Chapter 169: Synthetic Ammonia Plant

In fact, Eder rushed to Ploiesti early the next morning after receiving the news that the ammonia plant was completed and started, and arrived at the ammonia plant at noon.

In fact, the synthetic ammonia plant is right next to the oil refinery. It is only separated from the oil refinery by a wall, mainly to utilize the waste gas produced by the oil refining, which is also one of the raw materials for synthetic ammonia. There is also the associated natural gas produced by the exploitation of crude oil, which can also be used as a raw material for synthetic ammonia, which was considered when building a synthetic ammonia plant before.

After receiving the news that Edel rushed to the ammonia plant without stopping, a group of factory managers headed by the factory director Veloseff rushed to the door to welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness welcomes you."

After seeing the arrival of the Crown Prince, the factory manager of Willowsev quickly led a group of factory personnel to greet His Royal Highness.

Edel got out of the car and looked at the factory director of Willowsev in front of him. He knew the person in front of him. He studied abroad at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the best chemical university in Germany, and achieved good results. Later, he was appointed as the deputy director of technology in the Fokshani Chemical Plant (a chemical plant built with German loans). During this period, he Edel's efforts to improve the utilization rate of potassium salts in chemical plants were seen by Edel, so he was appointed as the director of the synthetic ammonia plant.

Edel said to the factory director of Willowsev. "Let's go in and see."

The world's first synthetic ammonia plant built in Germany in October last year can produce 30 tons of ammonia per day, while Romania, a plant twice as large as Germany, needs to import low-carbon low-carbon equipment that can withstand 200 atmospheres of pressure from Germany. Steel equipment, so it was queued behind, so it was dragged to the present.

"Your Highness, this is our raw material compressor."

The factory director of Willowsev pointed to the compressor in front of him and explained the workflow to Crown Prince Eder. "This is taking a small amount of natural gas through the compressor to 4MPA, and then mixing in a small amount of syngas to heat it into the hydrogenation reactor."

Edel listened to the explanation of the factory director of Willowsev with great interest. In fact, he had left this chemical knowledge behind, but it did not affect his knowledge that ammonia synthesis had a significant impact on the development of the entire chemical process. Impact. And now synthetic ammonia can also improve Romania's crop yield, which has a great effect on Romania.

The director of Willowsev took the Crown Prince Eder all the way to explain a series of chemical terminology such as reformer, high-temperature converter, carbon dioxide absorption tower, etc., which made Eder's head fascinated. However, in order to show his importance to the synthetic ammonia plant, he still made a serious expression and endured the bombardment of various professional chemical terms.

After finally arriving under the ammonia synthesis tower, the last site of the visit, here the director of the Velosev finished the whole process, and Eder also saw the employees here transporting pressure-resistant steel cylinders filled with liquid ammonia one by one. Seeing the current scene, Edel is very satisfied, and it is worthwhile to work hard for it.

"How much ammonia can be produced per day now?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Edel asked about the output that he was concerned about.

"His Royal Highness, because we have just started production, we can only produce 42 tons per day. But as long as you give me four months, I will make the factory reach the designed output."

After the factory director of Willowsev said the current production capacity, he did not forget to make a guarantee to Edel.

"Director of Willowsev, you need to recruit more workers."

After hearing the assurances from the factory director of Willowsev, Edel told him about his plan. "We have more than one synthetic ammonia plant, and the current production capacity is completely unable to meet Romania's needs. So you need to train more ammonia workers for Romania. I predict that within three years, the scale of Romania's synthetic ammonia will need to double ten times to basically meet Romania's needs. "

After hearing the words of the crown prince, the factory director of Willowsev was very excited. Although he will split the construction of the synthetic ammonia plant, but relying on Ploiesti's rich oil and natural gas resources, he can be sure that at least half of the new production capacity will fall on his own head.

In this way, he can be called the godfather of chemical industry in Romania. This is an irresistible temptation for Willosev, who has been specializing in chemical research.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will make the current employees familiar with the work in their hands as soon as possible, and then recruit new workers. I will never leave the new factory without skilled workers and management."

Looking at Willosev who was emotionally in front of him, Edel decided to tell him about the chemical knowledge he still had some impressions of. "Director of Velosev, you can't just do the ammonia synthesis process, you also need to explore more about the use of ammonia. I think there is still a possibility to improve the current ammonia fertilizer. Maybe the synthesis reaction of ammonia and other chemical raw materials can allow us to get better results. Too much fertilizer, like carbon dioxide, etc..."

After Edel said that he had little chemical knowledge, he refused the request of the factory director of Willowsev to have lunch at the factory. It's not that he can't eat at the factory anymore, because he wants to meet Mayor Dorel, who is now Ploiesti.

The mayor of Dorrell took over after Karatuuri was transferred to Bucharest, but he has done a good job of growing Ploiesti from the fifth largest city when he took over (187,648 people) to the third largest now. city ​​(275,611 people). The top two cities in Romania are Bucharest (787,067 people) and Constanta (578,101 people), from which we can see the population flow brought about by Romania's industrialization.

