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 in China’s chemical industry, marked by the emergence of many new processes, products, and equipment. China’s chemical equipment sector has also seen significant progress, which has contributed to the swift advancement of the petrochemical industry. 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, discuss, and exchange ideas – let’s cheer for Made in China and support the development of chemical equipment! ------------------------------------------------------ On March 18, 2021, at the Shanghai Jinshan Chemical Industrial Park, the gas lift topping construction for a 40,000-cubic-meter low-temperature liquid ammonia storage tank as part of the Shanghai Fubao project, which was independently designed by Wuhan Wuhuan, was successfully completed in one go. The roof-lifting operation for this liquid ammonia storage tank represents the first time that pneumatic roof lifting has been used in bimetallic cryogenic storage tanks designed by Wuhan Wuhuan. This topping-up work involves the 40,000-cubic-meter low-temperature liquid ammonia storage tank in Tank Area 15#, which features a double-metal wall full-volume tank structure and fully meets international advanced standards. The tank is designed with a capacity of 40,000 cubic meters; its outer diameter is 45.8 meters, and its total weight is approximately 2,300 tons ； The vault features a latitude and longitude framework structure, weighing about 400 tons. On December 31, 2021, the mechanical construction of the Project 15# and 16# tank farms was completed, and the project officially entered the commissioning and testing phase.
