Design and Engineering Phase
Once the requirements are clear, the design and engineering phase kicks off. Dennerik’s team uses CAD software to make detailed 3D models of process tanks. We consider tank size, materials, pressure needs, and access points for maintenance. The engineers and designers are experienced in this work.
Material Selection
Choosing the right material is crucial in ensuring the durability and longevity of the fabricated steel process tank. Dennerik Engineering assists clients in selecting the appropriate steel for tanks. This is done by considering factors such as the intended use, environmental conditions, and regulatory requirements.
Fabrication Process
With the design finalized and materials selected, the fabrication process begins. Dennerik Engineering partners with trusted fabrication facilities equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and skilled welders. The fabrication process involves cutting, shaping, welding, and assembling the steel components according to the approved design specifications.
Quality Control and Inspection
Quality control is paramount in the fabrication of steel process tanks. Dennerik Engineering conducts rigorous inspections throughout the fabrication process to ensure that the tank meets the highest quality standards. Non-destructive testing methods, such as ultrasonic testing and visual inspections, are employed to detect any potential defects or imperfections.
Finishing Touches and Coatings
Once the fabrication is complete, the tank undergoes finishing touches such as grinding, polishing, and applying protective coatings. These coatings help prevent corrosion, extend the tank’s lifespan, and maintain its structural integrity in harsh operating environments.
Installation and Commissioning
After completing the fabrication and finishing processes, Dennerik Engineering oversees the installation and commissioning of the fabricated steel process tank at the client’s site. A team of qualified technicians ensures that the tank is installed correctly, connected to the relevant systems, and ready for operation.
Maintenance and Support
Beyond the installation phase, Dennerik Engineering provides ongoing maintenance and support services to ensure the optimal performance of the fabricated steel process tank. Regular inspections, preventive maintenance, and timely repairs are essential to prolonging the tank’s service life and minimizing downtime.
