Commencement of the lifting operations for large components of the methanol unit in Inner Mongolia Jiu Tai New Materials’ coal-based ethylene glycol project / Author/Source: Huahua Network – Coal Chemicals / Date: 2020-11-01 / Clicks: 2. At 14:18 on October 30, the \"atmospheric pressure tower\" of Unit 2’s distillation section in Inner Mongolia Jiu Tai New Materials’ 1 million tons per year ethylene glycol methanol plant was successfully lifted into place by Hualu Engineering’s EPCM contract team, marking the full commencement of the lifting operations for large components in this methanol unit. The ‘atmospheric pressure tower’ in the methanol plant’s distillation unit is the core equipment of this unit; it has a height of 62.68 meters and a diameter of 5.4 meters, and its weight, after being equipped with necessary components, amounts to 383 tons. In accordance with the delivery schedule for the project’s equipment, most of the equipment for the methanol plant is scheduled to arrive in the near future. The Hualu project team has carefully planned a one-month period dedicated to the centralized lifting of these large-scale equipment items; it has formulated a work plan for such lifts and taken steps in advance to prepare everything needed, while also making efforts to secure all necessary construction resources. To ensure the safe and smooth lifting of large-scale equipment, the Hualu project team exercises comprehensive and effective control over all aspects, including the approval of lifting plans, the assembly and inspection of cranes upon arrival at the site, specialized training and briefings for the personnel involved, the treatment of the foundation at the lifting site and along the movement paths as well as the testing of its load-bearing capacity, the removal of obstacles, and the handover of tasks related to the construction of the equipment foundations. This approach ensures the safe and smooth lifting of large items, laying a solid foundation for subsequent lifting operations related to the methanol plant.
