Recently, good news came from the Green Transformation and Product Structure Adjustment and Upgrading Project of Xindu Chemical Salt Industry in Yingcheng, Hubei. The large-scale synthesis tower, part of the combined synthesis unit for this project, was successfully lifted into place in one go by Lu’an Chemical Machinery. The synthesis tower is the core unit of the project, weighing 580 tons, with a diameter of 3.6 meters and a height of 32.5 meters. A 1,250-ton crawler crane is used as the main crane, while a 600-ton crawler crane is responsible for providing precise support during the tail sliding operation. Synthesis towers are not only heavy but also require high precision. The internal structure of the equipment is special; it is a multi-layer wrapping device. To address challenges such as the complex manufacturing process of wrapping equipment and the high requirements for inter-layer adhesion, Lu’an Huajian Gasification Equipment Branch worked together closely, assigning a team with excellent technical skills to carry out the production. Strict controls were applied to processes such as welding, grinding, and inter-layer adhesion testing, to ensure that no quality defects arose during the equipment wrapping process, thereby guaranteeing the delivery of high-quality equipment in every aspect. It is reported that the project is located in the chemical industry park of Yingcheng City, Hubei Province. With a total investment of 7.5 billion yuan and covering an area of about 2,000 mu, it represents an important initiative by the local authorities to implement the concept of green development, accelerate the development of a circular economy, and respond to the **\"dual carbon\" policies. Upon completion, the project will establish a nationally leading demonstration industrial chain for the \"brine-salt-alkali-fertilizer\" cycle in the salt chemical industry, thereby promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of Hubei’s salt chemical sector. In recent years, Lu’an Huaji has focused on achieving the \"dual carbon\" goals and advancing its green transformation, making breakthrough achievements in key technology areas such as modular integration, biomass gasification, long-duration energy storage, and the electrolytic utilization of CO2. Next, Lu’an Huaji will continue to pursue a development path focused on internationalization, high-end capabilities, intelligence, and sustainability. It will develop a range of gasification technologies for various types of furnaces, and gradually advance advanced technologies and equipment in emerging energy fields such as PEM cells, power capsules, and long-duration energy storage. By doing so, it aims to contribute to the green transformation of the global energy industry, and to fast-track its development into a high-end supplier and service provider of energy-related equipment with global competitiveness.
