Recently, the large-scale equipment – specifically the THF product purification tower – for the 500,000 tons per year BioPTMEG project (Phase I) of Jiangsu Huafeng Ruixun Biomedical Materials Co., Ltd., which was constructed by the Shanghai branch of China National Chemical Engineering Third Construction Company, was successfully hoisted into place. This marks the beginning of the process of installing the necessary components on the tower. The THF product purification tower of the PTMEG unit being lifted this time weighs 82.5 tons, has a diameter of 3.58 meters, and a length of 53.95 meters. The lifting was carried out using the single-crane lifting method: one 400-ton crawler crane was used for the main lifting, while another 150-ton crawler crane was used to assist in lifting. The project is located in the Lusi Port Economic Development Zone in Qidong, Jiangsu, covering a planned land area of 650 mu. Its construction scope includes an annual production capacity of 500,000 tons of bio-based polytetramethylether glycol and 20,000 tons of **furan, among other products. This project uses furfural produced from corn cobs as the main raw material, employing the independently developed BioPTMEG process. Compared to traditional petroleum-based PTMEG, it can reduce raw material costs by over 30% while cutting carbon emissions by 40%, enabling the transition of PTMEG production from a \"black gold\" to a \"green gold.\" This not only boosts economic benefits significantly but also aligns more closely with the strategy of green and low-carbon development, contributing to the achievement of the \"dual carbon\" goals and highlighting the dual value of technological innovation in ecological protection and industrial upgrading.
