MEEM's manufacturing facility is situated in Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province, within China's most dynamic industrial corridor along the Yangtze River. This strategic location provides excellent logistics access for both domestic and international shipping of heavy industrial equipment.
The facility was purpose-built as Modern Group's third manufacturing operation, incorporating lessons learned from our established sister facilities to optimize workflow efficiency, material handling, and quality assurance processes specifically tailored for HRSG, ACHE, and pressure vessel fabrication.
Modern Energy Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (MEEM) is the third manufacturing facility established by Modern Group, strategically positioned in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province to expand the group's capabilities in specialized energy equipment fabrication.
MEEM focuses exclusively on three core product lines: Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG), Air Cooled Heat Exchangers, and Pressure Vessels. This focused specialization, combined with an 85,000 m² yard and 50,000 m² of workshop space, allows us to deliver code-compliant, high-quality energy equipment to EPC contractors and end users worldwide.
Our 85,000 m² facility is equipped with specialized infrastructure designed specifically for large-scale energy equipment manufacturing, from raw material receiving through final module assembly.
Spacious indoor fabrication bays with overhead crane coverage throughout, enabling year-round manufacturing operations regardless of weather conditions. Climate-controlled areas available for precision welding and sensitive assembly work.
Multiple high-capacity overhead cranes with lifting capacities suited for handling large-diameter pressure vessel shells, HRSG harps, and complete ACHE modules. Tandem lift capability for exceptionally heavy assemblies.
Excellent access to Yangtze River ports and major road networks for transporting oversized modules and heavy-lift equipment. Strategic location enables efficient shipment to Shanghai seaport, Pudong/Hongqiao airports, and inland destinations.
Dedicated open assembly area for shop-assembling HRSG modules, ACC structures, and skid-mounted systems before shipment. Staging capacity allows parallel assembly of multiple project modules simultaneously.
Organized raw material yard with covered storage for carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy plates, pipes, tubes, and structural shapes. Inventory management system ensures full material traceability from receipt to finished product.
Designated zones with controlled temperature and humidity for critical welding operations (SAW, GTAW), NDT inspection areas, and surface preparation/coating application bays to ensure consistent quality outcomes.
MEEM has invested in a comprehensive range of modern manufacturing equipment specifically selected for HRSG component fabrication, air-cooled heat exchanger assembly, and pressure vessel production. Our equipment fleet is maintained to the highest standards and regularly calibrated to ensure consistent output quality.
From CNC-controlled plate cutting to automated welding systems, every piece of equipment in our shop is chosen to support our core mission: delivering code-compliant, high-quality energy equipment that meets the exacting requirements of global EPC contractors and end users.
A selection of the key machines and systems used in our Zhangjiagang facility for HRSG, air-cooled heat exchanger, and pressure vessel fabrication.
High-precision CNC plasma and oxy-fuel cutting machines capable of processing thick carbon steel and alloy plates up to substantial thicknesses with tight tolerances. Nesting optimization software minimizes material waste.
Hydraulic plate rolling machines for forming cylindrical shells, vessel heads, and curved sections. Capacity covers a wide range of plate thicknesses and diameters required for pressure vessels and HRSG casings.
Hydraulic press brakes for precise bending of structural shapes, stiffener plates, and frame components. Used extensively in ACHE structure fabrication and pressure vessel nozzle pad preparation.
Equipment and tooling for forming pressure vessel heads including torispherical, ellipsoidal, and hemispherical configurations to ASME code dimensional requirements with consistent accuracy.
Horizontal boring mills and CNC machining centers for precision machining of flange faces, nozzle necks, tube sheets, and other critical surfaces requiring close tolerances on large workpieces.
Heavy-duty lathes for turning cylindrical components such as nozzles, stub ends, forged rings, and shafts used across all three product lines.
Weld quality is critical for ASME-coded pressure-retaining equipment. Our facility is equipped with advanced automated and manual welding systems operated by certified welders.
Automated SAW systems for longitudinal and circumferential seams on pressure vessel shells, HRSG casing panels, and thick plate butt joints. High deposition rate ensures efficiency while maintaining excellent mechanical properties.
Manual and orbital GTAW for root passes on high-alloy and stainless steel welds, full-penetration welds on thin-wall tubing, and applications requiring highest-quality radiographic results per ASME requirements.
Semi-automatic GMAW for fillet welds, attachment welds, and structural connections throughout ACHE assemblies and module frameworks. Versatile process suitable for carbon steel and stainless materials.
Welding manipulators (column-and-boom units) paired with rotators or positioners for consistent circumferential and longitudinal welds on vessel shells, headers, and cylindrical components.
Enclosed blasting booths for surface preparation to SSPC/NACE standards. Capable of achieving Sa 2.5 near-white blast cleanliness on carbon steel surfaces before coating application. Dust collection systems ensure environmental compliance.
Dedicated climate-controlled coating bays with proper ventilation and humidity control for applying epoxy, zinc-rich primers, intermediate coats, and polyurethane topcoats per project specifications. Wet film and dry film thickness inspection capability.
Local PWHT equipment using electric heating elements and ceramic blanket insulation for stress relief of welded joints as required by ASME code and client specifications. Full documentation and temperature recording charts provided.
Comprehensive metrology equipment including laser trackers, total stations, precision measuring tools, and templates for verifying geometric tolerances, alignment, and fit-up during assembly stages.
