【In-depth Discussion on HaiChuan Modular Installation】Case Study – The Largest Modular Steel Structure in ZhongKe Projects: The Gas Grinding and Gasification Framework for Hydrogen Production from Coal
Thread Content
On August 21, after more than two hours of meticulous work, the steel structure for the 55-meter to 90-meter levels of the coal gasification framework – the largest modular steel structure in the COSIC project – was successfully lifted into place. This enabled the comprehensive installation of piping for the unit’s gasification process and paved the way for the completion of the facility by the end of the year.
The installation and completion of the gasification framework for grinding is a key construction phase in coal-to-hydrogen plants. This steel structure is composed of four modules; the largest of these modules is 33 meters long, 11 meters wide, and 19 meters high, with a weight of around 346 tons. It is also the largest steel structure module used in the CAS projects. This modular installation method using frame components significantly reduces the installation time compared to traditional tower cranes or truck cranes, which require assembling each beam on-site one by one, while also minimizing the risks associated with workers working at heights. To ensure the safe and steady placement of the four steel structure modules, Sinopec Shipping Company developed a safe and reliable lifting construction plan. Taking into account the conditions of the existing mechanical equipment and lifting gear, a 2,000-ton crawler crane with an main boom of 84 meters was used as the primary lifting device. Through the joint efforts of various participating units such as the Science and Technology Project Department, Huaxia Supervision, Ningbo Engineering, and Shandong Junhui, the framework was ready for lifting on August 20, thereby buying time for subsequent work.
It is understood that during the lifting operations for the gasification unit of this coal-to-hydrogen plant, in addition to lifting and installing 4 large steel structure modules, 9 other pieces of equipment will also be lifted, including 3 pulverized coal filters, 2 pulverized coal storage tanks, 2 filter housings, and 2 air receivers. The total weight of all equipment to be lifted is nearly 1,500 tons, with completion expected by August 25th. 【All-media reporter】 Liu Wen 【Correspondents】 Nie Dongsheng, Meng Xiangshan 【Photography】 Nie Dongsheng, Lin Jianghai 【Author】 Liu Wen 【Source】 Southern+ app, Southern Newspaper Media Group
We are now lifting the gasification framework; it’s impossible to complete the gasification unit by the end of the year!
It was hoisted in August. Is the end of the year the lunar calendar date or the solar calendar date?
It’s hard to say anything about Sinopec; they always like to undertake various project aimed at presenting gifts.
