  • Oil distillation vacuum column with thickened plate in the vapor horn section
    Patent number: 7588664
    Abstract: A vacuum column for oil distillation incorporates a thickened plate that has a layer of erosion-resistant material that is thicker than the corrosion-resistant thickness of an adjacent column section. Use of thickened, explosive- or roll-bonded clad plates may provide better service than either conventional plug-welded liners or conventional shell plates with weld overlays.
