Engineered Process Equipment for Chemical & Specialty Applications

Process equipment for chemical & specialty industries

PunchTech designs and manufactures tower trays, packing systems, column internals, mist eliminators and custom-fabricated components for chemical plants and specialty process facilities.

We support new equipment, plant upgrades, replacement requirements, column revamps and planned shutdowns — from engineering review and manufacturing to inspection and installation support.

Built around the process requirement

Chemical and specialty process applications frequently involve unique operating conditions, project-specific materials and custom equipment configurations.

Reliable performance depends on the correct integration of mass transfer equipment, liquid distribution, packed-bed support, droplet separation and mechanical construction.

PunchTech works with plant operators, EPC contractors, engineering consultants and process equipment manufacturers to deliver products based on approved process data, drawings, material specifications and inspection requirements. Our capabilities support:

  • New chemical and process plants
  • Production-capacity additions
  • Process-column upgrades
  • Replacement of worn or obsolete internals
  • Revamp and modernization projects
  • Planned shutdown requirements
  • Custom and low-volume manufacturing
  • Build-to-print manufacturing for EPC and OEM packages

Custom Engineering Support

Solutions for non-standard requirements

Chemical process projects often require equipment that cannot be selected from a standard catalogue. PunchTech can review project requirements involving:

  • Custom equipment dimensions
  • Restricted vessel access
  • Non-standard internal arrangements
  • Low-volume or one-time manufacturing
  • Application-specific material requirements
  • Existing equipment modifications
  • Replacement of obsolete components
  • Components from client-issued drawings
  • Components from available field information
  • Integration with existing support systems

Our engineering and manufacturing teams work together to develop a practical production and installation scope.

Connecting process intent with manufacturing

PunchTech provides engineering support to translate chemical-process requirements into clear manufacturing deliverables. The agreed project scope may include:

01 Process & Hydraulic Review

Review of available operating conditions, flow rates, pressure-drop requirements and internal configuration for applicable projects.

02 Internals Selection & Arrangement

Selection and configuration of trays, packing, distributors, collectors, supports and associated internals.

03 Mechanical Design & Detailing

  • General arrangement drawings
  • Internal layouts
  • Manufacturing drawings
  • Segment & assembly drawings
  • Support & fastening details
  • Bills of materials
  • Component identification
  • Installation information

04 Design for Manufacturing

Assessment of material availability, cutting, forming, segmentation, fabrication, assembly and inspection requirements.

05 Installation Planning

Consideration of vessel access, manway dimensions, component handling, assembly sequence and site fit-up.

Material Considerations

Manufacturing against the approved material specification

Chemical process equipment may operate in corrosive, reactive or temperature-sensitive environments. Material selection must therefore be based on the process chemistry, operating conditions and approved engineering specification.

PunchTech manufactures against approved material grades and project specifications. Material suitability for the process remains subject to the client's approved engineering basis.
