This project consisted of (6) identical vessels 192” ID x 384” long (316/316LL Stainless Steel). (2) of these vessels also had 2” thick insulation with 3/16” thick SS sheathing covering the entire unit. All of this sheathing had to be seal-welded, which meant utilizing blockout rings for nozzles and custom-designed/fit boxes where the legs fit up to the bottom head. These vessels were transported via barge on the Mississippi River to their ultimate destination in Indiana.
