Static Equipment

 

Pressure vessels can be dangerous, and fatal accidents have occurred in the history of their development and operation. Consequently, pressure vessel design, manufacture, and operation are regulated by engineering authorities backed by legislation.

 

Pressure Vessels

At Bamla, we have huge experience and expertise in the specification and procurement of pressure vessels. We specialise in the design and specification of vessels to PD 5500, ASME VIII Div.1 or 2, and EN 13445, depending on our client’s needs. Our experience cuts across various types of pressure vessels used within the upstream and downstream sectors of the Oil and Gas Industry. This includes:

  • Separators
  • Slug catchers
  • Holding vessels/Accumulators
  • Filters
  • Knock-out drums
  • Pig/Sphere Receivers and Launchers
  • Air Receivers

We work closely with a number of vessel manufacturers in delivering high value pressure vessels to our clients across the industry. Our vessel suppliers’ list include but not limited to the following: Glacier Whiteley Read, Langsfield, Forsyth, Wefco, FAI, Abbotts, Baton Firtop, Pall, Alderley, Bendalls Engineering, Mangiarotti S.p.A. and Pipeline Precision Engineering.

Tanks

We also specify tanks built to the following codes:

  • API 650
  • API 650 Annex J – Shop-Assembled Storage Tanks
  • API 12F – Specification for Shop Welded Tanks for Storage of Production Liquids
  • BS 799 Part 5 – Carbon Steel Oil Storage Tanks
  • BS 1564 – Pressed steel sectional rectangular tanks
  • ANSIUL 142 – Standard for Steel aboveground tanks for flammable and Combustible Liquids
  • Rectangular tank design using Roark’s Formula for Stress and Strain
  • Separators
  • Slug catchers
  • Holding vessels/Accumulators
  • Filters
  • Knock-out drums

Repairs

Welded Repairs – Metallic Vessels and Tanks

At Bamla, we carry out pressure vessel and tank repairs/refurbishment and complete fitness for service assessment in line with API 510, ASME PCC-2 and API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 requirements. Existing vessels  to be repaired/reused for particular applications are usually assessed for fitness for service using ASME FSS-1/API 578-1 or BS7910 prior to reinstatement. Any identified defect/flaw is normally repaired in accordance with ASM PCC-2 and / or API 510.

Bonded Repairs – GRP Vessels and Tanks 

For non-metallic vessels made with GRP materials or glass composites, repair works are carried out using HSE Guidance Note PM75, CEN ISO/TS 24817 and National Composites Network Best Practice Guide. Belsona materials are also regularly used in the repair of non-metallic/GRP tanks and vessels.
