【Major Industrial Equipment in the Chemical Industry】070 – The world’s largest open-air ground torch
Thread Content
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 increased use of domestic equipment. We invite everyone to share their insights and engage in discussions, to cheer for Made in China and to support the development of chemical processing equipment! *********************************** On April 18, 2019, the world’s largest open-air ground torch, developed by the 711 Institute, was successfully ignited all at once. Zhejiang Petrochemical’s open-type above-ground flares represent the largest single-contract value flare turnkey project undertaken by 711 Institute. They include chemical industry above-ground flares, ethylene above-ground flares, styrene above-ground flares, and PX above-ground flares; all four of these open-type above-ground flares are among the largest of their kind in the world. Through the joint efforts of the project team and all participating units, the construction of the four torches was completed in just 7 months. The project achieved successful first ignition, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent smooth operation of the torch.

Zhejiang Petrochemical also has a public overhead flare tower, right?
Following the successful delivery of the first-phase flare project at Zhejiang Petrochemical, this project is the largest and most valuable flare turnkey contract undertaken by 711 Institute, comprising three open-air ground flares.
Institute 711 is truly remarkable; it has few R&D and design professionals yet manages to undertake key large-scale projects – truly impressive.
