On December 31, the "Fujian Gulei 1.5MMTA Ethylene and Downstream Deep Processing Complex Project Propylene Fractionator NO.1" manufactured by Himile for SABIC FUJIAN Petrochemicals Co. Ltd., was shipped from the Rushan factory, setting a new record for the heaviest single piece of equipment produced by Himile, weighing in at an impressive 1,909 tons, with a diameter of 9.5 meters and a length of 102 meters.
The ethylene plant comprises a total of seven core oversized columns, of which Himile has undertaken the manufacturing of five. These columns are primarily used for light hydrocarbon cracking in the ethylene plant, producing small-molecule ethylene and propylene compounds through chain-scission reactions and dehydrogenation reactions.
This marks Himile's first foray into such a large-scale project, with the internal structure of the product being highly complex and demanding exceptional precision and craftsmanship in construction. It also poses challenges in process planning, quality control, and the allocation of personnel and resources.

Project Information Introduction
The Sino-Saudi Gulei Ethylene Complex Project is located in the Gulei Petrochemical Base in Zhangzhou, Fujian (one of China's seven major petrochemical industry bases). With a total investment of approximately RMB 44.8 billion, the project is a joint venture between Fujian Energy and Petrochemical Group Co., Ltd. and Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), the global petrochemical giant, with shareholding ratios of 49% and 51%, respectively.
Upon completion, the project will have a maximum annual production capacity of 1.8 million tonnes of ethylene and downstream deep processing complex units. The products will be widely used in sectors such as electronics and electrical engineering, artificial intelligence, smartphones, communications, healthcare, automobiles, and new materials, meeting the growing market demand for high-end petrochemical products.
