Services
Pressure Vessel Design
Specialized design and re-rating of pressure vessels according to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code. Our engineers analyze structural integrity under various operating conditions while maximizing equipment lifespan. We provide code-compliant solutions for vertical, horizontal, and spherical vessels in refineries and chemical plants.
Fitness for Service Evaluations
Comprehensive assessments to determine equipment safety after corrosion, cracks, or mechanical damage. Using API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 standards, we evaluate remaining life and recommend repairs. Our analysis helps defer inspections and avoid unnecessary equipment replacement in processing facilities.
Finite Element Analysis
Advanced simulation of complex stress patterns using ANSYS software. We perform 2D/3D structural and thermal analysis for pressure equipment, aircraft components, and mechanical systems. This technique identifies stress concentrations and optimizes designs for challenging operational conditions across multiple industries.
Piping Stress Analysis
Comprehensive stress evaluation of process piping systems using CAESAR II software. We ensure compliance with ASME B31.3 standards while addressing thermal expansion, vibration, and support requirements. Our analysis prevents failures in piping networks within chemical plants and power generation facilities.
Storage Tanks Design
Design and re-rating of welded steel storage tanks per API 650 and API 620 standards. We assess structural integrity for atmospheric and low-pressure storage applications, ensuring compliance with mechanical integrity requirements in oil and gas, and water treatment industries.
