Installation of oversized equipment for propane dehydrogenation unit at "Tobolsk-Polymer" completed

At the “Tobolsk-Polymer” construction site, the delivery and installation of oversized and heavy equipment for the propane dehydrogenation unit has been completed.

Overall in September to November 2011, 40 units of oversized and heavy equipment were installed, including tower and heat exchangers, tanks, reactors, and continuous catalyst regeneration modules. The heaviest aggregate installed under this program is a refrigeration system module, weighing 282 tonnes. The greatest challenge was mounting the continuous catalyst regeneration module block, consisting of six modules weighing over 700 tonnes. The length of the largest of the module blocks was 53 meters. The installation work took place under difficult weather conditions at a temperature of minus 15-18 degrees Celsius. Two cranes LIEBHERR cranes with a 350- and 750-tonne capacity were used to lift the equipment.
