On December 20, 2025, with the light aromatic hydrocarbon separation tower properly in place, Sinopec Qiyun Company successfully completed the task of lifting and transporting the first large-scale equipment for the aromatic hydrocarbon project in Jiujiang, Jiangxi. The light aromatic hydrocarbons separation tower that was lifted this time is a \"giant\" device, 100 meters in length and weighing 920 tons. At 9:17 a.m. on that day, once the command was given, a 4,000-ton class crawler crane and a 1,000-ton tailer crane worked together to lift the device with precision; all stages of the lifting process, including lifting, rotating, and positioning, were carried out accurately and under control. It is reported that this successful lifting is a testament to the preliminary planning, coordination among various parties, and efforts made in technological innovation. The project team innovatively adopted a \"river-sea combined transport + overall transshipment + overall lifting\" approach, enabling the efficient delivery of equipment via water routes and significantly improving operational efficiency and safety. During the lifting phase, the main crane and the tail-guiding system worked together efficiently to overcome spatial constraints, enabling precise positioning to within millimeters; as a result, the 100-meter-tall tower was erected steadily. It is reported that the project team adheres to a management philosophy of \"safety as the foundation, quality as the core, and schedule as a priority,\" and through close collaboration between the government and enterprises as well as efficient coordination, ensures smooth progression at each stage. Multiple rounds of scenario planning and dynamic allocation of resources optimized the configuration, enabling effective handling of challenges such as passing through urban areas, coordinating across departments, and carrying out intensive construction, ultimately resulting in a flawless lifting operation with zero errors. The success of this thousand-ton lifting is not only an important milestone in the project construction but also lays a foundation for subsequent construction work.
