Case Study: 2200 tons Prefabricated Duplex Steel Tank Plates Rolled for Paper Making

Prefabricated tank plates have been gaining popularity in the industry due to their various benefits over traditional tank fabrication methods. Recently, a project was completed that involved the fabrication of 2200 tons of prefabricated duplex stainless steel tank plates for paper making.

The project required the fabrication of tank plates with a diameter of 17.5m and a thickness of 22mm, which were made of duplex stainless steel. Duplex stainless steel is a material known for its high strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent weldability, making it an ideal material for tanks used in the paper-making industry.

The fabrication process of the prefabricated tank plates involved several steps. The first step was the cutting of the duplex stainless steel sheets into the desired size and shape. The sheets were then rolled to achieve the required diameter and thickness. The rolled plates were then subjected to heat treatment to improve their mechanical properties and remove any residual stress.

Benefits of using prefabricated tank plats

Prefabricated tank plate is a type of steel plate that is pre-cut and pre-welded to form a tank. This type of tank is often used for storing liquids, such as water, oil, or chemicals. Prefabricated tank plates offer a number of benefits over traditional tank construction methods, including:

  • Reduced construction time: Prefabricated tank plates can be assembled much more quickly than traditional tanks, saving time and money on construction costs.
  • Improved quality control: Prefabricated tank plates are manufactured in a controlled environment, which helps to ensure that they meet high quality standards.
  • Increased safety: Prefabricated tank plates are designed to be more structurally sound than traditional tanks, which can help to prevent leaks and other accidents.
  • Flexibility: Prefabricated tank plates can be customized to meet the specific needs of a project, which can save money and time in the long run.

Here are some additional benefits of using prefabricated tank plates:

  • Reduced environmental impact: Prefabricated tank plates are made from recycled materials, which helps to reduce the environmental impact of tank construction.
  • Increased durability: Prefabricated tank plates are made from high-quality materials that are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
  • Lower maintenance costs: Prefabricated tank plates are easier to maintain than traditional tanks, which can save money in the long run.
    The use of prefabricated tank plates offers several benefits over traditional tank fabrication methods. Prefabrication eliminates the need for on-site welding, which reduces the risk of welding defects and improves the overall quality of the tank. Additionally, prefabricated tank plates are easier to transport and assemble, which reduces the time and cost of tank construction.

Overall, prefabricated tank plates offer a number of benefits over traditional tank construction methods. They are faster to build, more reliable, and more cost-effective. If you are considering building a new tank, prefabricated tank plates are a great option to consider.
