Ten years of rapid development in chemical technology – praising the prosperity and strength of modern China. This is just a starting point; more participation will make things even more interesting. With you here, HaiChuan becomes even better. [Ten years of development in chemical equipment] – continuous updates and summaries available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html. Enhance quality awareness and promote high-quality development. ----------------------------------------- The polyamide caprolactam project of Shandong Luxi Chemical is located within the Luxi Chemical Plant area in Guguantun Town, Dongchangfu District, Liaocheng City, Shandong Province. The project’s tower, alcohol tower, and cyclohexanol separation tower need to be fabricated and installed on-site; the total fabrication volume is approximately 1,308 tons ； The total weight of the equipment such as the benzene removal tower, cyclohexene removal tower, cyclohexane purification tower, cyclohexanol separation tower, feed separator, cyclohexene recovery tower, benzene recovery tower, light ends tower, and other related towers is approximately 2,218 tons. Once the project is completed and put into operation, it will be able to produce an additional 600,000 tons per year of caprolactam, 600,000 tons per year of nylon 6, as well as related products. The first-phase construction project of Luxi Chemical’s 600,000 tons per year caprolactam·nylon 6 facility mainly includes 300,000 tons per year of caprolactam, 300,000 tons per year of nylon 6, as well as supporting production facilities and auxiliary utilities such as public engineering systems. On September 6, the same-tower structure, manufactured and installed by the Shandong Luxi Chemical Project Department, was successfully lifted into place. The same tower, TB203, has a height of 81.5 meters, a diameter of 7.1 meters, and a total weight of around 516 tons; it is manufactured in three sections on-site and then assembled. Starting in August, the project team used 800T and 280T crawler cranes to sequentially complete the lifting tasks for the lower section and the second section of the same tower. On September 6, thanks to the relentless efforts of all the personnel involved in the project team, the twin towers made their debut at the center of the entire construction site, rising high into the sky. From the initial pressing of the cylinder arc plates, to the installation of internal components, and all the way to the welding of the tower sections, each project team carried out careful planning and systematic organization. They successfully overcame various challenges such as delays in material supply during the equipment manufacturing phase, limitations in transportation routes and working space, high difficulties and risks associated with the installation process, as well as adverse weather conditions. The technical staff fulfilled their duties, and the construction teams worked tirelessly to complete the construction tasks on schedule while ensuring quality. The development of a company relies on the dedication and perseverance of its employees in the chemical engineering field. All members of the project team stated that they will draw lessons from the manufacturing and installation of each piece of equipment, organize everything carefully, and deliver projects of high standards, quality, and excellence to meet the expectations of their clients ； Contribute to the company’s glory with the \"iron army spirit\" of being capable of striving and overcoming challenges.
