[Haichuan Modularization] The 1.6 million tons/year ethylene cracker for SinoShell Huizhou Phase III was shipped in its entirety from Maoming

Thread Content

On April 8, the whistles at Maoming Petrochemical Port blared as a \"giant\" – an ethylene cracker module measuring over 50 meters in length, over 20 meters in width, nearly 50 meters in height, and weighing more than 2,000 tons – was officially shipped off for delivery to the Daya Bay Petrochemical Zone in Huizhou. CNOOC Shell Huizhou Phase III Ethylene Project is a **major strategic integrated refining and chemical complex** with a total investment of 48 billion yuan. Once completed, its total ethylene production capacity will reach 3.8 million tons per year, making it the largest single ethylene production facility in China. As the \"heart\" of the project’s core equipment, the technical level and manufacturing quality of the 1.6 million tons per year ethylene cracker directly determine the operational efficiency and safety stability of the entire facility. The pyrolyzer modules shipped this time were manufactured by Maoming Gravity Petrochemical Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Maoming Gravity”). This equipment features a modular design for manufacturing, transportation, and installation as a complete unit, including all internal components such as primary quench heat exchangers, thereby enabling an \"plug-and-play\" delivery of ultra-large ethylene cracking furnaces. The body of the pyrolysis furnace is over 50 meters long, more than 20 meters wide, and nearly 50 meters high; its total weight exceeds 2,000 tons, which is equivalent to that of a 15-story \"steel building\" and roughly equal to the weight of over a thousand cars.
