First lifting of equipment for the FDPE unit in Nantong Blue Sea New Materials’ full-density polyethylene project

Thread Content

On January 25, the FDPE plant constructed by the full-density polyethylene project team of Nantong Blue Sea New Materials reached a key milestone: the light-end removal tower (3200-C-3201) was successfully hoisted into place. As the first lifting equipment among the 6 towers of this facility, the successful completion of this initial lift has laid the foundation for the subsequent centralized lifting of similar equipment. It also marks the full commencement of the installation work on the large towers of this facility, holding milestone significance for the overall progress of the project. The degassing tower is one of the key process equipment in FDPE plants. With its various components in place, the total weight of this equipment is 265 tons; it is 51.56 meters tall and has a diameter of 4 meters. It features significant characteristics such as a large size and strict requirements regarding lifting precision. To ensure the successful completion of the lifting task, the project team carefully planned the lifting strategy, adopting a collaborative approach in which the XGC16000 1250-ton crawler crane was used as the main crane and the CC2200 350-ton crawler crane as the auxiliary crane, to precisely carry out key operations such as turning the equipment over, lifting it, and positioning it in place. The entire lifting process was well-controlled and orderly, with all technical parameters strictly meeting the requirements of the plan, resulting in a successful lift on the first attempt.
