Comply with the Work Safety Law! Take on the role of the primary responsible person! ---------------------------------------------- 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. China’s chemical processing equipment has also seen significant progress, which has contributed to the swift development 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 increased use of domestic equipment. We invite everyone to share their insights and engage in discussions – let’s cheer for Made in China and support the advancement of chemical processing equipment! ------------------------------------------------------ The \"PO reactor for Jiangsu Ruiheng’s 400,000-ton annual propylene oxide production project\", manufactured by Zhongsheng Technology, was successfully delivered, and a delivery ceremony was held at the manufacturing facility in Zhenjiang. The PO reactor for the 400,000-ton propylene oxide project delivered this time has a diameter of 5.3 meters and a weight of nearly 700 tons; it is the largest-sized twisted-tube heat exchanger ever manufactured by Zhongsheng Technology to date. The core technologies used as well as the manufacturing processes employed are at an advanced level in China, further filling a gap in the field of major domestic equipment and demonstrating thoroughly Zhongsheng Technology’s capabilities in technological innovation and high-end manufacturing. Sinochem International’s C3 project is key to establishing a complete industrial chain for new materials, creating an integrated circular industry base, and achieving industrial transformation as well as the implementation of strategic plans. One of these project phases is to be carried out by Jiangsu Ruiheng; with propane dehydrogenation as the core of the industrial chain, it will expand downstream to build facilities for producing C3 derivatives such as propylene oxide, chloropropene oxide, phenol propyl ether, and bisphenol A. The total investment for the first phase of the Carbon Three project is 13.9 billion yuan, and it is planned to build facilities with an annual production capacity of 600,000 tons of PDH, 650,000 tons of phenol propionate, 240,000 tons of bisphenol A, 400,000 tons of PO, and 150,000 tons of ECH. At present, the auxiliary facilities for Project Carbon Three Phase I have been put into use; the epichlorohydrin production complex is fully operational and is producing qualified products. The other production units are under active construction, and they will be handed over and brought online for trial production in the second half of this year.
