The two large pieces of equipment transported this time are propylene towers No. 1 and 2, with a tower length of 110m, a diameter of 10.6m, and a single piece weight of 1800t. This equipment is the longest piece of equipment in the first phase of the project. The smooth transportation of this equipment marks the completion of an important engineering node of the project. The 40 million tons/year integrated refining and chemical project of Zhejiang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is located at the Zhoushan Green Petrochemical Base on Yushan Island, Daishan County, Zhoushan City. It is currently the first phase of a 20 million tons/year refining project. It is one of the largest integrated refining and chemical projects in China in terms of construction scale and investment amount, with a total investment of approximately 130 billion yuan.
Another news is that the 1,500-ton Sinopec News Network reported that at 4 pm on November 13, the No. 2 propylene tower, the largest equipment of the Zhejiang Petrochemical ethylene project, successfully entered the site. The tower was installed by the Zhejiang Petrochemical Ethylene Project Branch of the Refinery and Chemical Engineering Company. It is understood that the No. 2 propylene tower has a diameter of 7.7 meters, a height of 110 meters, and a net weight of 1,500 tons. It is the tallest and heaviest equipment among the 1.4 million tons/year ethylene plant of Zhejiang Petrochemical. After the No. 2 propylene tower arrived at the owner's terminal, COSCO Group used two 21-axis axis trucks to transport it to the site. In order to ensure the smooth placement of the equipment upon arrival at the site, Shijian Zhejiang Petrochemical Ethylene Project Branch communicated with the transportation company in advance to determine the height of the supports. ； Based on the weight of the equipment, detailed planning was carried out with the owner to clarify the support and bottom bedding methods. ； At the same time, measure the level of the supports in advance and level all supports uniformly to ensure that the forces on all supports are balanced when the equipment falls. Through the efforts of all staff, it only took 50 minutes to complete the unloading of the equipment and successfully place it in the designated location. The person in charge of Zhejiang Petrochemical's ethylene project highly recognized the project department's high-quality and efficient organizational capabilities. The entry of the No. 2 propylene tower marks the beginning of the installation of large-scale equipment for Zhejiang Petrochemical's 1.4 million tons/year ethylene plant. Currently, the Shijian Zhejiang Petrochemical Ethylene Project Branch is actively organizing construction forces to fully prepare for the modular hoisting of the tower. It is planned to be hoisted by a 4,000-ton crawler crane on December 20. (Lin Fanke)
Another figure of "1,700 tons" popped up. ..... CSSC Shenghui has undertaken contracts for the first phase of the 40 million tons/year refining and chemical integration project with a 1.4 million tons/year ethylene unit, a 600,000 tons/year dehydrogenation propane unit and a 20 million tons/year atmospheric and vacuum unit contract. Among them, four ultra-large towers are supplied as a whole, each with a length of more than 100 meters and a weight of more than 1,000 tons. The size of the 2# propylene distillation tower shipped this time is φ7700×60×110630, with a transportation weight of nearly 1,700 tons. It was rolled on board using a 288-wheel trailer and shipped to the Zhoushan project site in a 16,000-ton barge. It was the first crane in the entire Zhejiang Petrochemical project.
The net weight calculated by the installation company for hoisting is 1,500 tons.； The transportation and delivery weight of the tower manufacturer is 1,700 tons. ； The shipping company's stowage weight is 1,800 tons (it is estimated that some seawater was added along the way ;P) ；
The diameter is also not uniform. The manufacturer's specifications are: φ7700×60×110630 ； The specifications of the shipping company are: The tower is 110m long and 10.6m in diameter.
10.6 meters should be the diameter of the largest part, such as the skirt
“Sinopec's Tenth Construction Project is scheduled to be hoisted by a 4,000-ton crawler crane on December 20." It is estimated to be the XGC88000 crawler crane in the picture below.
The real No. 1 in China will get three years with one vote
I heard a long time ago that Shenhua Coal-to-Liquids had a reactor that seemed to exceed 2,000 tons. It hired a Dutch company to hoist it. Did China not have such large hoisting equipment at that time?
You are talking about this. Looking for pictures of the 2000-ton hydrogenation reactor produced by China First Heavy Industry for Shenhua on-site. https://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1503918 (Source: Haichuan Chemical Forum Network)
In 2006, there were no such big cranes in China. The largest crawler crane in China now is 4,000 tons, and both XCMG and Sany have them. The largest crawler crane in the world is now 4,700 tons.
