The system would comprise three activated carbon vessels including all pipe work and control valves manufactured in stainless steel was discussed and agreed to provide the smoothest transition from concept to final design. drop information was also provided, confirming compliance of the system to the original specifications. H2S gas is poisonous, flammable and corrosive and in this application, pressurised. A solid engineering knowledge and fine attention to detail is required to provide a safe and reliable system when handling this gas. Material selection plays a key part in this process. Due to its excellent corrosion resistant properties, applicable in this case for the pressurised gas within the system and its external weather resistance, all pipe work, process valves and supporting structure were constructed from 316 stainless steel. Optimised Design A full document package was supplied on delivery of the system to meet the client's specifications including; General Assembly (GA) and layout, Bill of Materials (BoM) and material specifications, Piping and Instrumentation Drawing (P&ID). Defined pressure performance data and pressure The modular construction of the filtration plant offered a number of benefits to the project. Initially, it allowed full factory acceptance testing (FAT) to be achieved before the equipment was delivered to site. The design took into account the transportation of the equipment to the installation site and aimed to minimise the logistical costs. In addition, the modular layout minimised the installation and commissioning time, which helped to ensure the wider project was delivered on time. The overall selection and layout of the equipment offered optimum performance with the smallest available footprint. Steve Griffiths, Project Engineer at ThermTech, summarises: "Companies such as CC Jensen have the responsibility for the entire project and depend on trusted manufacturers like ourselves to deliver the contracted elements on time and to specification. Every project we undertake is tailored to our customer's specifications and needs. With years of experience in designing and manufacturing filtration systems, we ensure complete integration of our systems with other processes. By delivering a turnkey solution, we can be certain of meeting every expectation of our customers." www.thermtech.co.uk
