【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Processing Equipment】616-2022: The World’s First Million-Ton Unit with a Skin-Integrated Steel Structural Intercooling Tower Featuring Five Towers in One
Thread Content
Witnessing the decade-long rapid development of chemical engineering equipment – praising the prosperous and strong China. Replies are rewarded; discussions are welcome. ------------------------------------------- The Huaneng Zhengning 2×1000 MW peak-shaving coal-fired power plant’s intercooling tower project integrates the main unit intercooling tower, auxiliary equipment cooling towers, desulfurization absorption towers, as well as the original flue ducts and chimney of the CCUS system. It is the world’s first example of a steel structure intercooling tower built within the casing of a million-kilowatt power unit, offering advantages such as reduced land use, lower safety risks, shorter construction periods, and recyclable materials. On November 8, the world’s first intercooled tower with a steel structure integrated into its skin, part of a million-kilowatt unit featuring five towers, was successfully lifted for the first time at the Huaneng Zhengning 2×1000 megawatt peak-shaving coal power project site.

“The steel structure of the \"Five Towers Integrated\" intercooler tower is entirely made of steel; it consists of a lower cone, a cylindrical tower body, reinforcement rings, an expanded platform, an upper climbing ladder, inner purlins, and aluminum plates. It is currently the largest steel structure intercooler tower in the world. The steel tower is 190.5 meters tall and has 18 floors in total; its steel structure weighs around 4,200 tons. It is one of the projects with the highest level of technological sophistication in the Huaneng Zhengning 2×1000 MW peak-shaving coal power project, and it also represents a practical example of the base’s efforts to implement the \"dual carbon\" strategic goals.
Kudos to the rapid development of equipment manufacturing!
