The aromatics extraction unit of Tarim’s 1.2 million tons/year Phase II ethylene project has completed the lifting of oversized equipment

On March 10, 2025, at the site of Tarim’s 1.2 million tons per year Phase II ethylene project operated by Dushanzi Petrochemical Company, the lifting team from CPECC First Construction Company successfully lifted the solvent recovery tower for the project’s 250,000 tons per year aromatic extraction unit. This marked the successful installation of the two hundred-ton class heavy equipment in that facility area.
It is reported that the solvent recovery tower equipment arrives as a complete unit. After completing tasks such as installing labor protection facilities, building platforms, and attaching pipelines to the tower, its weight reaches 125 tons, with a lifting capacity of up to 159.7 tons. The on-site construction team employed the \"single-main-crane lifting and delivery method\" for the work, using a CC6800 type 1250t crawler crane as the main lifting crane, while also deploying an SCC5000A type 500t crawler crane to assist with lifting the rear part. The two cranes performed their respective tasks in close coordination, ensuring the balance and stability of the equipment during lifting. When the 500-ton structure was moved to its intended location, the main crane lifted the tower, moved it around, and rotated it 90 degrees; with a lifting radius of 2.9 meters, it was able to place the structure precisely on the designated base, thus providing a solid foundation for a successful lift.
