Is a piece of equipment causing a bottleneck in your process? Are fabrication repairs necessary for maximum output or safe operation? As process designs become more efficient, you may find that your equipment can’t keep up with demand. Maybe the nozzles are too small (or too large). Perhaps some parts need to be replaced, or a vessel needs repair. Don’t overlook necessary repairs. A rupture could be catastrophic. Instead, connect with Boardman for fast, effective repairs or alterations.
It’s common for ASME vessels to remain in operation for 30 or more years. That’s a lengthy lifespan and a sign of a great investment in quality construction. However, advancements in oil, gas, and chemical industry processes could also mean that current requirements surpass the capabilities of that vessel’s features.
At Boardman, we understand that you’re working with a tight budget, and every capital dollar counts. If a process component is in good working order but could be improved with repairs or alterations, we are happy to put our expertise to work for you.
Let’s discuss how repairs or modifications to your existing equipment can extend its life, make operations safer and more efficient, and keep your numbers in the black this year.
What happens when a pressure vessel ruptures? In some of the worst-case scenarios we’ve seen, lives are lost. That’s why testing and inspection are so important—and why the ASME has strict criteria for those inspections.
At Boardman, we understand how crucial proper ASME-certified fabrication is, and we also encourage regular inspection to ensure that any pressure vessel manufactured by our team or another is kept in optimal condition.
In some cases, an aging pressure vessel, tower, or column may need to be replaced. In other instances, repairs will effectively bring it back into compliance. But any generic repair won’t do. Those repairs must be done by a certified professional using approved protocol for de-pressurization, water evacuation, welding, and more—since improper repairs can further weaken the vessel and create a dangerous situation.
When we visit your site to make repairs or alterations—or make modifications in our Oklahoma City facility, you can count on us being experienced in working with a wide variety of materials, including:
It’s true! Our field services team and in-house fabrication professionals are skilled in all repairs and modifications to ASME pressure vessels and trayed towers/columns. But there’s more. We’re also happy to fill your needs with these capabilities:
