Carbon Filter Vessels Detailed Design

Our Client was awarded the supply of two carbon filter vessels and engaged us to provide detailed design, intended to be similar to a unit already in use at site

MAD3 (formerly Deacon Engineers) provided the design, independent verification and drawings in accordance with AS1210-2010 Pressure vessels

Scope Of Work

Design for the vessels to conform with AS1210-2010 Pressure vessels

  • Service: Air / Water filter
  • Design Press. / Temp.: 600 kPa / 2 to 90°C
  • Nominal dims.: 2660 x 3200 mm
  • Material: Coated Carbon Steel
  • Verification in accordance with AS 3920 Pressure equipment – Conformity assessment.


Project Challenges

  • Vessel required efficient charging with filter media
  • Filter plate would prevent effective in-service inspection if a single inspection opening was provided
  • Requirement to access the vessel from the top dished end
  • Filter nozzles prone to degradation
  • Internal coating required non-standard internal details.


How We Managed This

  • Inspection and charging nozzles arranged to optimise site arrangements with dual entry points
  • Removable davit designed to facilitate safe hoisting of personnel when entry was required from top of vessel
  • Internals designed to be compatible with non-standard internal coating.


Value Engineering

  • Access arrangements custom designed to meet site requirements
  • Designed to allow application of long term durable internal coating
  • Safe access using non-standard entry means
  • Openings optimised for charging and monitoring charge of media.
