On January 7, the second batch of large-scale reformation oil separation tower equipment for the Jiujiang Petrochemical upgrading project was shipped. It is reported that on January 6, with the transport ship carrying the reformate separation tower docking at China Railway Jiuqiao Terminal, all of the second batch of large-scale equipment for the 1.5 million tons per year aromatic compounds and refinery upgrading project arrived at the site successfully. Starting from December 31, 2025, the first shipment containing a disproportionation stripper and disproportionation feed/effluent heat exchangers arrived at China Railway Jiuqiao Wharf, marking the beginning of the second phase of transporting large-scale equipment via overhead cranes. This batch of cross-hooking equipment consists of 4 units, including the disproportionation stripping tower, disproportionation reactor, disproportionation feed and product heat exchangers, and reformate separation tower. Among them, the reformate separation tower was shipped in two sections. Since this batch of equipment involved multiple manufacturers, transportation coordination faced various challenges such as scattered production sites, complex alignment of delivery dates, and specific unloading requirements at the Tieluqiao Port, which significantly increased the difficulties in management and coordination. Furthermore, to ensure that this batch of critical equipment arrives safely and on time, Jiujiang Petrochemical stated that the Materials Center carried out thorough planning and scientific arrangements, while strengthening oversight of the manufacturing process. Real-time tracking of the cargo’s movement throughout the process helped overcome various challenges, ensuring that large-scale equipment arrived on time and could be unloaded from the ship promptly. It is reported that the entire transportation task was completed by February 3. Currently, all relevant parties involved in the project are working closely together to lay a solid foundation for the smooth transportation and installation of subsequent equipment.
