In less than a month, the Beijing Winter Olympics will open. Today (January 6), a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily learned from the Information Office of Sinopec that the first hydrogen testing laboratory in China, Sinopec Xiwanzi Hydrogen Testing Laboratory, was officially put into operation in Chongli, Hebei Province.
The laboratory can complete the detection of 13 typical indicators of fuel cell hydrogen, which will provide strong technical support for ensuring the safety and reliability of hydrogen energy quality in the Winter Olympics and help the "Green Winter Olympics".
It is understood that the vehicle hydrogen fuel cell has high requirements for hydrogen quality, and the quality of hydrogen is directly related to the use performance and life of the vehicle. The national standard GB/T 37244-2018 "Hydrogen for Fuel Gas with Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Vehicles", which was implemented in July 2019, requires a hydrogen purity of 99.97%, and has strict regulations and restrictions on the content of 13 impurities such as carbon monoxide and formaldehyde in hydrogen.
Sinopec Xiwanzi Hydrogen Testing Laboratory was established in September 2021, completed acceptance in December 2021, covers an area of about 40 square meters, has 5 sets of professional detection instruments such as meteorological chromatograph and optical cavity decay instrument, from the sampling of hydrogenation guns in the station to the completion of typical index detection, the whole process takes only 2 hours.
At present, the laboratory has the ability to identify and detect impurity molecules in fuel hydrogen. During the construction process, Sinopec Group Corporation and its affiliated Petrochemical Research Institute developed a detection method suitable for trace impurities in high-purity hydrogen, forming a complete 13 impurity analysis methods covering the strict provisions of national standards.
Sinopec Hebei Chongli Xiwanzi Hydrogen Refueling Station is one of the four hydrogen refueling stations serving the Winter Olympics, only 15 kilometers away from the Zhangjiakou Competition Area of the Winter Olympic Games, and is an important transportation hub for entering the competition area. The station has a daily hydrogen supply capacity of 1,000 kilograms and two hydrogen refueling machines, which can simultaneously meet the refueling needs of 35 MPa and 70 MPa hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. During the Winter Olympics, the station will provide services for 35 MPa hydrogen buses, 70 MPa hydrogen minibuses and other Winter Olympic vehicles, as well as logistics trucks, hydrogen sweepers and other hydrogen vehicles.
As the official partner of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Sinopec is committed to providing clean energy to help the "Green Winter Olympics". In March 2020, Yanshan Petrochemical Completed and put into operation the Beijing Winter Olympic Hydrogen New Energy Supply Project, which has supplied more than 260 tons of high-purity hydrogen to Beijing and surrounding markets; in September 2021, it will put into operation 4 hydrogen refueling stations for the Winter Olympics. In November 2020, the "Love Run" series of a new generation of environmentally friendly high-standard gasoline was launched; in October 2021, 30 oil supply stations and 29 LNG refueling stations were laid out in the Beijing Division of the Winter Olympic Games, and 19 oil supply stations were laid out in the Hebei Division to ensure the supply of oil and gas during the Winter Olympic Games. In December 2021, two months in advance, Beijing will fully supply higher quality Beijing 6B gasoline and diesel in Beijing, helping the sky in the capital to be bluer, the water is cleaner, and "clean energy, refueling for the Winter Olympics".