Although Ploiesti has a good petrochemical industry and machinery manufacturing industry, these two industries strongly supported by the Romanian government, it cannot deny the performance of his ability. The most direct evidence is that the per capita annual income of Ploiesti is now The 698 lei when he took over has grown to 884 lei now. It has increased by 26%, ranking among the top four in all counties and cities in Romania, and can be regarded as an official with quite good ability.

Of course Edel likes this kind of capable officials. He can't wait to have such capable people under his command, and he can rest assured. In fact, the selection of Romanian officials is not bad now, which is still thanks to the memory of Eder's previous life. In that era, various civil service examinations and the systematic training of administrative schools sent too many talents to the country.

Now Romania is gradually improving in this regard under the influence of Crown Prince Eder. Among them, Romania's latest government official assessment includes the assessment of the local gross national product and per capita income. Moreover, Romania also started the civil service examination last year to attract a large number of aspiring young people to join the government, just because these people are still at the bottom and can't see the effect, but with the passage of time, those old-fashioned officials will be replaced sooner or later.

Moreover, Edel plans to set up an administrative academy next year so that these new government recruits can be trained more to improve the government's executive power. Allow the government to better coordinate Romania's resources, so that the territories captured after World War I can be better integrated into Romania.

"His Royal Highness has arrived at the City Hall, and Mayor Dorell is waiting at the door with the city officials."

A report interrupted Edel's thoughts.

Edel, who was sitting in the car, said to the guard who reminded him outside the car. "I know, I'll come out."

"I have seen Your Highness."

Seeing the crown prince walking out of the car door, Mayor Dorrell brought key government officials to greet him.

Looking at the officials in Ploiesti who were saluting towards him, Edel waved and told them. "Okay, let's go in."

After speaking, Edel walked to Mayor Dorel, who led him into the city hall.

"Welcome, Your Highness, to visit Ploiesti."

After leading Edel into City Hall, Mayor Dorrell made a welcome remark. In fact, apart from staying in the capital Bucharest, Eder has gone to Constanta the most, and has rarely visited Ploiesti, the third largest city, after being transferred from Karatuli.

"I am very satisfied with the development of Ploiesti. In just four years, your population has increased by nearly 100,000, and the per capita income has also increased by a quarter. These are inseparable from the results of your efforts, I I would like to express my gratitude to all of you and hope that Ploiesti will develop even better in the days to come."

As the words of Crown Prince Eder fell, all the officials present had excited expressions on their faces. They feel the goodwill from the crown prince, and believe that as long as they do not make big mistakes, they will have good development in the future.

After seeing the expressions of the officials in front of him, Edel continued. "Of course, we will not forget the meritorious officials."

At this time, Edel took out a Royal Knight Medal from his pocket and told Mayor Dorel. "This Knight Medal is to recognize your contribution to it."

In the face of the sudden Royal Knight Medal, other government officials looked at Mayor Dorell with admiration. Although they had not been promoted to a higher position, the officials present knew what the Royal Knight Medal represented. This means that Mayor Dorrell has been recognized by the crown prince, which is a huge opportunity. Now who can not know that the crown prince is now in power alone, and the prime minister Bretianu can at most get the power that the crown prince gives him to do things.

"This medal is too precious, and my current credit is not eligible for it at all."

In the face of this Knight Medal that made all the officials present, Mayor Dorrell resisted the temptation to speak. It's not that he doesn't know how rare this opportunity is, but now he thinks that if he gets it, it will stand out in the government and will be detrimental to future development.

In the face of Mayor Dorrell's resignation, of course Edel would not take it back, he continued. "This is to let everyone know that the country will not forget everyone who paid for it and must accept it."

"Thank you His Royal Highness for your love for me. I will develop Ploiesti even better in the future."

After hearing the crown prince's words, Mayor Dorrell knew that he had to accept the Knight Medal, otherwise it would be an expression of dissatisfaction with the royal family. In fact, after he said his resignation at the beginning, he regretted it. After all, if he was misunderstood by the crown prince, then he would really be wronged.

Edel put the medal on Mayor Dorrell's chest and patted him on the shoulder to encourage him. "Work hard and make a greater contribution to Romania in the future, and you will be able to bridge the gap in the region."

A young man in his twenties patted a middle-aged man in his forties to encourage him, and none of the people present felt discordant.

After awarding Mayor Dorrell with honors, Eder also met with the officials of the city hall one by one, and every official who was met by him was cautiously grateful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It can be seen from this that Edel's prestige in Romania is now mostly due to the fact that Romania has developed well economically and militarily under the leadership of the crown prince in the past few years.

And in the Second Balkan War, it established its first position among the Balkan countries in one fell swoop. These achievements are inseparable from the key figure, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
