Pressure vessels are used in many different industries, but 3 industries cover most of the market. These industries are the oil and gas industry, chemical industry, and energy industry.
Oil and Gas Industry
In the Oil and Gas industry, a pressure vessel is often used as a receiver where physical and chemical processes take place at high temperatures and pressures.
Although the columns are used for different purposes, they are similar in construction. Distillation columns are used to divide feed streams or streams into multiple sources, based on feed part boiling points. In general, pressure vessels and columns are purchased from the same manufacturers because of their similar construction process. Carbon steel and stainless steel are the two most commonly used materials for construction in the oil & gas industry. A pressure vessel also requires other components in addition to the external body to become usable, such as vessel internals, distillation trays. Such components are highly complex and they require specifications that are very different from those necessary for the manufacture of pressure vessels that are supplied by specialist suppliers.
Chemical Industry
It is a pressure vessel in which a process (chemical reaction) is carried out, which leads to a fundamental change in the content of the container. These can be processes such as combining one or more products to create a new product, dividing one product into one or more different products, removing directions of an existing product to create something else. Also, many different types of pressure vessels can be used simultaneously in the chemical industry.
Energy (Power Generation) Industry
There are a number of different causes of why the energy sector needs pressure vessels overall. One of the main reasons why they are needed within the energy sector is to contain harmful gases. Often in places such as oil refineries as well as metalwork’s excess gas needs to be stored. Also, Nuclear power plants use special pressure vessels named Reactor Pressure Vessels (RPVs). RPVs are large cylindrical steel vessels containing a core, cooling water, and generated steam, that requires high reliability to withstand high temperatures and high pressures, and neutron irradiation, which makes the RPV the most critical pressure boundary in the nuclear power plant. But keep in mind, not all power reactors have a reactor pressure vessel.
