Its super-large diameter and overweight tonnage are both the highest among similar process washing towers in the world today. To erect such a 'big guy' is indeed not easy. Due to the extreme difficulty of lifting the entire tower, the tower body was cut into upper and lower sections at the factory, and assembled at the project site by hoisting the lower section into place and then joining and welding the upper section in the air.
