【Major Chemical Equipment in China】072 – Yantai Wanhua’s 1 million-ton ethylene cracking furnace complex modules
Thread Content
The past decade has been a period of rapid development in 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! *********************************** On the afternoon of November 2, 2018, the first shipment of the first batch for Yantai Wanhua’s 1 million-ton ethylene cracker unit modular construction project, undertaken by Penglai Jutao, was successfully delivered. The project mainly involves the construction of 22 main structural modules, including the radiation section, as well as some spare parts, with a total weight of approximately 2,070 tons. Work on the project began with material cutting on July 18 this year. During the construction process, the project team and the construction workers took proactive measures to prevent deformation, given the project’s structural characteristics such as large module sizes, thin plate thicknesses, and weak supports. They also strengthened dimension control. After more than three months of intensive work, the first batch – 5 modules – passed the owner’s inspection at the end of October and were ready for delivery. As planned, the first batch’s second vessel will be ready for delivery in mid-to-late November, while the two vessels in the second batch will complete final delivery in mid-to-early December.

Offshore engineering companies can now also produce modules for the radiation section of pyrolysis furnaces, and competition in this market is fierce.
Offshore engineering companies originally started by dealing in modules; they are more or less the same
16.8 billion: Installation of the cracker for Yantai Wanhua’s 1 million tons/year ethylene project begins 2019-10-15 13:05 On October 3, with the assistance of a 1,000-ton crawler crane for lifting and an 80-ton crawler crane for guiding, the first quencher for Yantai Wanhua’s 1 million tons/year ethylene cracker, constructed by Shijian Company, was successfully installed, marking the start of the installation process for the cracker’s quenchers. The ethylene project is equipped with a total of 6 cracking furnaces; furnaces 1 to 5 each consist of 8 primary quenchers and 2 secondary quenchers. The primary quenchers have dimensions of 24 meters by 3.8 meters and weigh 30 tons each ； The secondary quencher is 14 meters by 2.2 meters and weighs 56.1 tons. Criser No. 6 includes 3 primary quenchers and 2 secondary quenchers. The primary quenchers have dimensions of 21 meters by 7 meters and weigh 24 tons each, while the secondary quenchers have dimensions of 7.6 meters by 2 meters and weigh 28 tons, and 14 meters by 2.5 meters and weigh 52 tons.
