Steel fabrication in the chemical industry

Steel structure processing has a wide range of applications in the field of petrochemical industry, mainly in the following aspects:

One is as the manufacturing material of petrochemical equipment. Petrochemical equipment refers to a variety of vessels, pipelines, reactors, towers, heat exchangers, pumps, valves and other equipment used in the petrochemical production process.

The second is as a building material for petrochemical plants and warehouses. Petrochemical plants and warehouses are buildings used for the production, storage and transportation of petrochemical products. These buildings usually need to have a large space and load-bearing capacity, and also need to consider fire prevention, explosion-proof, sound insulation and other factors.

Thirdly, it is used as a support material for petrochemical platforms and pipe racks. Petrochemical platforms and pipe racks are structures used to support and secure petrochemical equipment and pipelines.

Our work includes creating parts and structures such as:

Scrubbers
Vessels
Platforms
Piping
Condensers
Reactors
Evaporators
Tanks
Towers
Reboilers

We specialize in the custom design and fabrication of corrosion-resistant processing equipment using specialty metals including High-Nickel Alloys (Hastelloy, Monel, Inconel), Duplex Stainless Steel, Austenitic 300 Series Stainless Steels, and Super Austenitic Stainless Steel Alloys that:

Deliver excellent corrosion resistance
Optimize performance & reliability
Prevent cross contamination
Improve yields
Minimize process leaks
Maximize safety
Comply with ASME and API codes
Adhere to stringent QA/QC procedures

HEAT EXCHANGERS

BBN steel can custom design and fabrication of shell and tube heat exchangers for the Chemical Industry.

Fixed Tubesheet: Two stationary tubesheets attached to the shell, a bundle of straight tubes is connected between the tubesheets and contain baffles to direct the flow around the tubes in order to generate the required heat transfer. A channel cover assembly is attached to each tubesheet.

Floating Tubesheet: This design is similar to the Fixed Tubesheet design except one tubesheet is allowed to move axially within the shell while the other tubesheet is fixed. This configuration allows for the tube bundle to be removable.

Tube: Consists of straight length tubes bent into a U-shape with both ends terminating at the tubesheet. The tube bundle is fitted with supports or flow baffles. The tubesheet/tube bundle is placed in the shell and bolted between the head flange and shell body flange. A head assembly is required to direct the fluid in and out through tube bundle. This configuration allows for the entire tube bundle to be removable.
