enriching the people; opening up the economy is imperative; ecological protection is the top priority; sustainable development relies on talents."
This is the 40-word motto for the development of Hainan's petrochemical industry that 78-year-old Academician Xu Chengen, a well-known expert in refining technology in China, left at the end of his report on the morning of December 12, 2005. Character evaluation
He has silver hair and a resolute and kind face, revealing his experience in many battles. He is not only a scholar with profound knowledge, profound foundation and rich experience, but also an approachable, approachable, respectable and noble mentor. Former chief engineer Li Changzhen, who had worked with him for many years, summed up: "Dean Xu is a typical expert leader." In 1949, after graduating from university at the age of 22, he devoted himself enthusiastically to the petrochemical construction industry of the motherland. Soon, he became a leader among refinery designers. He once served as the director of the process office of China's first petroleum refining design institute established in 1953. Since the 1960s, he has successively served as the chief engineer, president, and director of the technical committee of the institute. He also serves as the executive director of the China Petroleum Institute and the chairman of the Beijing Petroleum Institute. He is currently the director of the Expert Committee of Sinopec Engineering and Construction Company. For more than half a century, he has participated in and guided many design and scientific research projects. Among the projects he was directly responsible for and participated in, two results won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, one won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, and some Won other major national awards. But when applying for awards, he always thinks of others first and never writes his own name on the list of winners. He has no regrets about this. This spirit of dedication, integrity, and selfless dedication has deeply impressed many leading cadres and employees. He was named a national expert with outstanding contributions, was awarded the title of Advanced Scientific and Technological Worker by the China Science and Technology Conference and the Beijing Science and Technology Commission, and was awarded the title of Best Chairman by the Beijing Association for Science and Technology.
In his report, Xu Chengen looked forward to the development trend of the global petrochemical industry: the growth in demand for petrochemical products is much greater than the growth in demand for oil products; the general trend of rising oil prices cannot be changed, and the cost of petrochemical products will inevitably rise. The demand for propylene is growing faster than that of ethylene, and various new technologies to increase propylene production have received attention; natural gas chemical industry and coal chemical industry will quietly rise.
Based on Hainan’s actual situation, Xu Chengen said that under the trend of economic globalization, Hainan Province’s location advantages have brought great development opportunities to Hainan’s petrochemical industry construction, because this location advantage can be converted into resources advantages and market advantages, so it is necessary to moderately develop the petrochemical industry in Hainan Province. And Hainan already has a certain foundation for development. Academician Xu Chengen gave a systematic explanation of his 40-word motto.
He said that in developing the petrochemical industry, the first principle that needs to be followed is to act within one's ability and to demonstrate scientifically. Many regions and cities have suffered failures in the development of the petrochemical industry because they did not do this well.
The second principle is "project selection based on enriching the people." Xu Chengen believes that the development of the petrochemical industry should not only focus on projects with high added value but unable to extend the industrial chain, but should try to develop projects that can lengthen the industrial chain, drive the development of downstream industries, and create employment opportunities for many people.
Xu Chengen’s explanation for his own principle of “opening up the economy is imperative” is that today, when resources, capital, and technology can be globalized, the market will also face globalization issues accordingly. We We have to deal with the world's largest companies. This requires us to develop enterprises with a high starting point, high level, high quality and high efficiency.
After listening to the various measures taken by many Hainan provincial leaders to protect the ecology in the past few days, Xu Chengen expressed his belief that Hainan will do a good job in the principle of "ecological protection is the top priority."
"Sustainable development relies on talents." Xu Chengen said this the most. Xu Chengen said that in the sustainable development report of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, five support systems in each province were measured. Among them, Hainan ranks fourth from the bottom in the country for "intellectual support". The development of the petrochemical industry must rely on talents, and the development of enterprises cannot follow the old path of the past and continuously introduce new talents. It is necessary to carry out relevant research and development immediately after introducing a set of advanced equipment. In a few years, not only will it no longer be introduced, but related technologies can also be exported.
"Hainan's intellectual support system is still weak and must be strengthened. We must pay attention to talents, cultivate talents, introduce talents, and retain talents." Xu Chengen said.
