【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Processing Equipment】The First 7,000 m3 LNG Carrier Transport Tank from 1959 to 2015

Thread Content

Looking at the decade-long development of chemical technology, I praise the prosperity and strength of modern China. This is just a starting point to encourage more people to participate and make the discussion more lively. With you here, Haichuan becomes even better. [A decade of progress in chemical equipment] – continuous updates and summaries available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html. Happy National Day! ! ! ----------------------------------------- On August 20, 2015, the second tank of China’s first LNG carrier designed and built domestically, and also the largest of its kind in the country with a capacity of 14,000 m3, was successfully assembled in Jingmen, Hubei. The tank bodies fit together perfectly, fully meeting the technical requirements ； At the same time, on-site safety management achieved a \"0\" accident rate, earning high praise from both the supervisors and the owner. The LNG carrier tanks were constructed by Jingmen Hongtu, a subsidiary of CIMC AERIEN, which is a listed company under the CIMC Group. These tanks consist of two 7,000 m3 storage tanks; the inner diameter of their cylindrical shells is 16,000 mm, and their weight is 490 tons. The domestic construction of waterborne LNG carriers in China is still in its infancy. The 14,000 m3 LNG carrier currently under construction by CIMC Enrico is the first of its kind for domestic feeder LNG transport. The successful completion of this project indicates that CIMC Group now has the capability to engage in the manufacturing of large-scale international offshore natural gas transportation equipment. Throughout the project, CIMC Enric’s capabilities in technology research and development, project management, and on-site installation for the \"Hongtu\" project were significantly enhanced. This experience tested the team and employees at CIMC Enric who are involved in the manufacturing of high-end clean energy equipment, laying a solid foundation for the company to take on larger projects and face greater challenges in the future. Meanwhile, another company under CIMC Enrico – Zhangjiagang CIMC Suntain Cryogenic Equipment Co., Ltd. – has begun working on another project involving the construction of a 7,000 m3 LNG transport tank for use on ships. CIMC Enric will use this as an opportunity to continue demonstrating to the industry the company’s strong growth momentum in the field of LNG product manufacturing ； At the same time, in the future, we will continue to explore in depth integrated solutions for the manufacturing of high-end clean energy equipment and related engineering services, providing customers with one-stop services throughout the entire lifecycle.
