3/9/2015 9:26:58 AM Doosan Vina’s Chemical Processing Equipment shop last week made its first shipment of high-tech pressure vessels in the Year of the Goat to the petrochemical refinery project Nghi Son, which is now under construction in the northern province of Thanh Hoa. The first shipment to the Nghi Son refinery and petrochemical (NSRP) project included 19 high-tech pressure vessels with a combined weight of 210 tons. The first batch took eight months to be completed and the largest tank of the shipment was 4.48 meters in diameter and 19 meters long, and weighed over 36 tons.
The company said loading the high tech pressure vessels at its dedicated port in the Dung Quat Economic Zone in the central province of Quang Ngai took a day and the journey to the Nghi Son refinery and petrochemical complex in Thanh Hoa is scheduled to take five days. The NSRP project was signed in March last year for 30 high tech pressure vessels. Work commenced on the US$9-billion Nghi Son project covering 400 hectares in the Nghi Son Economic Zone in October 2013. Its main products include high octane unleaded gasoline, fuel oil and bitumen, and petrochemical products such as polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and associated feedstock. |
