On May 5, the recycle gas temperature regulator for the methanol synthesis unit in Phase 1 of the second phase of Yulin Chemical Project owned by Shaanxi Coal Group was successfully lifted and installed in place, thanks to the general contracting efforts of China National Chemical Engineering Corporation Donghua. This marked the successful achievement of the key milestone related to the lifting of this large-scale equipment. It is reported that the circulating gas temperature regulator being lifted this time is the core heat exchange equipment in the methanol synthesis plant; it belongs to a large-scale high-pressure heat exchange pressure vessel, standing 20.2 meters tall, with a diameter of 2.2 meters and a net weight of 143 tons. It features a large overall weight, compact structural dimensions, and demanding operating conditions. The project team has refined the procedures and defined responsibilities for every aspect of the work: from the route for bringing in the equipment, to the calibration of the lifting equipment, to the determination of the lifting points and the assessment of the site’s load-bearing capacity; from the establishment of safety barriers on site to the assignment of tasks to various personnel. They have thoroughly identified potential safety risks and developed comprehensive emergency response measures to ensure a smooth progress of the lifting operations. The successful lifting and installation of the first large-scale equipment this time has provided valuable practical experience for the subsequent lifting of various other large-scale devices. It has further streamlined the key processes in the project construction, offering strong support for the timely progress of the entire project.
