Ranked first in Asia for chemical plant rainwater and spill containment systems – safety first. Prevention first: Let’s give recognition and support to the achievements made in China’s chemical engineering technology and equipment. **********************【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Engineering Equipment】A continuously updated summary post is available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum Website) ***************** In mid-July 2024, the concrete for the final section of the wall of the rainwater and accident storage tanks in China Petroleum’s Guangxi Petrochemical integration and transformation project was poured – this project is currently the largest of its kind in Asia, ranking first in terms of tank volume and amount of concrete used in construction. With the completion of this task, the main structure of the project has been successfully completed, marking the end of the construction phase of this integration project. The main structure has been successfully closed and assembled, marking the successful completion of the main structure work for this integrated project. The main structure of this pool consists of a rainwater monitoring tank and an accident tank; the rainwater tank is used primarily to collect clean rainwater from the chemical processing area for reuse ； The accident tank is primarily used to collect various types of wastewater generated in the event of an accident within the chemical industry area. The external geometric dimensions of the pool are 355 meters in length, 110 meters in width, and 5.6 meters in depth. The bottom slab of the pool is 0.6 meters thick, while the pool walls are 0.4 meters thick. It covers an area of 40,000 cubic meters, with a capacity of 200,000 cubic meters. Since the construction began, Guangxi Petrochemical has overcome adverse conditions such as high temperatures, humidity, and heavy rainfall in summer, as well as constraints like a limited construction site and difficulties in transporting materials horizontally and vertically. Over a period of 6.5 months, it removed 300,000 cubic meters of soil, completed 5,042 foundation piles for the pool, used 55,000 cubic meters of commercial concrete and more than 9,000 tons of steel bars, thereby completing all tasks related to the construction of the pool’s main structure 20 days ahead of schedule. The successful closure of the main structure of this pool enables rainwater collection, which can be used for water storage tests in large on-site tanks and large-capacity pools. This helps to reduce the consumption of water for temporary construction purposes, thereby improving efficiency and quality during the project construction phase. At the same time, the sedimentation function of rainwater ponds helps to reduce the amount of sediment that enters the sea with rainwater, thereby effectively lowering environmental risks. ***********
