This is the large-sized equipment, the length of which reaches 30 m with a diameter over 3 m. Another defining feature of ordered distillation column is application of new grades of corrosion-resistant stainless steel in the process of production. In particular, it is the duplex (two-phase) steel, which thanks to its technological properties provides a maximum degree of strength of equipment at continuous operation in aggressive environments.

The quality of welded joints was tested with 100% radiographic testing and inspection of the capillary path. For the convenience of transportation column is divided into three shipping unit, where final assembly will take place directly at the customer’s site – a new process line for the production of soda ash, construction of which is currently being fulfilled by Soda Sanayi.

This is not the first time when PJSC “Sumy NPO” supplies products to this partner, known as the world’s leading manufacturer of light and dense soda ash, sodium bicarbonate and purified sodium silicate. This company uses column, centrifugal, pumping and other equipment produced by Sumy NPO.

In general, the Company’s cooperation with Turkish partners was established in the late 90-ies of the last century. “Eskisehir” and “Bursa” compressor stations (CS) were constructed with the active participation of Sumy engineers in this country at the turn of the millennium. Since 2009, equipment manufactured by the Company has been operating competently at “Sivas” station, located at an altitude of about 1500 m above sea level. Nowadays to expand existing capacity the reconstruction of the station is being carried out. And Sumy NPO helps in this. Actually, 16 MW turbo-compressor package is expected to supply to “Sivas” station in the autumn of this year.
