Gao Jinji |
CV-Prof GAO JinJi
Gao Jinji , Ph.D
Member of Chinese Academy of Engineering
Professor of Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Ph.D candidate advisor
Director of National Key Research Laboratory of Fault Prevention and Monitoring in Hazardous
Chemicals Production
Director of Chemical Safety Engineering Research Center of the National Ministry of Education
Vice president of China Association of Plant Engineering
Head of Petroleum and Chemicals Branch, National Safety Production Specialist Group
Vice president of China Academy of Vibration Engineering
Professor Gao JinJi, who took the lead in devising and applying the technology of plants’ diagnosis
in China, resolved difficulties of technology at trial run in Liaoyang Petrochemical Company (LYPC),
which was unsolvable by experts from France. He found the designed mistakes of axial thrust,
which led frequent shutdown
and made fatal accident on cracking gas compressor. He eliminated
vibration on high speed compressors, through remodeling design of bearing and using full-speed
auto balancer, which gained significant economic benefit. Remote monitoring and diagnosis system,
which was designed by Prof. Gao, had been successfully been applied in about 100 important
equipments like centrifugal compressor. He designed monitoring diagnosis and predictive
maintenance system, which avoided a lot of fatal accidents, and made the maintenance at minimal
level come true. He set up Sinopec Plant Diagnosis Center and helped more than 30 companies to
diagnose and remove faults
on 204 equipments.
Since 2001, he set up the National Key Research Laboratory of Fault Prevention and Monitoring in
Hazardous Chemicals Production, the Chemical Safety Engineering Research Center of the Ministry
of Education, and the Remote Diagnosis Beijing Center of China National Petroleum Corporation
(CNPC). Cooperated with some well-known international corporations, he founded the BUCT-RTD
Embedded System Lab, BUCT-PAC Joint Research Lab of Nondestructive Testing Technology, and
BUCT-DNV Joint Research Lab of Risk Analysis. He developed Intelligent Safety and Maintenance
System, and set up Remote Monitoring & Diagnosis System for China National Petroleum
Corporation, which monitors 156 key equipments and 5700 pumps.
The major awards he has been granted include a first-class Prize of the Advancement of Science
and Technology, three second–class Prizes of the Advancement of Science and Technology, three
third-class Prizes of the Advancement of Science and Technology, and three patent for invention of
China, and published more than 70 papers. Prof. Gao put forth the novel idea of Fault Self-recovery
Regulation (FSR) on International equipment engineering academe, and was appointed as the
member of World Congress on Engineering Asset Management (WCEAM) International Steering
Committee, and the chairman of the Third World Congress on Engineering Asset Management and Intelligent Maintenance
System.
