This project achieved a \"Zhanghua Machine speed\" of 130 days for the production of the atmospheric pressure tower, setting a new record for the fastest manufacturing time for large thin-walled composite plate trays of this type of tower; the typical production time for such heavy-duty towers is 6 to 8 months. The atmospheric distillation column, the core equipment of the vacuum distillation unit manufactured by Zhanghua Machinery this time, has a diameter of 9.8 meters, a total length of 73.15 meters, and a total weight of 838 tons. It is the atmospheric distillation column with the largest diameter and greatest weight among those used in domestic oil refining projects. It belongs to the category of ultra-thin-walled, large-diameter composite plate columns, and its production presents considerable challenges. This equipment is used in Shenghong Refining’s 16 million tons per year oil refining project, which has been included by the State Council in the \"Petroleum and Chemical Industry Planning Scheme\" as a project that receives **priority support.
