Happy May Day! Reply rewards! ---------------------------------------------- The past ten years have been an era of great development for China's chemical industry. The emergence of many new processes, new products, and new equipment has also led to a great development in my country's chemical equipment, which has also promoted the rapid development of the petrochemical industry. Here we have collected and sorted out some of the achievements and breakthroughs made by my country's equipment companies in the large-scale and localization of equipment. Welcome everyone to share, discuss, and exchange, cheer for Made in China, and cheer for chemical equipment! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * On January 4, 2016, the Wuchang Shipbuilding Project Team began hoisting the joints of the third and fourth sections of the quenching oil tower of the Sinochem Quanzhou Ethylene and Refinery Renovation and Expansion Project. The overall assembly and welding work of the two tower terminals entered the final stage of closing the large sections. The total weight of the quenching oil and quenching water tower equipment is 1,640t, with a diameter of more than 10m. They are key equipment for the Sinochem Quanzhou ethylene and refining expansion project. The peak construction period is in winter, and the tower construction work is greatly affected by factors such as rain, snow, strong winds, and low temperatures. In order to speed up the construction progress, the project team took the measure of reducing the number of sections of the quenching water tower from the original five sections to three sections for overall assembly, which reduced the difficulty of lowering large sections to assemble the large opening in the later stage. At the same time, the number of on-site riveting and welding personnel was increased, and 24-hour shift operations were carried out. Fire-resistant rainproof cloth was used to protect against wind and rain in bad weather to ensure that the construction was not affected by the weather and that the project was handed over as planned.
The diameter of the quenching water tower is 11,400mm, which is the largest piece of equipment in the branch’s overall manufacturing and shipping diameter. The equipment has large tonnage and many internal parts, especially the oil-water separator, the core component of the equipment, which weighs 185t and has a total of 45 layers and 90 folding plates. The process requirements are high and the deformation is difficult to control. The project team adopted measures such as segmented production and adding positioning boards to speed up the project progress.
