Witnessing the decade-long rapid development of chemical processing equipment: Praise for China’s prosperous and strong era. Replies are rewarded; discussions are welcome. ------------------------------------------- At the end of October 2022, the first large-scale equipment for the Mobil project, namely the quench oil tower, was transported via short-distance transfer and loaded onto a ship in Xiangshan, Ningbo, by Sinopec Shipping Company, and set sail successfully. The equipment being transported this time is the quench oil tower for Mobil’s 1.6 million tons per year ethylene plant. It is the first large-scale piece of equipment to be transported as part of the Mobil project, and it is also the vertical equipment with the largest diameter – transportation of such equipment is particularly challenging due to restrictions on its height during transport, which requires it to be transported in a lowered position. This equipment was manufactured by Ningbo Tianyi Company; its diameter is 13.5 meters, its transport width is 17.13 meters, its transport height is 16.39 meters, and its transport length is 48.7 meters. The weight of the equipment itself is 1,020 tons, the five lowering saddles weigh 89 tons, and the SPMT truck’s own weight is 221 tons. Thus, the total weight of everything involved in transportation is 1,330 tons.

On October 27, 2022, the first phase of ExxonMobil’s Huizhou ethylene project achieved a major milestone since the start of its full-scale construction in November 2021: the primary fractionator, the first production unit, was successfully delivered to the project’s heavy equipment dock, marking the entry of the project into the phase of installing production equipment.
