Witnessing the decade-long rapid development of chemical processing equipment: Praise for China’s prosperous and strong era. Replies are rewarded; discussions are welcome. ------------------------------------------- On November 11, 2022, the first unit of the diesel hydrogenation project at Shandong Yulong Petrochemical was successfully installed – the hydrocracking reactor with an annual capacity of 3.6 million tons. This equipment belongs to category III pressure vessels; it has a diameter of 5 meters, a height of 34.97 meters, and a net weight of 789 tons. As soon as the reactor arrived at the site, preparations for lifting began. After a day of preparation, the lifting operations started on the day following its arrival. With the assistance of a 4,500-ton crawler crane for the main lifting and a 1,000-ton crawler crane for assisting with the lifting, the reactor was successfully lifted into place in just four hours.
