China BlueStar Harbin Petrochemical began its overhaul work on a 120,000-t/yr phenol-acetone machine, on Aug 1, a 20-day project that will involve 249 items and disassembling more than 500 blind plates. The team was chosen through bidding among general contractors and subcontractors. In spite of recent economic conditions, the company was able to save 50 percent on labor costs, over the previous year’s work.
