Metals for the Petrochemical Industry

Metals for the Petrochemical Industry

The demanding nature of the Petrochemical industry requires high-performance sheet metal alloys for processing plants, worksite infrastructure and materials transportation. Rickard Metals and Engineering provide the understanding and the engineering knowhow to the primary petrochemical industry, from the drilling platform to the process manufactures and the processors of petrochemical intermediates and derivatives. In other words we understand the upstream and downstream requirements for metals in the petrochemical industry.

Two of the most common applications for the specialty manufactured sheet metal in the petrochemical industry include motorized and backdraft dampers. These plate assembles are use to control, restrict, or airflow. They are used for applications ranging from safely removing gaseous byproducts to creating separate temperature control zones within a building, plant or processing center. Dampers, specially constructed and coated pipes, exhaust tubes, storage drums, and structural supports are widely used in the petrochemical processing applications to minimize corrosion and maximize operational efficiency and safety. Oil refineries and petrochemical plants require carefully controlled environments to optimize not only the quality of their products, but also to extend the lifespan of frequently used equipment and create a safe and healthy environment for workers.

Rickard Metals and engineering specializes in providing the 304 and 316 stainless steel in sheets and bar. Rickard Metals and Engineering have been serving the petrochemical, oil and gas, power generation, construction, and electronics industries.
