Successful first lifting of the core reactor for CNOOC Shell PMT8 polycarbonate project undertaken by Sinochem Third Construction Company 2025-12-26 Recently, the reactor R-001A, the key equipment for the BPA unit in the CNOOC Shell PMT8 polycarbonate project, was successfully lifted for the first time by the South China branch of Sinochem Engineering Third Construction Co., Ltd., marking the official transition of this project from the construction phase to the equipment installation phase. As a key equipment for the polycarbonate project, the R-001A reactor has a single-unit weight of 155.35 tons, with a diameter of 6.6 meters and a length of 13.45 meters. Its lifting is carried out using a 400-ton crawler crane as the main lifting device and a 250-ton crawler crane as an auxiliary device; this requires high levels of technical skill and strict coordination. To ensure the successful completion of the lifting task, the project team made full use of its professional expertise and organizational capabilities, carried out thorough planning, optimized the lifting plan on multiple occasions, carefully planned the route for the equipment to be delivered to the site, and efficiently completed the assembly and testing of the 400-ton SCC4000 crawler crane ； Work closely with the owner, supervisor, and transportation agencies to scientifically coordinate the arrival of equipment and the lifting processes, ensuring seamless integration between all stages ； The lifting operation specifications were strictly followed, with precise control over the equipment’s center of gravity and spatial positioning; technical challenges were effectively overcome to ensure the safe and accurate placement of the reactor. This earned high recognition from the client and fully demonstrated the professional expertise of Sinochem Sanhua Construction in the field of lifting large-scale equipment.
