Projects
Problems solved before the steel was cut.
Each project starts with a risk: an unfinished design, a shutdown date, a tolerance nobody else would promise. Here is what we engineered, and how it turned out.

Reactor vessel for a first commercial waste-to-fuel plant
Client
Enerkem [permission]
Equipment
Reactor vessel
Code
ASME VIII-1, U stamp
Weight
260,000 lb
Design pressure
1,200 psi
Shell
3 in plate
The risk
Only about 70% of the mechanical design was done when the order was placed.
What we engineered
Completed the design, jig-built the 36,000 lb tube bundle and designed non-standard 6′-8″ girth flanges.
The result
Calculations accepted by the Authorized Inspector; delivered to the plant [confirm date].

How to read a case study
Every case study covers the risk, the engineering and the result.
Every project page follows the same three steps, with the code, materials and numbers your engineers will ask about.
01
The risk
What could have gone wrong: an unfinished design, a long-lead alloy, a fixed shutdown date.
02
What we engineered
The calculations, redesign and fabrication method, with drawings where the client allows.
03
The result
Inspection, delivery and performance, in numbers.
