Tower equipment procurement time
Thread Content
Dear experts, I have a question: in chemical engineering projects, when are tower equipment, heat exchangers, and reaction vessels generally purchased – during the basic design phase, the detailed design phase, or already at the process planning stage?
We are currently involved in a project. The client is now in the equipment procurement phase; they are carrying out civil construction work. The design agency has already prepared the layout for the factory building. At this stage, final design decisions regarding the production processes and the placement of equipment are being made
Long-cycle equipment is generally purchased at the detailed design stage. For tower equipment, its internal components should be ordered before the purchase of the tower’s shell; the determined diameter of the tower and the relevant equipment specifications are then provided to the manufacturer of the tower shell. We have extensive experience in this area, and we hope to be able to assist the original poster!
Tower equipment is considered to have a long lead time; procurement usually begins during the detailed design phase. Moreover, the design drawings and weight of the tower equipment influence the design of the civil structure.

Jiangyin Xingcheng Special Steel mainly produces products with a thickness of 6mm to 610mm, a width of 1400mm to 4100mm, and a length of 3000mm to 25000mm; the maximum weight per piece is 48 tons. Larger-sized steel plates can also be supplied as required. The available types of steel plates include carbon structural steel plates, low-alloy high-strength steel plates, steel plates for bridges, steel plates for building structures, steel plates for shipbuilding and offshore platforms, steel plates for boilers and pressure vessels, steel plates for molds, alloy structural steel plates, steel plates for oil and gas pipelines, high-strength and high-toughness steel plates, corrosion-resistant steel plates, composite steel plates, etc. – a total of 12 categories with over 300 domestic and international grades. It can be supplied in accordance with standards such as national standards, metallurgical standards, American AISI and ASME standards, ASTM standards, Japanese JIS standards, German DIN standards, French NF standards, British BS standards, European EN standards, and international ISO standards. Steel plates resistant to delamination (thickness-direction properties) of grades Z15–Z35 can be produced. The delivery condition of the steel plates can be adjusted according to the performance requirements of the users; they can be delivered in states such as hot-rolled, controlled-rolling, normalized, tempered, annealed, normalized and tempered, quenched, or heat-treated.
