【Major Equipment in the Chemical Equipment Industry】089 – Modular Reactor Feed Heater and Fractionator Feed Heater for Wax Oil Hydroprocessing Units
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 localization of such equipment. We invite everyone to share their insights and discuss these topics together, to cheer for Made in China and to support the development of chemical processing equipment! *********************************** From August 23 to 27, 2021, the reaction feed heater (F-0101) and the fractionator feed heater (F-0201) of Guangdong Petrochemical’s 4.2 million tons per year wax oil hydrogenation unit were successfully installed on-site, setting a record as the largest such installation for a single unit at Guangdong Petrochemical and as the first time such a modular furnace has been installed in China’s petroleum industry.
Both heating furnaces were prefabricated in a factory, assembled, and then transported as a whole by barge to the site for installation. Among them, the F-0201 heating furnace is 16.5 meters long, 16 meters wide, and 29.6 meters high, with a weight of 660 tons. It is the first heating furnace in the Guangdong Petrochemical project to be installed in a fully modular manner, and it is also the largest heating furnace to arrive as a complete unit.
