SEG Promotes the Use of Automatic Welding Technology at Sinopec Refining & Chemicals 2018-12-06 Source: Sinopec News Network. The year 2019 was a period of intensive installation work for the projects at Sinopec Refining & Chemicals, and the welding of process pipelines was a key aspect of this installation process. In order to improve the quality, speed, and efficiency of welding process pipelines, SEG, which is responsible for the construction of these projects, took proactive measures by starting to promote the use of automatic welding technology in advance. On November 29, SEG organized a meeting on the exchange and application of automatic welding technology at the Zhongke site. 36 leaders and experts from SEG’s headquarters as well as its subsidiary companies—Luoyang Engineering, Engineering Construction, Shanghai Engineering, Ningbo Engineering, Nanjing Engineering—and the Fourth, Fifth, and Tenth Construction Companies attended this meeting. At the meeting, reports were first presented by the various SEG subsidiaries working on the Zhongke project, covering matters such as the volume of pipeline work to be undertaken for this project, the construction of pipeline processing plants, and the plans for implementing automatic welding techniques in the Zhongke project ； Then, reports were presented by the technical leaders or experts from various SEG subsidiaries on their experiences in innovation, research and development, and application of full-automatic welding technologies ； At the meeting, they provided a detailed overview of the company’s achievements in the innovation, research, and application of automatic welding technologies over the past few years. This included information on the progress in research related to automatic welding technologies, their status of adoption, as well as plans for future research and development. Examples included trackless, all-position crawling welding robots that can be used for welding storage tanks, multi-joint welding robots for the mass production of pipe supports, And technologies for automatic welding at the rotating ends of pipes and at their fixed ends. The leading experts present held in-depth and detailed discussions on new automatic welding technologies, processes, equipment, and materials, as well as on how to implement these technologies at the Sinopec refining project site in the future and what welding technology barriers still need to be overcome. All agreed that this meeting was held at an opportune time and was a success; through discussions and exchanges, the strengths of various perspectives were taken into account, which further enhanced understanding of the promotion and application of automatic welding techniques. This plays a significant role in improving the efficiency of pipeline welding, as well as ensuring the safety, quality, and stability of pipeline construction processes and boosting production efficiency. The meeting achieved its intended objectives. The meeting called on all participating units to raise their awareness of the importance of promoting the use of automatic welding to a new level. They were urged to make efforts in establishing automated production lines in pipeline processing plants, investing in automatic welding equipment, and providing technical training for welders. Additionally, continued research and development of new automatic welding technologies are necessary, so that such technologies can play a greater role and contribute more effectively to the construction of the Sinopec Refining and Chemical Project as well as to efforts to achieve excellence in engineering projects.
