The Challenge
A chemical plant in Canada, through RPS Composites, required high-quality separator vessels certified to the ASME RTP-1 standard. The challenge was to design and fabricate vessels that met stringent industry regulations and provided seamless integration into the plant’s operations.
The Solution
Finite Composite Consulting completed the design and fabrication drawings for these separator vessels, ensuring they were ASME RTP-1 stamped. The project benefited from cohesive design and fabrication drawings, all completed by a single, qualified designer.
The Story
Known as RPS 39665, this project was notable because the entire design and fabrication process was handled by Steve Wagner, ensuring consistency and quality. Most competitors produce designs that are hard to read and do not communicate well with drafters, but Finite Composite Consulting’s integrated approach provided clear, concise, and high-quality documentation.
Key Insights
Completing all aspects of the project personally allowed for a more cohesive and efficient approval process. This approach not only met regulatory standards but also added significant value by ensuring every detail was addressed by a licensed professional engineer.
