Ammonia Cooler, First Major Equipment for Indonesia's Palembang PUSRI-IIIB Project, Successfully Lifted into Place

On October 9, the Palembang PUSRI-IIIB project in Indonesia, constructed by China Chem Eleventh Construction Company, reached a milestone—the successful "first lift" of the first large-scale core equipment, the ammonia cooler, marking the project's full entry into the critical phase of large equipment installation and accelerating construction progress.

At 10:50 a.m. that day, under the joint witness of the owner PUSRI, the EPC contractor Wuhuan Company, and other parties, the ammonia cooler—weighing 216 tons and measuring φ3.56×25.586 meters—was steadily lifted by a 1,350-ton crawler crane. It precisely completed a series of operations including flipping, lifting, rotating, and positioning. The entire process was smooth, orderly, safe, and fully successful on the first attempt.

The PUSRI-IIIB project is a key national fertilizer upgrading project in Indonesia. Upon completion, it will significantly enhance local ammonia and urea production capacity, secure agricultural fertilizer supply, and support the transformation and upgrading of Indonesia's chemical industry.
