Red May for chemical industry workers! Reply reward! ---------------------------------------------- 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 engage in discussions, to cheer for Made in China and to support the development of chemical processing equipment! ****************** On December 11, 2020, the large-diameter vacuum tower, a key piece of equipment for the atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit in Shenghong Refining & Chemical’s 16 million tons per year refining project, was completed and delivered by Zhanghuaji (Suzhou) Heavy Equipment Co., Ltd. It is reported that this tower has a diameter of 14 meters, a length of 58 meters, and a total weight of 1,187 tons; its main structural material consists of composite plates made of Q345R+S30408 and Q345R+S11306. To date, this is the tower-type equipment with the largest diameter among all the projects constructed.
