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 engage more in discussions on this forum. Be careful with fire as the heat increases in July. --------------------------------------------On July 15, 2023, the first batch of products from the 1.2 million tons per year ethylene and related high-end polyolefin production project in Wanhua’s Yantai industrial park, which was constructed by Hailu Heavy Industry, were delivered – specifically, towers No. 1 and No. 2 for propylene distillation. The completion of these large-scale towers for Wanhua Chemical represents a milestone for Hailu Heavy Industry. The No. 1 and No. 2 propylene distillation towers delivered this time are core static equipment for the ethylene plant; among them, the No. 2 propylene distillation tower was the first piece of equipment to be lifted for the ethylene project. This tower has an inner diameter of 9.4 meters, a wall thickness of 72 millimeters, and a length of 99.75 meters, with a net weight of 2,063 tons upon shipment. At the beginning of the project, to ensure the smooth progress of on-site construction, Wanhua’s progress control team worked together with the Marine & Land Containers division to make reasonable arrangements and meticulous plans, thereby formulating the optimal production strategy. Ultimately, while ensuring quality, the product delivery task was successfully completed 15 days ahead of schedule. Units 1 and 2 of the propylene distillation towers for this project were delivered ahead of schedule, which effectively ensured the timely completion of the project’s milestones and marked the beginning of the construction of Wanhua’s second-phase large ethylene project.
