Hanwha Total Petrochemical’s PP4 Plant Gets a Few Steps Closer to Completion
With work completed on its new distillation towers, Hanwha Total Petrochemical is now just a few steps away from completing its PP4 plant in Daesan, Korea. The company also installed a new recovery column on January 31, 2020. This helps maximize output by capturing gas discharged during production and reinjecting it into the production process. Installing this recovery column was an enormous job. It weighs 250 metric tons and stands 60 meters in height, making it one of the heaviest and tallest pieces of equipment in the plant.
Hanwha Total Petrochemical also finished installing a 110 metric-ton propylene degassing column that stands 36 m tall. This column ensures the purity of the propylene being produced by separating out gases such as oxygen, ethylene, and methane.
The PP4 plant is currently on track for completion in 2021 with safety management as a top priority during the expansion project.
