[Haichuan Modularization] The second section of the frame structural steel modules for Jiujiang Petrochemical’s 1.5 million tons per year aromatic compounds and refining expansion project was successfully hoisted into place
Thread Content
Recently, a significant breakthrough was achieved in the 2.6 million tons per year continuous reforming unit, which is an important part of Jiujiang Petrochemical’s 1.5 million tons per year aromatic compounds and refining upgrade project: the second section of the steel structure framework for this unit was successfully lifted into place, and welding at high altitudes was completed. This marks the entry of this unit into the critical phase of installation, and it also lays a solid foundation for the steady progress of the entire project. Jiujiang Economic Development Zone attaches great importance to project construction; district leaders have conducted multiple on-site coordination efforts regarding the transportation of large-scale equipment for the aromatic compounds project, to ensure the smooth progress of the project. The module being lifted this time is the core component within the installation, which presents the greatest technical challenges, the most complex lifting procedures, and the highest requirements in terms of control. The module is 27 meters long, 9 meters wide, and 12 meters high, with a net weight of 220 tons; it requires precise alignment and installation in a narrow working space at height. The 1.5 million tons per year aromatic compounds and refining facility upgrade project at Jiujiang Petrochemical is a major integrated petrochemical project with a total investment of over 10 billion yuan, undertaken by Sinopec Jiujiang Branch within the Jiujiang Petrochemical Industrial Park.
This project is not only a key component of the chemical industry chain under Jiangxi Province’s “1269” action plan, but it also serves as the core driving force behind Jiujiang Petrochemical’s strategic transformation from a traditional \"fuel-based enterprise\" into a modern \"refining and chemical integration enterprise\". The total investment in this project is approximately 10.6 billion yuan, with the aim of establishing a complete industrial chain that includes refining, aromatics, PTA, PET, and end products. By installing a series of advanced facilities, the project will create a new model for the integrated development of oil refining and aromatics production, significantly enhancing the availability of raw materials for downstream industries. It will also drive the overall transformation and upgrading of Jiangxi Province’s petrochemical industry, with the goal of establishing a first-class green and intelligent oil refining base in the central region. The main construction components of the project cover the oil refining and chemical industries, and specifically include: a new hydrocracking unit with a capacity of 2.6 million tons per year, a continuous reforming unit with a capacity of 2.6 million tons per year, an aromatic compounds production unit with a capacity of 1.5 million tons per year, and a PSA unit with a capacity of 180,000 standard cubic meters per hour. Upgrade the existing 1.7 million tons per year residue hydrogenation unit, and expand the 30,000 tons per year sulfur unit to 70,000 tons per year.
