【Major Equipment in the Chemical Equipment Industry】Overall lifting of a 90-meter-high, 80-ton pipeline with irregular shape attached to a tower, from 2048 to 2022
Thread Content
In June 2022, the first successful overall hoisting of the special-shaped attached tower pipelines for Section C of Yueneng Chemical’s 400,000 tons per year ethylene glycol production facility was completed. The success of this lifting operation has provided valuable experience for the subsequent lifting of the tower-attached pipelines with a diameter of 2.4 meters and a total weight of 80 tons, offering significant insights for future similar tasks.
The hydrogenation distillation frame’s integrated treatment tower features irregularly shaped attached pipelines with a diameter of 2.3 meters; the total length of the vertical pipelines installed is 47 meters. These pipelines are of eccentric, irregular shape, and the pipes, including insulation, weigh 64 tons. The installation height of these pipes is nearly 90 meters, with a total welding volume of 1200 inches. After the installation of the tower equipment is completed, how to safely and efficiently install the specially shaped pipelines attached to the tower becomes a key focus for the technical team. To ensure the successful overall lifting of the pipeline attached to the tower in its unconventional design for the first time, the project team carried out thorough preparations, organized tasks scientifically, and conducted precise calculations. After seeking advice from various parties, collecting relevant information, and holding discussions, it was decided to use a method of prefabrication on the ground followed by insulated lifting. Prefabricated welding on the ground ensures welding quality; overall prefabrication and lifting reduces the need for work at heights, while integrated lifting methods lower the complexity of construction, thus saving on costs while ensuring timely completion of the project.
