With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the demand for power batteries continues to be strong, the growth of energy storage batteries is broad, the production of upstream lithium materials has entered the era of "large expansion and large manufacturing", and higher requirements have been put forward for production quality and efficiency, and the transformation and upgrading of automation and intelligence has become the key to shaping sustainable competitiveness of lithium materials enterprises.
In recent years, SCIYON has closely followed the national "double carbon" strategy, seized the "green" opportunity, and vigorously developed the smart lithium battery market. It has successively won the bid for the 110,000 tons nano lithium iron phosphate project of De Fangyiwei, and 50,000 tons/year iron phosphate and supporting projects of Shandong Lithium Source Technology Co., LTD. At the beginning of the New Year in 2023, SCIYON once again won the bid for the annual output of 150,000 tons of negative electrode material project of Ningxia Baofeng Energy Storage Materials Co., LTD., and helped Baofeng Energy storage build a demonstration of the whole industrial chain of lithium-ion energy storage with a fully autonomous controllable DCS system.
Graphite negative material is one of the important materials of lithium battery. Baofeng Energy Storage artificial graphite negative material project takes needle coke, petroleum coke and asphalt extended by Baofeng Energy chemical industry chain as raw materials to build a high-end lithium ion battery negative material project integrating production, science and research. The construction of an annual output of 150,000 tons of artificial graphite will fill the market gap to a certain extent, meet the development needs of downstream industries, increase the supply of important production materials in downstream industries, and alleviate the production bottleneck pressure caused by insufficient shipments of important raw materials. And comply with the national policy guidance, for new energy vehicles, energy storage batteries and other countries to encourage the development of the industry to assume a certain degree of social responsibility.
The project has a wide range of controlled objects, high automation requirements, difficulty and tight construction period. Covering raw material pretreatment, air compressor station and circulating water, crushing, pre-carbonization, graphitization, coating, high temperature carbonization, secondary coating, finished product workshop and other sections. Among them, the DCS system includes 8 control domains, 500+ surface cabinets, 100+ operating stations, with a total of more than 100,000 control points.
SCIYON will rely on its professional and rich experience in the field of smart lithium battery delivery services, and through the deployment and application of fully autonomous controllable DCS system, help the project realize the automatic control and intelligent management of the whole process, and escort the upstream and downstream cooperation of Baofeng Energy storage industry chain with safer, more efficient and more stable "intelligent manufacturing" production. Work together to build a new demonstration of automation and intelligent transformation and upgrading of the lithium battery material industry chain in the era of Industry 4.0.
The bid is another practice of SCIYON focusing on the new energy track and leading the development of new industries. Up to now, the company has accumulated rich application achievements in the subdivision fields of lithium iron phosphate anode materials, negative electrode materials, electrolyte, diaphragm materials and other lithium battery materials industry chain, which can meet the needs of intelligent manufacturing in multiple fields of the lithium battery industry chain. In the future, SCIYON will take advantage of the trend, quickly integrate into the market, open up the situation, continuously improve the depth and competitiveness of smart lithium battery business, and contribute more SCIYON strength to the transformation and upgrading of the lithium battery material industry chain and the green development of innovation and empowerment.
