Equipment for Demanding Process Conditions

Built for reliable plant performance

Fertilizer production involves demanding gas-liquid contact, corrosive process conditions and equipment that must operate reliably with minimal interruption.

The performance of process columns and vessels depends on the correct selection and integration of trays, packing, distributors, collectors, support systems and droplet-separation equipment.

PunchTech works with fertilizer manufacturers, EPC contractors, engineering consultants and equipment OEMs to supply products manufactured according to approved process data, drawings, material specifications and project quality requirements. Our capabilities support:

  • New fertilizer plants and process units
  • Plant expansions and capacity additions
  • Process-column upgrades
  • Replacement of worn or damaged internals
  • Revamp and modernization projects
  • Planned maintenance and shutdown requirements
  • Build-to-print manufacturing for EPC packages
  • Long-term replacement and sourcing programs

Engineering Support

Connecting process requirements with manufacturing

PunchTech provides engineering support to translate fertilizer-process requirements into practical manufacturing and installation deliverables. The project scope may include:

01 Process & Hydraulic Review

Review of available operating data, liquid and vapor loads, pressure-drop requirements and internal configuration for applicable projects.

02 Column Internals Configuration

Selection and arrangement of trays, packing, distributors, collectors, support systems and associated internals.

03 Mechanical Design & Detailing

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

04 Material & Manufacturability Review

Assessment of specified materials, cutting, forming, segmentation, fabrication, assembly and inspection requirements. Material suitability is confirmed against the process service, corrosion environment and approved specification.

05 Installation Planning

Consideration of vessel access, manway size, component orientation, assembly sequence, fit-up and installation constraints.

Replacement & Shutdown Requirements

Practical support for existing equipment

Replacement and brownfield projects may involve outdated drawings, restricted access, altered support arrangements and limited shutdown windows. PunchTech can review:

Existing Equipment Drawings Column & Vessel Dimensions Field Measurements Site Photographs Inspection & Damage Reports Existing Support Arrangements Removed / Damaged Components Manway Dimensions Material Information Approved Revamp Designs Shutdown Dates & Priorities

Large internals can be manufactured in identified segments for movement through vessel manways and assembly inside the equipment. Components can also be marked and packed according to equipment location or installation sequence.

Material Considerations

Manufacturing based on the approved material specification

Fertilizer-process equipment may operate in corrosive and chemically demanding environments. Material selection must therefore be based on the specific process conditions and project engineering requirements.

PunchTech manufactures according to the approved material grade and project specification. The suitability of any material for a specific process duty remains subject to the approved engineering basis.
