【Major Chemical Equipment】088 – The world’s largest and heaviest PDH project’s propane-propylene separation tower
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 greater 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 September 28, 2019, the core equipment for the propylene dehydrogenation (PDH) unit of Guangxi Hua Yi New Materials Co., Ltd.’s 750,000 tons per year propylene and downstream processing integrated project – namely the propylene-propane separation tower and the degasification stripper – manufactured by Suzhou HaiLu Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. – was successfully shipped. It is understood that the separation tower manufactured by HaiLu Heavy Industry has a diameter of 10.6 meters, a height of 115 meters, and a weight of around 1,600 tons; it is considered a giant among propane dehydrogenation units ； The deethanization stripper has a maximum diameter of about 7.3 meters, a length of about 67 meters, and a weight of about 1,100 tons. Both of these devices are large-scale equipment in the petrochemical equipment sector, and they place high demands on the manufacturing capabilities as well as the comprehensive service capabilities of the companies that produce them.

On January 25, 2021, a grand ceremony was held at Guangxi Huayi New Materials Co., Ltd. to lift the 4,000-ton heavy equipment for the 750,000 tons per year propylene and downstream processing integrated project. At the site, the XGC88000 model 4,000-ton crawler crane (Unit 1) successfully lifted the propylene-propane separation tower of the propylene dehydrogenation unit into place. The propylene-propane separation tower of the propane dehydrogenation unit has an internal diameter of 10.6 meters, a maximum outer diameter of the skirt section of 12.94 meters, and a total height of 113.7 meters. The weight of the unit before installation is 1,545 tons, while its weight after installation is 1,774 tons; it is the largest and heaviest propylene-propane separation tower in China.
