Construction of a Petrochemical Production Facility in Ulsan, ‘[By Park Ji-ae from Edaily] Hyundai Engineering & Construction announced on the 27th that it has successfully installed the nation’s largest “propylene separation tower” at the Shahin Ethylene Facility construction site.’,
,
,
|
, ‘The installed tower is equipment used in propylene production. It stands at 118 meters tall, has a diameter of 8.5 meters, and weighs 2,370 tons, making it the largest heavy object among domestic petrochemical facilities.’,
,
, ‘Hyundai Engineering & Construction transported the equipment, which is equivalent to the height of a 50-story apartment building, to the site and installed it using the Tower Lifting System (TLS) within 14 hours.’,
,
, ‘The “Shahin Project” involves the construction of high-value-added petrochemical production facilities by investing 9.258 trillion won on a site of 880,000 square meters, equivalent to about 120 football fields, in the Onsan National Industrial Complex in Ulsan.’,
,
, ‘Hyundai Engineering & Construction is leading the Shahin Project as the primary contractor, working with Hyundai Engineering and DL E&C to carry out the Package 1 project, which includes building large-scale facilities such as the world’s largest steam cracker with TC2C technology.’,
,
, ‘The Shahin Package 1 includes ultra-large facilities like a cracking heater, which is 68 meters high and weighs 3,200 tons. The concrete used for the entire construction amounts to 333,749 cubic meters, equivalent to 60,000 ready-mix concrete trucks, and the steel frame used totals 98,634 tons, enough to build 14 Eiffel Towers.’,
,
, ‘With the Shahin Ethylene Facility construction over 60% complete, the installation of the steam cracker is expected to be finished in the first half of the year. Following this, an ethylene production facility with an annual capacity of 1.8 million tons will be completed and begin trial operations in the second half.’,
,
, ‘A Hyundai Engineering & Construction representative stated, “We are proud to have safely hoisted and successfully installed the symbolic ultra-large equipment at the site,” and added, “Leveraging our global project execution experience, we will complete the project safely by next June.”’,
