Duct Tank Stack Channel
Steel Components and Their Applications in Industrial Facilities
Steel materials and welded or bolted connections are widely used in the construction of ducts, tanks, stacks, and channels in industrial environments due to their unmatched strength, durability, and versatility. These components are vital to the functionality of systems in air handling, waste management, chemical storage, and energy production.
1. Ducts in Industrial Facilities
Application: Transport air, gases, or other fluids across industrial systems.
Types of Ducts
- Ventilation Ducts: Bring fresh air and remove stale air or gases.
- Exhaust Ducts: Carry fumes and pollutants to treatment or emission points.
- Heating/Cooling Ducts: Used in HVAC systems for temperature control.
Construction
- Welded Ducts: Provide permanent, leak-proof joints for large systems.
- Bolted Ducts: Suitable for modular systems requiring maintenance access.
Benefits
- Durability against heat, moisture, and corrosion
- Custom fabrication for specific layouts
Example: In power plants, welded steel ducts manage high-pressure combustion gases safely from chambers to filtration units.
2. Tanks in Industrial Facilities
Application: Used to store liquids, gases, or bulk solids in industrial settings such as chemical plants, refineries, and food factories.
Types of Tanks
- Storage Tanks: For raw materials, chemicals, water, or fuels.
- Pressure Vessels: Designed to withstand internal pressures.
- Separation Tanks: Used in phase separation operations like settling or decantation.
Construction
- Welded Tanks: For permanent, leak-proof use under pressure.
- Bolted Tanks: Modular, easier to assemble or relocate.
Benefits
- Excellent pressure and corrosion resistance
- Available in customizable capacities
Example: Welded steel tanks in oil refineries store thousands of gallons of crude or refined fuels under high safety standards.
