In the blink of an eye, the 15th day of the first lunar month passed by. It is the last month of the first quarter in 2021. In the opening year of the 14th Five-Year Plan, how can we make a good start? Based on management improvements and customer services, we still held posts for the festival and were busy in getting off to a good start.

Keep working on Spring Festival

Helping Zhenhai Refining & Chemical supervise its base construction

Nanjing Sanfang Chemical Equipment Supervision Co., Ltd. (“Nanjing Sanfang” for short) under Tianhua Institute, undertook the main supervision task of the base construction project of Sinopec Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd. (Zhenhai Refining & Chemical), covering the hydrogenation reactor of hydrocracking unit, three major units of ethylene plant, EO reactor of ethylene glycol unit, core reactor and tower of POSM unit, gasifier of POX unit, loop reactor of polypropylene unit and other key & core equipment.

In 2021, June 30 is the mid-term delivery target proposed by Zhenhai Refining & Chemical. The timely delivery of key equipment is of great significance in achieving the goal, while the Spring Festival holiday is a critical period for equipment production. To this end, Nanjing Sanfang encouraged dispatched personnel to “spend the New Year locally”, and organized resident personnel of key equipment manufacturers to work overtime, so as to supervise the manufacturing during the Spring Festival period.
