On October 31, the last flare tip for this unit, which was constructed by Tianchen Engineering Company, was installed, marking the successful completion of the heavy equipment lifting operations and the installation of the main facilities for the Guangxi Huayi project carried out by Tianchen Company. It is reported that the plant’s flares for the Guangxi Huayi project consist of 4 flare systems; the flare towers are 100 meters tall, with a 5-meter-high flare tip at the top of each system. There are many typhoons in the Beibu Gulf in October. The site is located very close to the sea, so strong winds are common; this makes high-altitude construction work at the site particularly difficult. The installation of the torch is one of the most challenging tasks in the project’s installation process. The Guangxi Hua Yi project team of Tianchen Company carried out meticulous planning for various stages, including the segmentation of the flare tower structure, the installation of pipelines attached to the tower, the assembly of the flare, and the lifting operations. By ensuring safety and quality, they coordinated efforts effectively and planned the timing and scope of these tasks in an orderly manner. With the care and support of the project owner and supervisor, as well as the close cooperation of the heavy-lifting and installation teams, the torch tower was successfully installed in 4 sections one after another, and the 4 torch heads were also properly placed. Thus, the installation of the torch was completed successfully in the beautiful month of October. The Huayi Qinzhou Chemical New Materials Integrated Base project is located in the Qinzhou Petrochemical Industrial Park, covering an area of about 8,000 mu, with a total investment of around 70 billion yuan. It will be implemented in three phases. It covers four major industrial chains: coal chemical industry, light hydrocarbon cracking, salt chemical industry, and downstream petrochemical industry, involving 40 types of chemical products and 65 sets of processing units. One of these industrial gas island projects, with a total investment of 14.3 billion yuan, is part of the coal chemical industry chain; construction began in November 2017. It will produce industrial gases such as hydrogen, syngas, and nitrogen for use by enterprises within the park, as well as chemical products like methanol, ethylene glycol, and acetic acid. Completion and operation are expected by 2020. The second phase of the light hydrocarbon comprehensive utilization project has a total investment of around 20.8 billion yuan. The project focuses on ethane cracking and propane dehydrogenation as its core processes, and it will produce products such as polyethylene, ethylene glycol, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), acrylates, polyether polyols, caustic soda, and polyvinyl chloride. Construction is expected to begin in 2019. The main plant area of the project is located in plots 25 and 26 in the Qinzhou Petrochemical Industry Park, to the south of it. The third-phase methanol-to-olefins and downstream processing project has a total investment of around 18.3 billion yuan; it will produce products such as polypropylene, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, caustic soda, and polyvinyl chloride, with construction set to begin in 2025.
