ZHOUSHAN, China, June 12, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (HKG: 0386, "Sinopec"), China's leading

energy and chemical company, has successfully installed the world's first and

largest slurry-bed residue hydrogenation reactor of 3,000 tonnage in 15 hours

on June 10 in Zhoushan, China, setting China's new record of highest integral

hoisting weight by a single equipment.

Designed by Sinopec Engineering, the largest single-unit hydrogenation reactor

in the world weighs 3,025 tons, which is the equivalent of 17 blue whales, the

biggest animal on earth, and has a height of 72 meters (236.2 feet) that

corresponds to a 26-story building. The reactor's outside diameter is 6.156

meters (20.2 feet) and has a wall thickness of 320mm. It's the core equipment

of Zhejiang Petroleum & Chemical's 40-million-ton/year refining-chemical

integration project, phase II.

The record-breaking installation adopted the 5,200-ton slidable hydraulic

gantry lifting system for the main hoisting task, and a 2,000-ton XGC28000

crawler crane coordinated the lift from the other end.

The 5,200-ton hydraulic gantry lifting system has the advantages of lifting

heavy weights, shifting integrally, and requiring fewer steps of assembly &

disassembly of the middle tower, this solution effectively minimized the impact

on the construction site and shortened the overall construction period.

The 5,200-ton hydraulic gantry lifting system will be relocated integrally to

prepare for the lifting and installation of the second hydrogenation reactor,

it will complete six more similar hoisting tasks in the coming months.
