Center Enamel's Expertise in Welded Steel Tanks

Welded steel tanks remain a fundamental choice for industrial storage due to their versatility, cost-effectiveness, and proven track record of reliability. Center Enamel possesses extensive experience in the design, fabrication, and installation of a wide range of welded steel tanks, making them highly suitable for various applications within the Mongolian chemical industry.

Material Selection and Construction:

Our welded steel tanks are primarily constructed from high-grade carbon steel, carefully selected based on the specific chemical properties of the substance to be stored, the operational parameters, and critically, the extreme climatic conditions of Mongolia. We utilize various grades of carbon steel, with a strong emphasis on materials suitable for low-temperature service:

ASTM A36/SS400: For general purpose storage of non-corrosive chemicals at ambient temperatures and pressures. However, due to Mongolia's extreme cold, even for these applications, specific impact testing and cold-weather construction practices are crucial.

ASTM A283 Grade C: Offering improved tensile strength and ductility.

ASTM A516 Grades 60/70: Crucially, these are Pressure Vessel Quality (PVQ) plates specifically designed for moderate and lower temperature service where improved notch toughness is required. This makes them highly suitable for applications in Mongolia, where temperatures can drop significantly below freezing. These grades are essential for vessels storing liquids at higher pressures or operating in cold environments.

ASTM A333 Grade 6 (for piping components): While primarily a pipe material, its excellent low-temperature toughness indicates our understanding of material requirements for cold climates.

For enhanced corrosion resistance, particularly when dealing with mildly corrosive chemicals or to ensure longevity in general industrial use, internal coatings or linings can be applied to the steel tanks. These coatings, chosen based on their chemical inertness, abrasion resistance, and durability at varying temperatures, provide an additional barrier against chemical attack, extending the tank's service life and reducing maintenance requirements. Our coating specialists work closely with clients to recommend and apply the most suitable protective layers, such as epoxy, vinyl ester, or specialized cold-resistant polymer linings, tailored to the specific chemical environment and operational temperatures.

Design and Fabrication:

Our engineering team utilizes advanced design software, ensuring compliance with international standards such as API 650 (for atmospheric and low-pressure storage tanks), ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) Section VIII Division 1 (for unfired pressure vessels), and other relevant industry codes. Our fabrication facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art welding equipment and employ highly skilled, certified welders. We adhere to rigorous welding procedures, especially those qualified for low-temperature service and thick sections, including:

Submerged Arc Welding (SAW): For high-speed, high-quality welds on thick plates, often used for tank shell seams, providing excellent mechanical properties.

Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) / MIG: Versatile for various applications, offering good penetration and deposition rates.

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) / Stick Welding: For field welding and repairs, offering flexibility in various positions, including in challenging remote sites.

All welding processes are subject to stringent quality control, including non-destructive testing (NDT) methods such as radiographic testing (RT), ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle testing (MPT), and liquid penetrant testing (LPT) to ensure weld integrity, detect any defects, and verify material soundness, especially in cold-weather applications where fracture toughness is critical. Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) may also be performed for specific applications to reduce residual stresses and enhance material properties.

Applications in the Mongolian Chemical Industry:

Center Enamel's Expertise in Stainless Steel Tanks

For applications involving highly corrosive chemicals, sensitive products requiring high purity, or processes operating at extreme temperatures (both hot and cold), stainless steel tanks are the preferred choice. Center Enamel offers a comprehensive range of stainless steel tanks, renowned for their superior corrosion resistance, hygienic properties, and durability.

Material Selection and Grades:

Our stainless steel tanks are fabricated from various grades of stainless steel, each selected for its specific properties and suitability for different chemical environments and Mongolian climatic conditions:

SS304/304L: The most common general-purpose stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance to a wide range of chemicals, good formability, and weldability. SS304L (low carbon) is preferred for applications where welding is involved, as it minimizes carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion. Ideal for general chemical storage, food-grade applications, and non-chloride environments. While good, specific considerations for low-temperature impact properties are addressed for Mongolian applications.

SS316/316L: Provides superior corrosion resistance compared to 304, particularly in chloride-containing environments (e.g., some brines used in mining or processing, or coastal areas if applicable, though less common in landlocked Mongolia). The addition of molybdenum makes it ideal for handling various acids, and many aggressive chemicals common in industrial processes. SS316L (low carbon) is again preferred for welded structures to enhance resistance against intergranular corrosion. This grade offers a higher level of durability for demanding chemical applications in Mongolia.

Duplex Stainless Steels (e.g., 2205, 2507): These offer an even higher level of corrosion resistance and significantly greater strength than austenitic stainless steels (304, 316). They are particularly well-suited for highly aggressive chemical environments, high-pressure applications, and situations where weight reduction or extreme durability is critical. Duplex stainless steels provide excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, offering a robust solution for the most challenging chemical storage needs in Mongolia's industrial landscape.
