In early 2023 , Christchurch ( New Zealand ) based Taurus Engineering partnered with a company in Queensland , Australia , to deliver a pressure vessel for air purification in the chemical industry in Melbourne . Taurus is part of the Vortex Group , a collective of nine companies split between Australia and New Zealand focusing on environmental engineering and air pollution control . The mechanical engineering company specialises in the design , manufacture , installation and servicing of air pollution control systems , fume and dust extraction systems and material handling solutions .
Built for demanding applications The pressure vessel was built to the main specification of AS1210 Class 3 Pressure Vessel , with additional examination and pressure testing required to be done to Spec ( 4037- 1999 _ R2016 ). All welding was done to ASME IX specs . Constructed using grade 304 stainless steel with thicknesses between 5mm and 20mm , the vessel was made of plate , pipe , fasteners , rod , and machined flanges . These materials were chosen for their strength , malleability , and resistance to corrosive environments and applications .
