On February 1st and 3rd, two large units of the flexible coking unit for the Brunei project—the main fractionation tower and one of the three key equipment units, namely the reactor—were successfully lifted into place in a single operation each, completing the installation of all the core equipment units in the plant area. On February 1, the main distillation tower of the flexible coking unit was successfully lifted into place. It is situated on a equipment foundation at an elevation of 7.9 meters. The main distillation tower has a diameter of 4 meters and a height of 53 meters; it is equipped with 16 levels of platforms and 21 pipes attached to it. After the external insulation measures were installed, the weight of the tower reached 210 tons. A 1600-ton crawler crane was used for the lifting operation, and the tower was successfully placed in position in one go. ======================= Wear clothes and a hat

Modularization enhances efficiency; with the introduction of 4,000-ton cranes and the advancement of computer-based BIM modeling, it is likely that larger and more modular installations will become a trend in the future. After all, installations are also products. In the past, the conditions were not right for assembling them on-site in factories, but now it’s possible to pre-fabricate them in advance and then install them on site. This reduces the need for a large number of laborers and saves a lot of costs. Is Mr. Lao Yu in charge of this project?

On February 3, the reactor, one of the core equipment components in the flexible coking unit – namely one of the \"three key devices\" – was successfully lifted for the second time under the operation of a 1600-ton crawler crane; it is located on a 18-meter-high equipment base. Together with the gasifier and heater that have already been installed, all of the core equipment of the flexible coking unit – the “three units” of equipment – have now been installed by the eve of the Spring Festival. The maximum diameter of the reactor vessel is 5.45 meters, its height is 72.65 meters, and its lifting weight is 420 tons. The reactor was delivered on February 1, just before the Chinese Lunar New Year, which is also a peak period for work on the flexible coking unit. To ensure progress with the construction, the project team responsible for the flexible coking unit organized everything in accordance with the construction plan; they arranged for workers to prepare the area where the cranes would be positioned and the routes through which the equipment would be transported, thus ensuring smooth delivery of the large-scale equipment and the cranes ； Upon the arrival of the equipment, it was inspected right away. Careful and rapid preparations were carried out, including sorting the equipment, removing temporary seals from the pipe openings, and taking away the temporary supports used during transportation, which ensured that the equipment was ready for lifting in the shortest possible time. This approach received high praise from the client.

No, it’s about gathering information on modular installations from various sources. A discussion thread was started on HaiChuan two years ago; there’s a series of posts you can check out – the link is above

At 14:10 on February 21, with the 8.8-meter-diameter, 34-meter-high bed of coke storage bin for the flexible coking unit in the Brunei project successfully installed on its 10.5-meter-high concrete frame foundation, the installation of all large-scale equipment for this flexible coking unit was completed. If one can wear clothes and a hat, then they should wear them

The arrival of the bed layer coking material silo at the construction site coincided with China’s traditional festival, the Spring Festival. In order to install the equipment as soon as possible and create the conditions necessary for subsequent structural work and pipeline installation, the Coking Division’s project team continued working throughout the Spring Festival. The work of setting up scaffolding, installing protective equipment, laying pipelines, and carrying out anti-corrosion and insulation measures was carried out in an orderly and efficient manner, ensuring that the equipment could be installed on schedule. With the lifting of the large equipment completed, the site was prepared for the completion of the steel structure and the installation of pipelines. The large-scale equipment for the flexible coking unit in the Brunei project totals 18 units, including 6 towers, 3 heat exchangers, 4 vessels, 3 three-reactor systems, and 2 carbonyl sulfide reactors. Apart from the large-scale equipment, the flexible coking unit has a total of 164 static devices, of which 162 have been installed, giving an installation completion rate of 98.8% ； There are a total of 100 moving equipment units, of which 92 have been installed, giving an installation completion rate of 92%. The total weight of the steel structure is 6,426 tons; 6,152 tons have been completed, giving an installation completion rate of 96%. The total length of process piping to be installed on-site is 180,414 inches, of which 62,631 inches have been installed, giving an installation completion rate of 35%. Currently, the site is in the intensive pipeline installation phase. The Flexible Coking Division will, under the unified coordination and management of the Brunei project team, allocate construction resources efficiently, organize work scientifically, and take various construction measures to improve efficiency and complete the construction tasks on schedule.

On November 7, 2018, the modular steel structure for the coke conveying hopper and the steel framework of the coke dust silo in Brunei’s project was successfully lifted in one go.
