Ten years of rapid development in chemical processing equipment – praise for China’s prosperity and strength. This is just a starting point; more participation will make things even more lively. HaiChuan becomes even better with your involvement; we welcome everyone to join in the forum discussions. Everyone should pay attention to safety and know how to handle emergencies. ********************************************* Is another new landmark being added to China’s ethylene production facilities? The No. 1 propylene column and the decarboxylation Tower 8 at the Yulong Island refining and chemical integration complex have been completed with their protective covers. The No. 1 propylene tower of the Yulong Island refining and chemical project weighs approximately 2,240 tons, has a diameter of 9.3 meters, and a height of around 109.4 meters. On June 12th, the Yulong Petrochemical Engineering Department completed the installation of the necessary components for Tower No. 1 of the #2 ethylene plant, and on the same day the tower was successfully commissioned with lighting installed, adding another new landmark to the ethylene plant.
Since the arrival of the 1# propylene tower, in order to achieve the set goal of having the tower fully equipped and operational on schedule, the project team carried out advance planning, organized tasks scientifically, and made thorough arrangements. By combining modular construction principles with the specific conditions at the site, work such as labor protection measures, installation of pipe supports, anti-corrosion painting of the tower body, insulation, installation of electrical lighting fixtures, cable laying, wiring and testing, as well as preliminary foundation inspection and treatment, was carried out starting from May 11th. In Tower 1# for propylene, a total of 490 tons of equipment platforms and personal protective equipment have been installed, along with 48 sets of lighting fixtures.
