Godrej Process Equipment here completed and shipped a 57-metre tall high
pressure/low pressure flash column for a US fertiliser project, being
constructed by Egypt's Orascom, an official said Friday.
The
stainless steel clad flash column has carbon steel as a base material
and stainless steel internals and is a significant addition to the long
list of critical equipment being manufactured by Godrej that are
operating in large process plants in the US, said GPE executive
vice-president and business head, Allen B. Antao.
The project in
US' Iowa state is a joint effort of Italy's Tecnimont, which is the
engineering procurement construction contractor, Orascom, being the
end-user to set up the plant and GPE responsible for the detailed
engineering and manufacturing of the HP/LP flash column and secondary
performer.
Displaying gigantic proportions, the $3 million column
stood a snaky 57 metres in length, with a diameter of 5.5/6.6 metres at
various points and weighs around 400 tonnes.
"It was loaded onto
a special trailer truck which would transfer it onto a specially
chartered heavy lift shipping vessel for its 35-day-long journey to the
US," said a company spokesperson.
The contract won against stiff
international competition, it took GPE around 14 months to construct the
flash column, which would reach the US in one piece.
