The twin towers of the Xinjiang Xinhui Energy project were successfully hoisted into place
Thread Content
In March 2024, the CO₂ desorption tower and H₂S concentration tower of the low-temperature methanol washing unit at the Xinjiang Xinji Energy project were successfully lifted into place; once the towers were in place, the lighting was turned on, marking the completion of the heavy equipment lifting work for the first phase of this project.
The CO₂ desorption tower is over 77 meters tall and weighs approximately 237 tons, while the H₂S concentration tower is over 67 meters tall and weighs around 188 tons. To reduce the risks associated with working at heights, after the two pieces of equipment arrived, the Xinjiang Xinji Energy project team of Tianchen Company organized the subcontractors to carry out tasks such as installing pipelines attached to the tower, setting up lighting equipment, and applying anti-corrosion and insulation measures on the surface. During the lifting operation, a 1250t crawler crane was used as the main crane, while a 650t crawler crane served as the auxiliary crane. Together, these two cranes adjusted the equipment to a vertical position; thereafter, the main crane lifted the equipment over the main frame of the low-temperature methanol wash unit, and it was then successfully lifted to the desired installation height through the top of the frame. Finally, the lighting fixtures were tested to ensure they worked properly.
