Tankage construction in the Arkhangelsk Region
Customer:
Paper mill
Location:
Novodvinsk, the Arkhangelsk Region
Company sector:
Pulp, paper and board industry - solid board, cellulose, 7 paper types and copy-books manufacturer
Date of works held:
March 2018 - June 2019
Project:
Tank farm construction as part of the "New evaporator station" construction
The purpose of the project was to increase the production capacity of the Customer's enterprise and increase the finished-product output. There was a rigorous approach to the choice of the contractor, and important decision criterion was the performing company's reputation, quality of the manufactured equipment and the client centricity.
SARRZ confirmed compliance with the Customer's requirements and established mutually beneficial cooperation relationships, due to the fulfilment of the terms of the contract, timely feedback at each stage of work and transparency: customer's representative visited Saratov for several times in order to get acquainted with the production facilities and clarify details.
Main specifications:
- Stored product - industrial alkalies and condensate;
- VST amount - 16 pcs with a capacity of from 104 m3 to 3540 m3;
- Material - 09G2S, AISI 304;
- Erection procedure - plate-by-plate and Roll method;
- The thermal insulation with mineral wool boards with a density of 100-150 kg/m3 is provided.;
- The drawings were adapted to European standards.
Specific features and complexities of the project
The major challenge of the project implementation was the tight working space at the construction site, since the construction of the tank farm for the chemicals storage was carried out at the brownfield, which continued to work throughout the entire installation period.
The second difficulty was the severe climate: Novodvinsk is located in the Far North. The city is characterized by frequent weather changes, high humidity and hard winter.
As for the specifics of the project, it was necessary both to develop a complete set of design and operational documents for 16 vertical tanks, and to adapt it to the requirements of foreign standards.
As part of the project on the construction of a tank farm for the purposes of output expansion, SARRZ produced 16 vertical tanks with the following capacities: 3540 m3 - 2 pcs., 3040 m3 - 2 pcs., 2530 m3 - 2 pcs., 2040 m3 - 1 pc., 622 m3 - 1 pc., 1440 m3 - 1 pc., 1630 m3 - 1 pc., 502 m3 - 2 pcs., 156 m3 - 3 pcs., 104 m3 - 1 pc. Constructional steel 09G2S and stainless steel AISI 304 were used.
The heat insulation is made with Rockwool boards made of mineral rock wool with a thickness of 100 mm and a density of 100-150 kg/m3. This material has high heat conservation indicators and has good hydrophobic properties. During full-immersion, the absorption of water does not exceed 1.0 kg/m2.
