Transporting a 374-ton hydrocracking reactor 40 years ago
Thread Content
In early 1981, a large flatbed truck from the Wuhan fleet of the Ministry of Transport’s Automotive Transportation Corporation was used to transport a 374-ton hydrocracking reactor unit, which was safely delivered to the construction site of the Nanjing refinery from the Qixia Mountain riverside dock in Nanjing. This was the heaviest single-item shipment transported by road in China at that time.
Are all the equipment imported? Besides people
Were the roads in Nanjing already so smooth in the early 1980s? Or was a separate \"channel\" created, just like on an aircraft carrier?"
The vehicle is imported, and it’s unknown where the reactor was manufactured
I don’t know; it seems like the factory is located by the river
Looking at the map, this area is relatively flat
How was this tower lifted back then? ?
It should be a domestic reactor, as the process package comes from Luoyang Institute.
Wrong; in 1981, only 4 sets for producing 300,000 tons of ethylene and 14 sets for producing 30/50 tons of ammonia and urea were imported, while other processes such as those involving oil refining on a scale of less than 3 million tons were fully domestically produced.
