【Color Masterbatch Industry Network】July 29, News – The Huajin Aramco Fine Chemical and Raw Material Engineering Project in Panjin, Liaoning Province, has recently achieved a significant milestone. Between July 19th and 21st, the project successfully completed the delivery and installation of the first batch of large equipment for its air separation unit, marking the official entrance into the critical phase of equipment installation for the entire construction.
It is understood that the long-cycle equipment for these air separation units has been in production since July 2023. After a year of meticulous craftsmanship, the first batch of four large equipment, including air-cooled towers, water-cooled towers, and two molecular sieve purifiers, were finally delivered and installed. These devices, with a diameter of approximately 5 meters, a height of about 30 meters, and a unit weight ranging from 70 to 120 tons, fully demonstrate the scale and weight of chemical equipment.
The equipment departed from Nantong, Jiangsu Province, and overcame severe weather conditions such as strong winds and storm surges during its journey. After days of sailing, it finally arrived safely at Panjin Port. This is the first batch of large equipment delivered and installed for the project, and its successful arrival and installation have laid a solid foundation for the subsequent advancement of the project.
Following the equipment’s arrival at the port, the company swiftly sprang into action, safely transporting the equipment to the construction site according to the established plan for unloading, loading, and transportation. Upon the equipment’s arrival at the site, the company scientifically organized construction operations, strictly implementing and controlling every detail such as crane selection, crane positioning, lifting construction, and installation work. After two consecutive days of intense construction, the delivery and installation of this large equipment were finally completed.
The Huajin Aramco Fine Chemical and Raw Material Engineering Project is located in Liaobin Economic Development Zone, Panjin City, Liaoning Province. This project is not only an important achievement of Sino-Saudi cooperation but also a key project listed in the national plan. With a total investment of 83.7 billion yuan, the project aims to build 32 sets of production equipment and supporting facilities, including 15 million tons/year of oil refining, 1.65 million tons/year of ethylene, and 2 million tons/year of PX. This ambitious project is not only an integral part of the petroleum and petrochemical industry chain of China North Industries Group but also a crucial link in Panjin’s construction of a nationally important petrochemical and fine chemical industry base. The project is expected to be completed in September 2025, with a total construction duration from pile foundation commencement to mechanical completion of approximately 30 months.
The successful installation of large equipment for the air separation unit not only provides a strong guarantee for the smooth progress of the Huajin Aramco Fine Chemical and Raw Material Engineering Project but also injects new vitality into the petrochemical industry development in Panjin City and even the entire Liaoning Province. With the gradual progress of the project and the continuous installation of more equipment, it is believed that this significant project will make a positive contribution to the sustainable development of the regional economy.
