ACE undertakes design, detailed engineering, manufacture, testing, certification and code stamping of pressure vessels to ASME Sec VIII Div 1, Div 2, EN13445, AS 1210, IS 2825, AD 2000-Merkblatt etc. BEV holds ASME ‘U’ and U2 Stamps for manufacture and National Board ‘R’ Stamp for repair and recertification. BEV is also authorized by the National Board to use ‘NB’ Stamp. The plant is approved by Hartford Steam Boiler UK Ltd. (Notified Body) for manufacture of pressure vessels under Pressure Equipment Directive PED 2014/68/EU of the European Union, Module H1 and H. BEV is also authorized by TUV Rheinland to manufacture pressure vessels under AD 2000 Merkblatt Module HP0. Welding Management System is certified to ISO 3834-2 by TUV Rheinland.
Pressure vessels for various applications such as air receivers, columns, reactors, towers, digesters, pig launchers – receivers etc. can be manufactured and / or repaired. Also, pressure vessels under Indian Boiler Regulations, 1950 such as boiler steam / mud drums, blow down tanks, HP Heaters, Deaerators, headers for various applications such as waterwall headers, economizer / superheater / reheater headers etc. can be manufactured and IBR stamped.
We also manufacture pressurized transportable tanks for hazardous chemicals with Code Stamp, PED certification and IMDG, ADR, RID, US DOT, UK DfT certification.
BEV has a team of competent design engineers, design associates and draftsmen experienced in the field. Generally PV Elite supplemented with custom developed spread sheets is used for mechanical design and latest version of Autocad for drafting. Finite element analysis, stress analysis etc. can also be carried out by our design associates. In case process design or design of vessel internals is required, we can establish arrangements with well known European engineering companies operating from India or Europe.
Materials of construction range from carbon steel, alloy steel through stainless steel including SMO (6% Mo) and Duplex / Super Duplex Stainless Steel and exotics such as Incolloy, Hastelloy, Monel, CuNi, Titanium etc. For material preparation, we have a CNC profile cutter with plasma and oxy fuel torches. We can roll shells up to 85 mm thick and 3.2 M wide. Cold working is maximized with CNC band saw, Universal Steel Worker etc.
We have a wide range of welding manipulators such as column and boom 4 M x 7 M, heavy duty rotators up to 100 tons and positioners up to 5 tons. We have the entire range of welding gear viz., SAW, SMAW, GTAW and FCAW welding machines. We also have BugO Speed Weaver welding oscillator for GTAW / FCAW. There are also baking and holding ovens for welding electrodes and flux, apart from portable quivers for welders and welding operators. For stainless steel and exotics, there is a purpose built, segregated area.
