【Haichuan Chemical Salary Updates】24 new crude oil storage tanks with a capacity of 150,000 cubic meters have been built on Dalian Changxing Island, using Baosteel’s steel for such tanks

2007-9-19 16:2 View A while ago, a batch of steel B610E intended for 150,000 cubic meter storage tanks was shipped from Baosteel’s branch to the customer; thereby, Baosteel completed successfully the task of supplying all the materials needed for those 150,000 cubic meter crude oil storage tanks. During the tender process for steel used in Sinopec’s 150,000-cubic-meter crude oil storage tanks held at the end of March this year, Baosteel made full use of its integrated advantages, and through a combined sales strategy along with strong capabilities in providing supporting supplies, it successfully secured the contract for supplying all the materials needed for those storage tanks. During the supply process, under the unified coordination of the Manufacturing Management Department, Baosteel’s branch developed a detailed schedule of key milestones to ensure timely delivery of goods ； Communicate promptly with the quality inspection department, sales center, and research institute to resolve on-site issues and ensure product quality. At a critical moment when the heavy plate plant was shutting down and relocating, Pugang actively utilized its production coordination office to enforce strict production and product inspection procedures, ensuring the quality of each batch of products.

The Oil Tank “Giant” Cheers for Baosteel Internet 08-07-24 Views: 12142 The Oil Tank “Giant” Cheers for Baosteel Insights from the Sinopec Baishawan Crude Oil Commercial Reserve Facility Proud and uplifted! China’s first ultra-large crude oil storage tank with a capacity of 150,000 cubic meters, built using domestically produced steel plates, has been fully completed. Recently, a reporter followed members of Baosteel’s R&D and production team specializing in steel for storage tanks to visit the construction site in order to see the scale of this \"giant\" structure. 　　The tank is as large as a football field. With the dawn breaking, we drove to a place called Baishawan in the Jinshan Petrochemical Industrial Zone in the northwest of Shanghai – the site where ultra-large crude oil storage tanks with a capacity of 150,000 cubic meters were built. 　　Before even reaching the site, a sign could be seen from afar. Upon closer inspection, a few lines of text caught our attention: \"All the large oil tanks in the Baishawan Crude Oil Commercial Reserve Base project were constructed using domestically produced steel plates. The high-strength steel plates used for building the 150,000 cubic meter large oil tanks are products of Baosteel, and this is the first time such thing has happened in China...\" Reading this, a sense of pride arose in us. 　　“Look, that’s the storage tank made from our steel plates. ”Following the direction indicated by Xiao Zhaocheng, a marketing officer from Baosteel’s sales center, one could see, on a tidal flat area of over 10 hectares by the sea, four cylindrical \"giants\" arranged in a row, looking truly imposing. According to the workers on site, each of them is 21 meters in height and has a diameter of 100 meters, covering an area equivalent to that of a standard football field. 　　Competing with imported plates: To the north of the construction site, 4 storage tanks of similar size stand side by side with the \"giants\" built from Posco steel. “They use imported steel plates,” Li Yan, the chief engineer of Sinopec’s Baishawan Crude Oil Commercial Reserve Base, told the reporter. “To be honest, I prefer Baosteel’s steel plates! ” 　　This veteran with over 20 years of experience in the construction of crude oil storage tanks said emotionally that before Baosteel’s high-strength quenched and tempered steel plates were developed, storage tanks of 50,000 cubic meters, or 100,000 or 150,000 cubic meters in size had to rely on imported steel plates. Not only were these plates expensive, but the delivery times were also long, making the work quite challenging. 　　“Using our **own steel plates has been something we’ve longed for for many years! ”With the successful development of Baosteel’s products, Old Li’s workload became much lighter: Baosteel’s steel plates have an attractive shape, excellent flatness, and good weldability, with a first-pass welding success rate of over 98%, outperforming even imported plates. “More importantly, Baosteel’s steel plates are reasonably priced and delivered on time; I’m not worried at all about the completion by the end of October. In the past, I wouldn’t have dared to give such a guarantee. ” 　　Lao Li became more and more excited as he spoke: “You see, although the tank project using Baosteel steel started later than one that used imported steel, the progress at both sites is now almost the same.” With just these, my tone when negotiating with foreigners changes completely – I feel so confident! ”

An incident in the field: Hearing that people from Baosteel had arrived, Xiao Huibo, the project manager of Sinopec’s Tenth Construction Company who was holding a meeting on site, left immediately to come and talk with us. A detail he revealed further confirms the truth that \"a sharp sword is forged through grinding.\" 　　At the beginning of last year, Baosteel won the bid for the Baishawan project, with its output accounting for half as much as that of imported products. Yet in practice, everyone in the project department started raising objections; after all, this was the first time that domestically produced steel plates were used for such a large-scale crude oil storage tank, leading to continuous doubts, concerns, and debates. Some even suggested changing the 4 tanks won by Baosteel to 1. 　　Faced with tremendous pressure, the people of Baosteel resolutely took on their historical mission. When welding the first layer of the base using 40-millimeter-thick steel plates, representatives from Baosteel, the project owner, and the construction party were all present; welding was carried out simultaneously with flaw detection, creating an extremely tense atmosphere. “Baosteel, which strives to do its best, did not disappoint anyone; a result of \"all tests passed\" put an end to all doubts. 　　“It was from that moment on that I was completely at ease! ”Xiao Huibo said, “For future cooperation, Baosteel is my first choice.” ”

A crude oil storage tank area with a capacity of 3.6 million cubic meters – truly spectacular! Changxing Island generally stores Russian oil.

I have worked on projects involving 150,000 cubic meters; each tank’s steel plates weigh over 3,000 tons, and the cost of production is 2,400 yuan per ton

That doesn’t mean Hengli Petrochemical’s raw materials are mainly Russian oil, right?

This special steel plate is only needed for the lower sections; ordinary steel plates can be used for the upper parts.

The steel plates alone cost 7.2 million yuan.
