Its successful delivery represents a practical action by ERDEC to continuously drive China’s petrochemical industry upward in the global value chain and enhance the company’s global competitiveness, as well as a significant achievement in this regard. In early June, the 6 units of equipment for this project were gradually shipped out of the Zhenjiang factory in batches. Over three shipments, they were successfully transported to Tianjin Port via the Yangtze River, the Yellow Sea, and the Bohai Sea. The maximum weight of a single piece of equipment is over 1,000 tons, and the total weight of all equipment to be transported amounts to 5,600 tons, setting a new record for the highest transportation weight of a single petrochemical product project by Wanlu Company. The Tianjin Petrochemical project is a 2.6 million tons per year residue hydrogenation unit, part of an oil refining upgrade project undertaken by ERIC Equipment for Sinopec Tianjin Branch. It also serves as a pilot project for the in-service inspection of petrochemical containers throughout their entire life cycle at Sinopec Tianjin Branch. As a significant milestone for future in-service inspections and service life assessments of petrochemical containers in China, this project will transform the structure of products in the petrochemical industry and create new sources of economic benefit. The series of products for the Tianjin hydrogenation project shipped this time had their cylinders, small and medium-sized components, etc. finely processed, surfaced, and all associated accessories manufactured by ERCC Nuclear Power & Petrochemical Company. After that, they were transferred to Zhenjiang Company for welding and assembly before being produced. Once they reached Tianjin Port upstream from the Yangtze River docks, ERCC Wanlu Company was responsible for transporting the entire equipment to the installation site.
