On March 10, the erection of 5 epoxidation reactors for the 300,000-ton/year propylene oxide plant in Guangxi Huayi Chlor-alkali Chemical Co., Ltd.’s integrated project for propylene oxide production via the hydrogen peroxide method and polyether polyols was successfully completed. The successful lifting of the epoxidation reactor is not only an important milestone in the construction of the HPPO project but also a key stage in the third phase of the Wanhua Qinzhou facility; it marks the entry of the project construction into its critical installation phase. On March 8, Guangxi Huayi Chlor-alkali Chemical Co., Ltd. held a lifting ceremony. The 5 epoxy reactors lifted this time used a 1,250-ton CC8800 type crawler crane as the main crane, equipped with a 84-meter main boom for lifting operations, while a 750-ton crawler crane was used as the auxiliary crane, also with a 48-meter main boom for lifting tasks. All lifting operations were successfully completed within three days. As the core equipment of the project, Guangxi Huayi Chlor-alkali Chemical Co., Ltd. attaches great importance to the lifting operation of the epoxidation reactor. The project construction team made full use of its initiative, actively coordinated various resources, monitored the equipment manufacturing process throughout the whole process, and resolved various issues in a timely manner to ensure that the equipment was delivered to the project site gradually via sea and land transport by March 7th. To ensure the success of the lifting operation, the project team organized everything carefully and made scientific arrangements. The technical team conducted repeated evaluations and optimizations of the lifting plan, paying close attention to every detail to guarantee its scientific validity and feasibility. At the same time, a comprehensive inspection of the lifting machinery is carried out to completely eliminate potential safety hazards. Through close collaboration and efficient coordination with all participating parties, the key stages such as the manufacturing, transportation, and installation of large-scale equipment were successfully completed.
It is reported that each of the 5 epoxy reactors lifted this time is 10.5 meters high, 4.8 meters in diameter, and weighs 415 tons. A 1,250-ton CC8800 type crawler crane was used as the main crane, equipped with a 84-meter main boom for lifting operations; in addition, a 750-ton crawler crane was used as an auxiliary crane, also equipped with a 48-meter main boom. It took three days to complete all the lifting tasks successfully. The epoxidation reactor serves as the core equipment of the project. The equipment was delivered to the project site in stages via sea and land transport on March 7. On March 8, a lifting ceremony was held.
