據烴加工網11月23日報道，位于馬來西亞沙撈越地區沿海城市賓圖魯的新的沙撈越石化甲醇項目將代表馬來西亞國家石油化工集團甲醇產能向前邁出重要一步。該集團已經是亞太地區的主要生產商，也是世界第四大甲醇生產商，在現有的240萬噸甲醇產能基礎上，每年將再加工175萬噸甲醇。

該新工廠將為沙撈越地區(馬來西亞60%的天然氣儲量位于該地區)帶來巨大的經濟增長，這得益于該新工廠和Bintulu附加天然氣銷售設施2提供的直接和間接就業機會，該設施每天將為甲醇生產提供多達168標準立方英尺的天然氣。

對于將持續至2023年3月的工廠建設作業，工程邀請Harbour link和Sarens共同合作，利用世界領先的重型運輸、工程運輸和起重機租賃方面的國際經驗，進行陸上重型運輸、模塊安裝、頂升作業和模塊重型吊裝。為了執行這些任務，兩家公司都決定專注于創造當地工作崗位，因此目前90%的團隊由當地工人組成。

從2022年4月開始，該工廠48個模塊的運輸和安裝開始，其中35個需要由SPMT（自推進模塊運輸）安裝。薩倫斯技術團隊隨后對模塊進行了頂升操作。每個管架模塊必須提升到一定的高度，并由SPMT運輸，以更穩定的方式進行作業，并將操作時間降至最低。

一旦前兩個階段完成，薩倫斯團隊就繼續進行設備和模塊的起重工作。為此，在工作區域使用了CC8800-1、CC2800、CC2400起重機等輔助設備。因此，CC8800-1裝置負責吊裝3個最大重量為558噸的主要立柱，還將負責安裝最大重量為560噸的工藝裝置模塊（PAU模塊）。

The new methanol plant in Sarawak will almost double Petronas Chemical Group's current production in Malaysia

The new Sarawak Petchem Methanol Project, located in the coastal city of Bintulu, in the Sarawak region of Malaysia, will represent an important step forward in the methanol production capacity of Petronas Chemical Group, which is already the main producer in Asia-Pacific and the fourth in the world, processing an additional 1.75 million tons per year to the 2.4 MMt it’s already capable of producing.

This new plant will provide a major economic boost to the Sarawak region, where 60% of Malaysia's gas reserves are located, thanks to the generation of direct and indirect employment, both for this new facility and for the Bintulu Additional Gas Sales Facility 2, which will provide up to 168 standard cubic ft of natural gas per day for methanol production.

For the plant's construction operation, which will last until March 2023, Samsung Engineering decided to call on the joint work of Harbour-link and Sarens, taking advantage of the international experience of the world leader in heavy lifting, engineered transport and crane rental for the onshore heavy transport, installation of modules, jacking operations and heavy lifting of modules. To carry out these tasks, both companies decided to focus on the creation of local jobs, so that 90% of the team is currently made up of local workers.

Underway since April 2022, the works began with the transport and installation of the 48 modules that make up the factory, of which 35 needed to be installed by SPMT (Self-Propelled Modular Transport). The Sarens technical team then carried out the jacking maneuvers of the modules. Each pipe rack module had to be lifted to a certain height and transported by SPMTs to carry out the job in a more stable way and minimize the operation time.

once the two previous phases were completed, the Sarens team proceeded with the heavy lifting for equipment and modules. For this, CC8800-1, CC2800, CC2400 cranes and other auxiliary equipment were used in the work area. Thus, the CC8800-1 unit was responsible for lifting 3 major columns with a max weight of 558t, and will also be in charge of installing the Process Unit Modules (PAU Modules), with a maximum weight of 560 tons.
