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.

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

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.

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.
