manager with the top management's authorization for execution of the project.With the great support of directors and principal engineers or experts of Chengda functional discipline departments,the project has been successfully carried out through six month study.The philosophy of the study is to promote Chengda's capability of technology development and innovation,drive technology transformation into industry,upgrade the related industry structure and conform to the requirements of "Long Term Guide to National Science and Technology Development(2006-2020)","12th Five Years Plan for National Innovation Capability Construction","12th Five Years Plan for National Science and Technology Development".The study is focus on technology development of Chengda's main business of chemical and petro-chemical industry.Secondly,the paper analyses and specifies the technology development trends of the involved industry by Chengda,and the paper also analyses and specifies the technology development trends of the industries expected by Chengda.The long term technology development of the involved industry and the expected industries are forecasted,the strength and weakness of Chengda's current technology development and innovation management conditions are analyzed.Pursuant to the requirements of "Long Term Guide to National Science and Technology Development(2006-2020)" the paper analyses Chengda's current technology development and innovation management advantages and disadvantages as well as the needs of the national industries.Chengda's policy,objectives,main tasks and trends for long term technology development and innovation have been put forwarded for the purpose of Chengda's guide of 12th five years plan for technology development and innovation.Only carefully studying and following the trends of the involved and expected industries,can Chengda make the correct policy to keep the leading place of the engineering field.Chengda is involved mainly in chemical and petro-chemicalindustry,simultaneously involved in energy,power,light industry,metallurgy,civil building etc..Which are all technology concentrated industries.Chengda's inspiration is "Create and innovate continuously,promote the winning value of both Chengda and its Clients with the advanced technology and management"In conformity with the requirements of "Long Term Guide to National Science and Technology Development(2006-2020)",Chengda's expected business of industries are high efficiency clean energy utilization of coal liquefaction,gasification,coal chemicals,integrated gasification combined cycle(IGCC),large scale super critical fluidization bed for power generation and the pollution control for the fuel coal,the water save production process and water recycle utilization,sea water pretreatment and demineralization,comprehensive utilization of dense salty water,resourcing the waste materials,the clean production process development and integration for heavy pollution industry,green fine architecture design,energy saving architecture building material and standard,package equipment and system design and verification,high efficiency clean production technology for fossil energy with zero carbon dioxide emission,new high efficiency recyclable energy technology,critical material and part technology development for heavy equipment,green and automatic production equipment and technology development for process industry,ecological conceptual system integration and automation for various industries with the transmitters and intelligent measurement control devices,energy saving equipment and technology for large scale fertilizer production.Thirdly,the paper put forward the new frame and structure for Chengda's technology development and innovation.The strategies and objectives for Chengda's technology development and innovation are also specified herein.There is a long painstaking way for Chengda to go for catching up with the international top engineering companies.There exists Chengda's advantage and disadvantages.Three advantages are as follows:the driving forces coming from technical requirement of Chengda's continuous high speed increase of main EPC business,the existed complete platform for technology innovation with first rate experts and some world leading technology,Chengda's good opportunity to communicate with the leading international process licensors.Chengda can obtain the great achievement of technology development and innovation with all employee's self-confidence under the view of scientific development.Chengda should strategically position its technology development and innovation as follows:create Chengda an international top engineering company with engineering as main business,project as carrier,technology as support,innovation as ties,and lateral enlargement of business scope and longitudinal extension of EPC field.The proposed strategy for Chengda's technology development and innovation is as follows:Base Chengda technology development and innovation on the requirements of current main business of traditional leading fields,keep the domestic leading position by developing the process design packages for various scale production plants of chlor-alkali and chlorine,soda ash,ammonia,acetylene and methanol,and ethylene.Aim to be the most competitive engineering company by technology development and innovation for the new energy,new material,new processes,energy saving and waste emission reducing,safety and environment protection by utilizing platform of Chengda R&D Center so as to develop the relevant process packages,patents and know-how in flue gas desulfurization,integrated gasification combined cycle(IGCC),liquefied natural gas(LNG),poly-silicone,energy saving and environment protection.Fourthly,the paper specifies the main tasks for Chengda's technology development and innovation.Chengda should continuously focus on process and engineering technology development and innovation,foundational work(technical guide),information infrastructure and facilities construction during the cu12th five years plan.The paper specifies the main process R&D projects as follows:process research of heat transfer conversion plant for ammonia,double first stage conversion plant for ammonia,process research and critical equipment development of 300000 ton/year ammonia synthesis loop,gasification technology development of coal powder and dry technology development of lignite,process-research and critical equipment development of 1200 ton/d nitric acid and 1500 ton/d ammonium nitrate,process research of ammonium chloride granulation and electrolysis,Domestic production technology research of large scale LNG terminal storage tank and gasification equipment with control system,poly silicone energy saving process technology and critical equipment development,technical scheme study on Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle.Finally,the paper proposes the assurance measures for Chengda's technology development and innovation so as to maintain and develop its core competitiveness.Chengda should continuously invest a lot of human resource and money with the amount of 3%sales volume in the technology development and innovation.The incentive mechanism and best environment for innovation should further improved.Chengda should fully take the advantages of the innovation platform of Chengda R&D Center which will become the source of the new core product technology with most competitiveness in global.
