Background:

Atlantic Supports Eqqngineering has collaborated with vessel and civil
design engineers to offer solutions for combined structural and insulation
requirements.

Discussions with leading petrochemical designers led to the design of the cold vessel platform bracket for ethylene towers enabling them to use
carbon steel platforms (instead of stainless steel) giving considerable cost savings and other benefits. Involvement with many projects at the design stage has led to orders for a range of custom designed solutions for vertical and horizontal vessels, tanks and columns.

Product benefits:

  • Increased use of lower cost carbon steel in place of stainless steel.

  • Ice build up is reduced, hence the ladders and platforms are safer to
    use.

  • Improved Vessel Efficiency.

    COLD VESSEL PLATFORM BRACKET Type CVPB

    Isolating 7

    Table 1

    Application: To provide insulation between cold vessels and access platforms

    Product benefits:

  • The CVPB units insulate the platform from the vessel enabling carbon steel to be used for platform construction instead of stainless steel.

  • The higher platform temperature reduces ice build up, hence the platform is safer to use.

  • The efficiency of the vessel is improved

    • NOTES:

  • The standard range loads are quoted at 25°C and should be derated linearly with temperature to 50% at +160°C.
  • No reduction in strength occurs below +25°C.
  • Insulating blocks are constructed from ASE plas 1010 SWA material.

  • The block material has a temperature range -196°C to +160°C continuous and the supports have an effective ‘K’ value of less than
    0.5 W/m°C.

  • Unless otherwise stated, all dimensions are in millimetres.

    Application: To provide insulation between cold vessels and access platforms

    Product benefits:

  • The CVPS units insulate the platform from the vessel enabling carbon steel to be used for platform construction instead of stainless steel.
