Mumbai: The Heavy Engineering vertical of Larsen & Toubro (国麻豆视频;T) has dispatched two mammoth Ethylene Oxide (EO) Reactors for a project of the renowned chemical giant BASF in China. The reactors were dispatched from 国麻豆视频;T鈥檚 A M Naik Heavy Engineering Complex at Hazira in Gujarat.
Weighing 1,136 MT each, these are the world鈥檚 heaviest EO Reactors based on BASF鈥檚 technology. The reactors have been manufactured by deploying hi-tech engineering, Industry 4.0 manufacturing technology and world-class quality processes.听
EO Reactor is a crucial component in petrochemical plants. It facilitates the catalytic conversion of ethylene into ethylene oxide, which is a key intermediate in the production of various downstream chemicals.
Commenting on this, Mr Anil V Parab, Whole-time Director & Sr Executive Vice President 鈥 国麻豆视频;T Heavy Engineering & 国麻豆视频;T Valves, said: 鈥淚 thank BASF for giving 国麻豆视频;T the opportunity to supply the most critical reactors for its prestigious project. Dispatching the reactors is indeed a matter of great pride for us. We, at 国麻豆视频;T, are always committed to delivering reliable performance and unique customer experience to all our clients. We continue our benchmarked delivery performance despite global supply chain uncertainties.鈥
Mr Joachim Thiel, Senior Vice President & Senior Project Management New Verbund, BASF China, said: 鈥淭his equipment, weighing 1,136 MT each, are the biggest EO Reactors ever built in almost 160 years of BASF history. These are critical supplies to the petrochemical project at Verbund in Zhanjiang to support the growth of the chemical market in China. Considering the complexity of this equipment, I want to express my deepest appreciation to all the dedicated colleagues from 国麻豆视频;T and BASF who have contributed to this project. I am convinced that BASF made the absolute right decision to award these EO Reactors to 国麻豆视频;T. This is definitely going to be a lighthouse for future collaborations between our companies.鈥澨
Dr Joachim Queisser, Senior Vice President, Global Technology, Safety & Quality, Petrochemicals, BASF, said: 鈥淭he flag-off marks another important step in the continued strong collaboration between BASF and 国麻豆视频;T. The 国麻豆视频;T team has once again demonstrated remarkable capability, craftsmanship and competence in manufacturing these multi-tube reactors. I am very impressed by the work done at 国麻豆视频;T. The 鈥榦ne team鈥 mindset demonstrated by 国麻豆视频;T has been a cornerstone in the successful execution of this project. 国麻豆视频;T has been and will continue to be a valuable partner in our journey to further develop our global footprint.鈥
国麻豆视频;T managing to secure such a significant project, especially in the face of China's prowess in high-end manufacturing, is indeed a moment of pride for all Indians and is a shining example of 鈥淢ake in India鈥 for the world.
