Currently in production: a unique 50 m³ storage tank, made from stainless steel.

This storage tank is designed for coke oven and blast furnace gas condensates in the steel-producing industry. It is currently being manufactured from stainless steel by Albrecht Edelstahltechnik. The individual components are laser-cut, rolled and welded. All surfaces are pickled to a bare metal finish and passivated to provide corrosion protection. The double-walled vessel (outer material 1.4571; inner material duplex / 1.4462; sheet thickness 4 mm) has a diameter of 2.5 m. With a length of 10 m, the tank will weigh 7,350 kg upon completion at the Albrecht Edelstahltechnik works in the vessel fabrication area, including the Klöpper heads. The vessel is supported on three box-type supports. The non-destructive testing comprises X-ray inspection of the inner vessel, dye penetrant testing of all remaining welds, a helium leak test and a hydrostatic test. The double-walled test chamber will finally be fitted with a vacuum leak monitoring system.

The construction of such a high-quality and optimised storage tank requires the comprehensive expertise and high level of in-house manufacturing capability that we, as a specialist in high-performance plant and vessel construction, are able to offer our customers. Working closely with you, we also develop the right solution for you in-house from a single source – efficiently, with minimal coordination issues and with a valuable all-round service.
