ICL International Engineering Project
As part of a comprehensive engineering project for ICL Corporation, we designed and manufactured a 220 cubic meter polypropylene tank, meeting stringent process requirements and unique field specifications.
Project Phases:
Advanced Engineering Design
4-Month Design Phase - Full collaboration with Röchling Germany, ensuring compliance with complex chemical, mechanical, and operational specifications.
Precision Manufacturing Process
5-Month Manufacturing Phase - Utilizing advanced technologies and innovative techniques. To create the cylindrical section in the tank's lower portion, we were required to weld panels with exceptional 120mm thickness - representing a unique technical and operational challenge.
Transport and Site Installation
The tank was transported to site with 12 police escort vehicles due to its oversized dimensions. On-site execution included complete assembly, removal and disposal of a collapsed existing tank, and completion of piping connections, operational fittings, and auxiliary service systems.
