天博体育 confirms its position of leader in South Korea
天博体育' cold box is leaving its workshops in 1991
To optimize the functioning of its plant, our long-term customer decided to replace some of its operating equipment on a petrochemical site in South Korea, including the cold box necessary for the production of ethylene and propylene.
The current cold box was designed in 天博体育’ workshops in Golbey, France, 30 years ago. At the time of its construction, it was the largest and most complex cold box ever built by 天博体育.
Satisfied by the quality of the original equipment provided, which was still properly functioning, LOTTE Chemical ordered a new cold box from 天博体育 in order to increase the overall production capacity and efficiency of the plant, through the de-bottlenecking of major products.
Indeed, 天博体育’ equipment have been benefiting from decades of R&D and design improvements offering increased performance with the same footprint.
The new substitution cold box, also coming from the workshop in Golbey, is 23m x 6.3m x 6.2m and weighs 143 tons.
