Overview

The concept

A two-layer cylindrical cage around distillation columns and critical vertical units, on a structural frame independent of the column. The outer layer takes the impact, dedicated connectors link the two layers, and the inner layer catches debris.

Proposed purpose

To study protection for tall vertical units with no structural connection to them, while keeping maintenance access.

Introductory details

Applications, components and considerations

Potential applications

■  Distillation columns

■  Reactors and vertical process units

■  Tall assets of operational importance

Components (overview level)

■  Outer high-strength net layer

■  Heat-resistant inner layer

■  Replaceable connectors between layers

■  Galvanised steel frame with maintenance walkways

Integration & maintenance

■  Modular frame assembled in stages

■  Removable top panels for major maintenance

■  Visual indicators for connector condition

■  Independent testing and numerical analysis before any application

Note: Images and models are conceptual visualisations for presentation and development purposes. Any actual application is subject to engineering study, testing and the required approvals.

Discuss this concept for your project

The concept serves as a starting point for discussion; the suitable solution is defined after a site study, testing and the necessary approvals.
