【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Equipment】636-2017: Novel Special-Purpose Tubes for the Production of Ethylene Oxide Reactors – Duplex Steel Tubes

Thread Content

Witness the ten-year rapid development of chemical processing equipment; praise the prosperity and strength of modern China. Replies will be rewarded – discussions are welcome. ------------------------------------------- In April 2017, Xinxing Special Tubes won a bid to supply duplex steel pipes for reactors for China National First Heavy Machinery Group. The technical requirements for tubes used in ethylene oxide reactors are very stringent, and manufacturing them is quite difficult. Previously, Yizhong relied mainly on imported products for such applications. After numerous on-site inspections and technical discussions between Yizhong and the project owners, it was concluded that Xinxing Special Tubes has the capability to produce such special types of tubes, leading to the signing of a contract with confidence. The leadership of Xingxing Special Tubes attached great importance to this order, classifying it as a five-star order under the industrial zone’s \"Star-rated Order Evaluation System\". They implemented comprehensive tracking and control over both the timeline and quality throughout the project. Relevant departments such as sales, procurement, engineering, and production were immediately mobilized; given the tight deadline and high quality requirements, they leveraged their collaborative strengths to make rapid progress in areas such as raw materials, molds, scheduling, and quality control. By addressing challenges related to the delivery time of raw materials, production timelines, and mold preparation, they developed strategies and measures to ensure that the task was completed on time and to the required standard, thus delivering another successful result in terms of timely delivery of equipment for China National Heavy Machinery Corporation. The success of this collaborative project enabled the company to not only break into the steel tube market for pressure vessels in China National Heavy Machinery Industry Corporation, but also achieve its first-ever sales in the chemical industry, specifically for ethylene oxide reactors. Emerging specialty pipes play an indispensable role in major petrochemical equipment and supplies, adding new momentum to the vigorous development of China’s petrochemical industry.
