【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Equipment】Anhydride reactor with an on-site manufacturing weight of 460 tons, 1999–2023
Thread Content
Ten years of rapid development in chemical processing equipment – praise for China’s prosperity and strength. This is just a starting point; more participation from everyone will make things even more lively. HaiChuan becomes even better with your involvement; we welcome everyone to take an active part in the forum discussions. With the high temperatures in July, be careful to prevent fires. ********************************************* On July 1, 2023, the first large-scale equipment for the Qingdao Refining and Chemical Industry succinic anhydride project, namely the succinic anhydride reactor, was successfully transported and installed in one go, thanks to the leadership of Shanghai Engineering Company in overseeing the overall construction. This marked the official start of the lifting operations for the large-scale equipment on site, and the installation phase entered its peak stage. The first reactor of this project weighs 460 tons, and a ZCC12500 type 1250-ton crawler crane was used for its lifting. The project team continuously optimized and refined the construction plan, increased investment in safety measures, ensuring the successful lifting of the reactor in one attempt. This approach laid a foundation and set a benchmark for the subsequent lifting of larger components.
On February 9, 2023, at the construction site of the Qingdao Refining & Chemical LPG Safety Improvement Project (Maleic Anhydride), the first large-scale piece of equipment manufactured locally – the main reactor – was successfully lifted after being turned over for the first time. The main reactor is the core equipment of the facility, with a net weight of 450 tons. The successful lifting this time has laid a solid foundation for the smooth progress of the heavy-lifting work for this project. It also marks the successful implementation of the localization efforts for this reactor.
Larger size and modularity are the trends in development
