One of our current projects are Powder Induction Hoppers made from 316L stainless steel with a 25 Ra outside and 10 Ra inside surface finish. These units are equipped with CIP spray balls and spring assist manways.

Our latest project is a 304 stainless steel jacket 1500 gallon mix tank with 3" half pipe on shell and bottom head.  This tank was delivered locally to Idemitsu in Jeffersonville, IN.

These 21 filter vessels are made from 316L stainless construction and lined with haylar coating to provide superior corrosion resistance.  The haylar coating was applied .040 inches thick.  The exterior of the vessels was electropolished to aid in the cleanability and provide a visual luster finish.  The units are rated for 150 p.s.i. at 300*F.  

This 4-inch thick 316L high purity storage tank is 12 feet in diameter and 20 feet tall.  It features a dimpled jacket with a 2-inch thick insulation and an outer sheath made from 304 stainless steel.  It has a 20 Ra interior surface finish with a 2B exterior finish.  Three separate heating zones are supplied by inlet outlet nozzles that penetrate the outer shell.  This tank weighs 17,000 pounds.

These 8-inch carbon steel bag housings are rated for pressures up to 600 p.s.i. and 300*F. Each unit has an inlet outlet, two dp ports and one drain.  These bag housings will be available for online purchasing in our products page. Products page is currently under construction.  

Our latest project that shipped this week is a system that includes a reactor, 2 columns, and a heat exchanger.

Reactor
This project is a 12-ft. in diameter, 20-ft. tall reactor made with a 1/2-in. thick 304 stainless steel shell and 9/16-in. thick 304 stainless steel head.  This unit has a 4-in. half-pipe coil with 39 wraps on the shell and six wraps on the bottom head.  It is supported by six legs out of 8-in. pipe coped to the bottom head shell.  There are four internal baffles to aid in mixing provided by the center studding flange that will support a 30 HP mixer.  This vessel is rated for 600*F and 125 psi on the coil, and 50 psi on the shell.  This unit weighs 34,000 pounds and all fabricated from 304 stainless steel.  

The half-pipe coil is being installed in the vertical position.  The shell is being stood up on end with two 40-ton cranes.  

A 60-ton crane was used to load the reactor onto a double drop trailer.

Columns
This system has two columns that are 24-in. in diameter and 10-ft. tall.  One unit is a packed column with a 2-in. sparer pipe for reflux.  Both columns are tied together via an automated butterfly valve to select either the packed or unpacked columns.  

Heat Exchanger
The product is cooled in a 208*F 3/4-in. stainless steel single pass heat exchanger built on a 10 degree slope.  From the heat exchanger, the final product is stored in a 4-ft. diameter, 10-ft. tall receiver tank.
