Red May for chemical industry workers! Reply reward! ---------------------------------------------- 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 discuss these topics together; let’s cheer for Made in China and support the development of chemical processing equipment! ===================== On February 14, 2022, the two hydrogenation reactors and two first-stage PTA crystallizers for Hengli Petrochemical (Huizhou) Co., Ltd.’s 2×2.5 million tons/year PTA project, which were manufactured by Lanxi Heavy Equipment Qingdao Company, were completed and shipped. The hydrogenation reactor for this project has a diameter of 5400 mm, a wall thickness of 216 mm, and a weight of approximately 574 tons per unit. The inner wall is fully cladded with Hastelloy welding materials (E309L+C276), and advanced electromagnetic induction welding followed by heat treatment technology is used for the assembly joints – making it the first of its kind in China.
