Examining Tray Parts

Photo taken during a process unit turnaround in a petroleum refinery.

 

Two engineers examine the internal parts of a distillation or fractionation vessel. The parts are fabricated in pieces that would be able to be passed through a given circular manway perhaps 20"-24" in diameter.

 

The man on the left is a Materials Engineer, concerned about corrosion and wear among other things.

 

The man on the right is a Process Engineering Supervisor. Engineers working under that super's position make sure that equipment is selected correctly and during this situation, fit to be returned into position for reuse within the processing vessel from which they were removed.
