Find ASME Reactor Fabrication You Can Rely On

You know how dangerous the temperature and pressures inside a reactor can be.  That’s why when a new reactor is needed, you need to be able to trust it will be fabricated with strict adherence to your specifications by an experienced fabricator. You need that ASME reactor fabrication to result in equipment that’s safe for your team, the community, and the environment—and you want the construction process to be tailored to your processes. Those are just a few reasons why people in your industry have come to trust Boardman.

The Importance of Skilled ASME Reactor Fabrication

If an ASME reactor fails, it can lead to dangerous consequences, including the release of hazardous materials into the environment, fire, explosion, disruption to energy supplies, property or equipment damage, and costly repairs. Even the slightest failure can lead to a shutdown of your operations, which can mean significant financial losses.

When you need to pressurize, store, treat, and process a variety of materials, such as petroleum fuels, chemicals, and other fluids, there’s no room for error. What’s happening inside that reactor (mixing, distillation, heat transfer, evaporation, chemical synthesis, phase changing, or polymerization to name a few) needs to stay inside the reactor until it’s time to release the product. You know that. But you also want to feel rest assured that your ASME reactor fabricator takes it as seriously as you do.

The Boardman team has been fabricating under strict specifications since 1910, and we’re ready to bring that know-how and attention to detail to your reactor project. Contact us. Let’s discuss the details today.

“I am glad you guys do the newsletters. Educate AND do the work. Most don’t do this. It is similar to what Dave Ramsay says about looking for a Financial Advisor… look for one with a heart of a teacher.”

Equipment Engineer

“I would like to go out of my way to say this is the quickest I have seen a vessel come together. Your ability to manage this on such short notice does not go unnoticed and definitely will earn you some more business. Your professional approach and ability to keep this moving was amazing! I was hoping to see this thing through to the end and see about getting some Guiness world record trophy on our walls.”

“Your engineering team has gone above and beyond for our current projects. We have thrown quite a few changes at them and they have dug into code details that are not normally required to satisfy the requests of some of our SME folks. They are always available, even when they’re off or on weekends to help answer any urgent questions. I tried to find something we can do to help recognize the extra efforts, but could not come up with anything. Thank you for the efforts and willingness to work with us so closely on these urgent jobs.”

“It was great pleasure and it was sure a huge effort pulled by Boardman organization. Promoting such events are very helpful to the engineering community in general but very few places realize the same. Boardman being exceptional and very hospitable place to be for this event. I want to say Thank You Boardman!”

“Thank you and everyone at Boardman for an excellent 2 days of training and exceptional hospitality. While it gave me the opportunity to get out of the office for 2 days, it was also a great training/refreshing opportunity for me and on top of it, I got to visit your facility, which I think is quite impressive. Hope to have some more work in your shop soon. There are several folks here who were amazed when I told them that you guys had welding stations set up and each of us got to weld and try out as many as 4 welding processes. Please keep me posted on the next training session.”

“I just wanted to share some photos of the Deisobutonizer being lifted into place yesterday. None of this would have been possible without your efforts in both the manufacturing and transport of the tower. This is the largest structure on the project and you all deserve a lot of credit for this milestone. It was not only a pleasure to work with you all on this fabrication and hauling to site of the monstrosity but it was a privilege to have such a team behind us to make this happen with no incident and what on the surface seemed child’s play. You all should be very proud of yourselves and your collective teams and firms, without you none of this was even conceivable.”
