Manufactured and delivered: Gas Cleaning Equipment including 66m Height Wet Stack
Gas cleaning equipment probably makes the biggest share in Nord Steel manufacturing projects, and we are always very excited when our team creates something great by all means.
Last year Nord Steel was awarded a project to manufacture a complex gas cleaning solution. We were responsible for manufacturing wet stack, scrubber, bisulfite storage tank and various pressure vessels.
The wet stack was impressive: 3 flanged segments in total made it 66m height, with a diameter of 2m. Nord Steel also manufactured stainless inner parts and service platforms for the stack.
The most challenging part of the project was welding. Welding quality was assured by trial fit assemblies, which played a crucial role in reaching the precise quality of the product.
Nord Steel coating department: 1400 m2 inhouse workshop and limitless facilities outside
Steel manufacturing process usually never ends up with welding. Approximately 90% of Nord Steel products manufactured in our own steel workshop take a step into the surface treatment area.
Steel coating includes polishing, brushing, blasting, etching and coloring touches. Selecting the right surface treatment is important in determining the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel surface.
More than 1400 m2 of indoor steel workshop at Nord Steel is dedicated exclusively to coating activities. For instance, shot-blasting is performed in two separate shot-blasting chambers, giving the possibility to indoor shot-blast products of up to 5m in diameter, 20m in length. Not to mention limitless painting facilities outside. All the operations are strictly supervised by an experienced coating engineer or FROSIO inspector.
Manufactured and Delivered: 6-cell Baghouse Filter (Scotland)
When we say that we work in heavy industry, we literally mean – HEAVY. Here is a completed project where Nord Steel manufactured fully assembled cells and connecting duct system for a 6-cell Baghouse Filter.
Each cell was 4,2 meters in diameter, 17 meters in height, reaching 10 tons of weight per unit. All structures were shot blasted and primed or coated with a full coating system.
Gas-tight structures require extreme focus on the details. For this project our best engineers prepared the welding plan – one of the most important parts of the process. Extremely strict quality control and acceptance criteria helped to minimize any potential deformation and keep up with very strict design tolerance.
Manufactured equipment was delivered to waste-to-energy project in Scotland.
