en.Wedoany.com Reported - With a long blast of the whistle at the Maoming Petrochemical Port Terminal in Guangdong, China, a colossal unit—over 50 meters long, more than 20 meters wide, nearly 50 meters high, and weighing over 2,000 tons—the ethylene cracking furnace module for CNOOC and Shell Huizhou Phase III was officially shipped, embarking on its journey to the Huizhou Daya Bay Petrochemical Park.
The CNOOC and Shell Huizhou Phase III Ethylene Project is a national major strategic integrated refining and chemical engineering project, with a total investment of 48 billion yuan. Upon completion, the total ethylene production capacity will increase to 3.8 million tons per year, making it the largest single-site ethylene production base in China. As the "heart" of the project's core facilities, the technical level and manufacturing quality of the 1.6 million tons/year ethylene cracking furnace directly determine the operational efficiency and safety stability of the entire plant.
The cracking furnace module shipped this time was manufactured by Maoming Gravity Petrochemical Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Maoming Gravity"). This equipment adopts a fully modular design, manufacturing, transportation, and installation approach, including complete internal components such as primary quench heat exchangers, achieving a "plug-and-play" integrated supply for the super-large ethylene cracking furnace. The cracking furnace body is over 50 meters long, more than 20 meters wide, nearly 50 meters high, with a total weight exceeding 2,000 tons—equivalent to a 15-story "steel building" or the weight of over a thousand cars.
At the shipment ceremony, a representative from Sinopec Engineering Construction Co., Ltd. pointed out that this shipment marks a significant breakthrough in the integrated modular application of super-large petrochemical equipment in China, showcasing the collaborative innovation advantages in design, manufacturing, and construction.
