【Haichuan Explores the World】How is the world’s largest 3,000-ton reactor lifted?
Thread Content
Do you still remember the report a few days ago about the world’s first 3,000-ton super slurry-bed forge-welded hydrogenation reactor that was delivered to Yushan Island? This afternoon, after more than ten hours of work, this core equipment for Zhejiang Petrochemical’s 40 million tons per year integrated refining and chemical processing project was successfully hoisted into place!
This device is the largest chemical monomer facility in the world at present

At the construction site of Zhejiang Petrochemical’s Phase II project, the 5,200-ton hydraulic lifting system was successfully installed in place thanks to the joint efforts of the employees at Petrochemical Transportation Company. It is reported that the Zhejiang Petrochemical Phase II slurry-bed residue hydrocracking units consist of two sets, arranged symmetrically east and west. There are 58 large-scale equipment units in these units, each with a weight of over 80 tons; the total lifting weight of this equipment amounts to 30,000 tons. The key equipment among them is the 3,000-ton slurry-bed hydrogenation reactor, which is also the largest and heaviest equipment of its kind in domestic facilities at present. The 5,200-ton hydraulic lifting system is used for the main lifting equipment of the 3,000-ton reactor, while the tail slewing device is an XCMG 2,000-ton crawler crane. The lifting of a 3,000-ton reactor is not only a key focus for Petrochemical Shipping Company but also the main construction task for the Zhejiang Petrochemical project in the first half of the year. To ensure the safe lifting of the 3,000-ton reactor, the project management team attached great importance to this task. Strict controls were implemented at various stages, including foundation preparation, the design of lifting covers and connectors, the optimization of the lifting plan, the development of disassembly and assembly procedures, thorough briefings, and supervision of on-site safety.
Affected by the pandemic, the hydraulic lifting components were packed and shipped in batches on April 1. Upon arrival at the site, in order to save space for storage, improve assembly efficiency, and reduce safety risks, the employees of Petrochemical Shipping Company provided a detailed safety and technical briefing regarding the plan for disassembling and assembling the 5,200-ton hydraulic lifting system. Thanks to the scientific organization and meticulous work by the Heavy Lifting Project Team at Zhejiang Petrochemical, the hydraulic lifting equipment successfully completed the installation of the main structure on April 21. This was not only an important milestone but also created favorable conditions for the planned lifting of the 3,000-ton reactor. Since the launch of the \"100-Day Campaign for Efficiency Improvement\" initiative, the Heavy Equipment Lifting Department of Zhejiang Petrochemical Shipping Company has ensured that all employees working on this project are united in thought and action. They have actively fostered a work atmosphere characterized by competition, learning from one another, striving to outdo each other, and offering mutual support, thus fully engaging in the intense efforts required for the project. This approach has laid a solid foundation for achieving all the objectives set for the year.
