Main features of our Columns and Towers
- We design columns using a variety of materials, including stainless steel, high nickel alloys, duplex, superduplex, cladding, and titanium, among other exotic materials.
- We offer assembly or preassembly of internals for specific processes, ensuring ease of installation and operation.
- From small to very large units, up to 300 tons in weight, with diameters up to 8 meters and lengths up to 50 meters.
- We ensure Finite Element Analysis (FEA) with ensuring optimal mechanical design and structural integrity under all operating conditions.
- We provide supports and foundations with skirts or brackets to ensure structural stability.
INDUSTRIAL APLICATIONS
Columns and towers are widely used in industries such as petrochemical, oil & gas, pulp and paper, and chemical processing. These vessels are essential for performing key processes in various industrial applications, including:
- Distillation: used for separating components based on their boiling points in chemical and petrochemical industries.
- Absorption: applied in gas treatment processes, such as removing impurities from exhaust gases.
- Oxidation: essential for chemical reactions that require the introduction of oxygen to a system.
- Rectification: used in refining processes to separate liquid mixtures into their components.
- Separation: employed in various industries to divide mixtures into individual elements or compounds.
- Evaporation: used in processes where liquid components are separated by heat.
- Extraction: common in chemical and food industries for separating valuable compounds from raw materials.
Choosing the right materials and design for each application ensures optimal performance and reliability, with careful consideration of internal conditions, temperature, and pressure.
Optimized design for industrial Columns and Towers
At InoxTorres Group, we guarantee quality and performance. From bevel design and preparation to selecting the right welding procedure and applying the correct parameters, our certified welders ensure exceptional results.
- We guarantee structural integrity and reliability by considering external factors such as seismic and wind loads, in addition to internal pressure conditions.
- We use advanced welding techniques and ensure our certified welders follow the best procedures, optimizing the final product’s durability and performance.
- Our team of engineers uses cutting-edge mechanical calculation software to optimize design, weight, and performance, ensuring that each column meets industry standards.
Traceability, quality control, and documentation are just as important as the physical construction of the column, guaranteeing that every aspect of the project is fully traceable and complies with regulatory standards. With years of experience, we have a long list of references that demonstrate our expertise in industrial column design and column manufacturing.
