RECORD-BREAKING reactor installation for Lithuanian refinery

The upgrade program for ORLEN Lietuva refinery in Mažeikiai, Lithuania, included a greenfield project to install a Residue Hydrocracking Unit (RHCU) to support greener fuel projects and increase site capacity.
With the unit weighing 1,500 tonnes, and measuring over 50 meters tall, ORLEN Lietuva approached engineers at Mammoet to support its transportation and installation.
Watch how we got the reactor nearly 150km to site, and then installed it using a custom gantry solution!

Yo, I'm one of your subscribers. Nice to see you here in this comment section. 😅😅😅

[@J3scribe]

Years of planning. Incredible.

[@marksapollo]

Also crazy how these tall massively heavy objects are just held in place by a few big bolts nuts and washers 😂, relying a lot on their weight I guess.

[@rob8278]

As long as you do not have heavy earthquake the weight should keep it in place fairly well.

[@crabLT]

@@rob8278 There are almost no earthquakes in Lithuania. A few over the last 20 years that vibrate things a bit and thats it.

It's built in India.

Here's an idea: Use the self-erecting concept from tower cranes to erect the gantry crane used here. I assume the crawler crane is still essential in this application, but perhaps the concept would be useful in the future. Great job on this video also; it's a look at how you did it and what it means for the various parties involved.

[@ghostdevill]

This is already invented, but not needed on this project! The height wasn,t the issue but the footprint on site and the weight was a different story.

[@marksapollo]

Why do these things weigh so much when they essentially look like hollow tubes? What’s inside them?

[@rawrmusic55]

Very thick shells with lots of reinforcing sections and tons of weld filler.

[@visinskised]

30cm thick outside "walls".

[@simsnqta]

Pressure vessels are designed against pressure and temperature. The higher the pressure and temperature - the thicker the vessel walls need to be. Pressure generates membrane stress circumferentially and longitudinally while high temperature makes steel weaker. So you need to allocate enough thick metal to resist both.

[@TheDieselndust]

There are several different “floors” or levels inside.

No job too big for Mammoet.. they break record after record... and then do it again..

New reactor for old Soviet refinery....

[@andrzej3511]

To avoid it being an "old Soviet refinery", a POLISH company, in this case a branch in Lithuania, is installing new and very modern petrochemical equipment. AFTER installing the complete equipment, Mažeikiai will become a MODERN POLISH REFINERY. Exactly as it happened in Petrochemia Płock in Poland.

[@xandervk2371]

On the site where Soviet refinery used to be. Funny how this time, you aren't blathering about lack of industry in the Baltics. Cope.

[@andrzej3511]

@@xandervk2371 Not the "Soviet" but the Soviet occupation refinery - there is a huge difference!

[@AAaa-wu3el]

This Lithuanian refinery processes Russian oil for the europian fuel market.

[@andrzej3511]

Not quite. Orlen Lietuva operates a pipeline system with a length of approximately 500 km. Included in this system are two pumping stations near Birż and Janishka, oil pipelines to the refinery in Mažeikiai and the oil port in Butinge, and an oil pipeline leading to Ventspils. Generally, oil is supplied via the Baltic Sea. As a rule, Polish Orlen DOES NOT BUY Russian oil. Maybe you haven't noticed, Polish companies willingly comply with all sanctions against Russia very eagerly.

[@xandervk2371]

Didn't Russia shut the pipeline as early as 2006, and also try to burn the plant down the same year?

[@andrzej3511]

@@xandervk2371 It doesn't matter to me what Russia wanted, what they did or didn't do. What matters to me is that Orlen has invested and continues to invest HUGE money in Mažeikiai for mutual benefits: both Poles and Lithuanians.
