The past decade has been a period of rapid development for China’s chemical industry, marked by the emergence of many new processes, products, and equipment. There has also been significant progress in China’s chemical processing equipment, which has contributed to the swift advancement of the petrochemical sector. Here, we have compiled some of the achievements and breakthroughs made by Chinese equipment manufacturers in terms of larger-scale production and greater use of domestic equipment. We invite everyone to share their insights and discuss these topics together; let’s cheer for Made in China and support the development of chemical processing equipment! *********************************** At 10:18 a.m. on November 16, 2017, the shipment ceremony for the integrated module of the 1-million-ton-per-year methanol converter produced by Shanghai Baoye Manufacturing for America Caribbean Gas Chemicals Company was held grandly at the Zhangjiagang Port New Heavy Equipment Loading Terminal. Bai Xiaohu, Chairman and Party Secretary of Shanghai Baoye, and Liu Hongliang, Chief Engineer ; Xu Jianbo, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Deputy Director of the Management Committee of Zhangjiagang Free Trade Zone ; TIBALLI, CEO of Italian company ITT ; Leading guests including SETOYAMA, Senior Deputy Manager of Industrial Furnace Systems at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan, were present*. Bai Xiaohu announced the start of the ceremony and, together with other guests, pressed the launch button. More than 100 people from 5 to 10 participating organizations attended the launching ceremony.
The 1-million-ton-per-year methanol converter modular project of America Caribbean Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is the first fully modular converter project undertaken by Shanghai Baoye; the entire project comprises 34 modules, including the radiation section, convection section, and roof structure. The heaviest of these radiation section modules weighs 2,346 tons in total, with each individual module having a transport weight of 1,173 tons. This is the first time in China that an entire module of a natural gas-to-methanol converter has been successfully shipped. The radiation section and roof modules were shipped by roll-on/roll-off using SPMTs (Self-Propelled Module Transporters), setting a precedent for the transformation of converter manufacturing into large-scale modular factory production and steering the direction and trends in technological development within the equipment manufacturing industry.
