1960 ton equipment successfully installed! On April 26, 2023, SPCECC successfully lifted the heaviest equipment of the 1 # 1.5 million/year ethylene plant, the quench oil tower, into position for the Shandong Yulong Refining and Chemical Integration Project (Phase I), marking a critical stage for the large-scale lifting of the project.

The emergency cooling oil tower (C-1501) lifted this time is the equipment with the largest weight of 1.5 million tons/year ethylene plant in Yulong Island Refining and Chemical Integrated Project 1 # and 2 #, and the overall dimensions of the equipment are Φ 12600 * 65000 * 36 mm, transported to the construction site as a whole. After the staff completed the installation of the attached tower pipeline, ladder platform, and anti-corrosion insulation on the ground, the overall lifting was carried out. The total lifting weight reached 1960 tons, and the lifting task was heavy and difficult.

To ensure the smooth completion of this lifting task, the SPCECC lifting team carefully surveyed and accurately measured the lifting site in advance. Based on the actual situation on site, a special lifting plan was prepared and approved by the company's technical department. This lifting adopts the "single host lifting and delivery method" lifting process, with a 4000 ton crawler crane serving as the main crane and an 800 ton crawler crane assisting in tail sliding. After 3 hours of cooperation between the two cranes, the equipment is successfully installed in place, and the entire lifting process is safe, stable, orderly, and efficient.

It is reported that the Shandong Yulong Refining and Chemical Integration Project (Phase I) is a key construction project of the national "14th Five Year Plan" and a large-scale petrochemical model project for industrial structure adjustment, transformation and upgrading, and improving the level of refining and chemical integration in Shandong Province. The investment is about 127.4 billion yuan, and it is planned to build a crude oil processing capacity of 20 million tons/year and 2 × 1.5 million tons/year ethylene plant. After the completion of the project, it will become a concentration area for high-end petrochemical, new materials, and high-end manufacturing industries with international influence, as well as a world-class green petrochemical industry base. At the same time, it will integrate and drive the coordinated development of Shandong Province's 130 million ton refining industry. Editor/Sang Xiaomei
