Without contrast, there is no hatred in the world.

On March 19, 2018, CNPC First Construction used a MYQ-type 5,000-ton gantry crane to successfully lift and install the 2,638-ton heavy 1# xylene tower for Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Co., Ltd.’s 20 million tons per year integrated refining and chemical processing project.
The xylene tower being lifted this time has a maximum diameter of 10.6 meters and a height of 113.1 meters; it is the tallest and heaviest piece of equipment at Hengli Petrochemical’s site.
Sinopec Fourth Construction Company also has a gantry crane, of the 3,000-ton class; its lifting capacity is estimated to be insufficient. If they are not competitors, the MYQ type 5,000-ton gantry crane can be used to carry out overall modular lifting, enabling the tower to be erected, the lights to be turned on, and the pipelines to be connected.
This is a post about the completion of the lifting operation for Hengli Petrochemical’s No. 2 xylene tower. 【HaiChuan Project Information】Hengli Petrochemical’s No. 2 xylene tower has been lifted into place https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1937807-1-1.html (Source: HaiChuan Chemical Forum Website)
That’s indeed the case; one lifting operation can reduce a lot of time required for work at heights and related preparations
Hehe, I even forgot the posts I posted myself
Yes, it’s at least the largest tower of its kind for now. I don’t know which manufacturer made it; could it be Ningbo again? ?
Yes. Manufactured at the Xiangshan factory of Sinopec Ningbo Tianyi Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. The image shows, on the evening of September 6, the first section of the xylene tower, a large-scale facility in the second phase of Hainan Refining and Chemicals’ project, being transported from Yangpu Port to the factory premises of Hainan Refining and Chemicals.
