PRO­CESS HEAT RECO­VERY SYS­TEM / steel structure

Steel struc­tu­re for pro­cess heat reco­very system

The con­s­truc­tion site is loca­ted in Uzbe­ki­stan, a very acti­ve seis­mic area. The struc­tu­ral engi­nee­ring was done accor­ding to the rules of EN1090 and the Euro­code standards.

The enti­re steel struc­tu­re was desi­gned by IBG inclu­ding design cal­cu­la­ti­on, gene­ral dra­wings and all shop dra­wings. In addi­ti­on, various design cal­cu­la­ti­ons were done for equip­ment parts and pipe sup­port saddles.

AREA 1
Main steel structure

In order to get maxi­mum space for piping and equip­ment below the sup­port level, a frame struc­tu­re was cho­sen. The seis­mic acce­le­ra­ti­on con­side­red in the design cal­cu­la­ti­on has a ran­ge of 0,26g.

 

Weight of equip­ment approx. 1400 t
Weight of struc­tu­ral steel approx. 340 t

AREA 2

Steel sup­port struc­tu­re for piping

Piping sup­ports were inte­gra­ted as far as pos­si­ble insi­de the main steel struc­tu­re. Other­wi­se, they were desi­gned as sepa­ra­te frame struc­tures. The con­nec­tion points to the piping and pipe sup­port sadd­les were also desi­gned by IBG.

AREA 3

Casing for tech­ni­cal equipment

Various tech­ni­cal equip­ment is loca­ted insi­de the casing. The casing has a refrac­to­ry lining and is desi­gned for resis­ting high tem­pe­ra­tures and inner pres­su­re. The casing is an evo­lu­ti­on of alre­a­dy exe­cu­ted con­s­truc­tions of our cli­ent and com­ple­te­ly desi­gned by FEM.
