Controlled Replacement of Vertical Column Replacement Section

Portobello-RMF fabricated a vertical vessel replacement section to specific, strict measurement requirements.

Portobello-RMF are amongst the leaders in pressure equipment design and manufacture for items such as pressure vessels, heat exchanger and specialist equipment for all industrial applications. If you have a bespoke fabrication project you would like us to take on, get in touch with the team. We look forward to hearing from you.

Scope of supply:

Vertical Column Replacement Section

Design Code:

ASME VIII Div. 1

Size of the Vertical Vessel section:

3.9m diameter x 9.4m length x 50 tonnes

Materials used:

Carbon Steel clad with Alloy 400

Project:

Depropanizer Cone Section

Key Challenges:

Fabricating to tight tolerances was one of the challenges we faced, as well as the diameter having to be within +/- 2mm to ensure clean fit up on-site. Another challenge we encountered was the careful handling of the item due to its size and weight, as this project involved components on a huge scale. Portobello-RMF managed to overcome these challenges successfully with the hard work of all our highly skilled and professional engineers.
