Give praise and support to the achievements made in China’s chemical engineering technology and equipment; your participation in discussions is the greatest encouragement. **********************【Ten Years of Great Development in Chemical Engineering Equipment】Regular updates and summaries are available; feel free to participate in the discussions: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html ***************** The largest core piece of equipment made from pure zirconium in the 500,000-ton per year acetic acid production facility built by Nanjing Baose Co., Ltd. for Guangxi Hua Yi Energy Chemical Co., Ltd., namely the acetic acid water separation tower, was successfully delivered on December 31, 2019. The main body of this tower is made of imported zirconium plates; it is 51 meters tall and weighs 65 tons. Not only is the amount of zirconium material used higher than that in other similar special equipment in China, but high precision is also required in its fabrication, making the production process challenging.
