[Haichuan Overseas Engineering] The first demethanization tower for the ethane recovery project in the UAE has been successfully lifted into place

Thread Content

Recently, the first demethanization tower for the ethane recovery project in the UAE, undertaken by Wujian Company, was successfully lifted into place, marking the official entry of the project into the equipment installation phase. The project features 3 demethanization towers. After carrying out associated work such as the installation of platforms around the towers and insulation work on the ground, lifting operations are carried out using a 1,600-ton crawler crane as the main lifting device and an 800-ton crawler crane to assist in the lifting process. This approach effectively improves installation accuracy and construction efficiency, while significantly reducing costs. During the construction period, the project team established specialized technical and safety teams to oversee the entire process, strictly adhering to safety and environmental protection standards to ensure smooth and orderly progress. Additionally, 3D visualization technology was used to create high-precision briefing videos, enabling coordinated briefings across various specialties and highlighting the advantages of digital technology. At present, the project team is focusing on the scheduled milestones, working backwards to develop a construction plan, and making every effort to accelerate the installation of the steel structure. Meanwhile, it is advancing preliminary tasks such as the installation of scaffolding and pipelines sowie equipment debugging, thereby creating favorable conditions for the subsequent installation of pipelines and electrical and instrumentation systems.
