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 discuss these topics together; let’s cheer for Made in China and support the development of chemical processing equipment! 【Major Equipment in the Chemical Equipment Industry】168-Dalian Jinzhong constructed China National Petroleum Corporation’s first petroleum coke-based hydrogen production unit’s large-scale towers. At 1:00 p.m. on September 23, 2021, the last thousand-ton-class tower in this hydrogen production unit – Tower B for washing the reformate gas – was successfully installed in place. This is the 4th large-scale cooling tower to be hoisted into place by the PMT8 project team within 10 days, day and night. The hoisting and installation of 4 cold towers for the petroleum coke hydrogenation unit represents an important milestone in the project construction. It effectively overcomes the constraints posed by the site conditions for equipment installation, thereby creating favorable conditions for subsequent tasks such as completion of civil works, sealing of pipe racks, and equipment installation. As China National Petroleum Corporation’s first petroleum coke-based hydrogen production unit, it plays an important role in turning waste into treasure. The petroleum coke supplied from the coking unit undergoes a series of complex processing steps in the petroleum coke hydrogenation unit, ultimately producing hydrogen and fuel gas which are supplied respectively for use in oil refining and the plant’s general utilities. H2S concentration tower A/B-A is the tallest tower in the petroleum coke hydrogenation unit, as well as the second tallest tower in the project; it has a height of 95.07 meters, a diameter of 4.9 meters, and a weight of 767 tons after installation of its supporting structures. The transformed gas scrubber towers A/B are the second tallest towers in the petroleum coke hydrogenation plant; they have a height of 93.92 meters, a diameter of 3.8 meters, and a weight of 1,123 tons when equipped with their protective structures. The total lifting capacity of the 4 cranes is 5,372 tons; all of them were manufactured by Dalian Jinzhong. Jilin Huajian was responsible for installing the necessary components on them, while CNPC First Construction was in charge of the lifting operations.
