Deprest and sustainability

Deprest and sustainability

Sustainability is a key value at Deprest.

We naturally try to apply this value at company level like everyone else by, among other things

- generating our own energy as much as possible by means of solar panels

- limiting our energy consumption

- sorting our waste – in this respect Deprest is obviously fortunate with its waste flow, since most of our waste (metal scrap) is 100% recyclable.

In addition to these traditional ways of contributing to sustainability, the projects we work on are very often intended for sustainable projects. We regularly manufacture parts for wind farms, we make sump tanks for ships (where all waste is collected, while in the past it was simply dumped into the sea). As many of our tanks are used to make processes cleaner, we also contribute indirectly to a better, more sustainable world.

Filter Baskets in the spotlight

Filter Baskets in the spotlight

The purpose of this article is to put the production of industrial filters (which are often small pressure vessels) and more specifically associated filter baskets in the spotlight.

As a rule, these filter baskets need to be very sturdy given the flow rates, pressures (and the occasional less gentle treatment by technicians) they have to withstand. This means that, notably when assessing quotations, you should make sure that you are ‘comparing apples with apples’, so to speak.

The difference between a light and a sturdy basket version can, for example, determine whether it can be used for just 6 months or last for years.

 Perfect welding in the spotlight

Perfect welding in the spotlight

There is welding and... welding. Look closely at the welds in the attached photo: perfect work, isn’t it? Whether the process used is manual welding as shown in this photo, or submerged arc welding, plasma keyhole welding, automatic or semi-automatic welding – to name but a few – not only do our welds always look impeccable; various NDT testing methods such as RX, MT, and more, also confirm it.

How come Deprest’s welding is of such high quality?

Sump tank

Sump tank

A sump tank is a holding tank where all the waste produced at sea is collected. The waste that used to be simply discharged into the sea is now collected and brought ashore without polluting.

This sump tank is double walled (stainless steel and steel) and built according to standards EN12285-2 - ASME VIII - EN 1993-4.It also complies with finishing standard P3.

No, your eyes are not deceiving you: this tank has a diameter of 3200 mm and a length of 15500 mm.

Ready to leave the building

In the attached photo you will find a stripping column acc to ASME VIII div. 1 cat. IV manufactured in SA-215 Gr60.

After we made a similar column in 2016 our satisfied costumer ordered a second this year.

Aluminium structure

Aluminium structure

In the autumn Deprest contributed to an artistic project, which consisted in an aluminium structure for a major show.

The structure involved one large central ring with a diameter of 8 metres and 4 hinged metal legs.

Watch the video to get a good feel of what went on in our workshop. It also demonstrates how the articulations of the structure were tested.

PQR database

PQR database

Obviously, skilled people and state-of-the-art machinery are the beating heart of a company, and, fortunately, Deprest has both.

Yet, the many PQRs accumulated by Deprest over the years are another asset that shouldn't be underestimated in our sector.

(W)PQR stands for (Welding) Procedure Qualification Record and is a standardised procedure for welding certain materials, positions and thicknesses as a certified workshop. Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) are supported by the PQRs.

The approval of a PQR is done by and under the supervision of an external inspection body and can quickly reach a cost of 3,500 euros or more per qualification, not including the company's own costs (such as joint preparation and welding time). Considering that, as a workshop, Deprest has over 100 PQRs, you do the math...

Pressure vessel in the spotlight

Pressure vessel in the spotlight

Appearances can be deceptive: this pressure vessel was rather complex

The specifications are:

  • 25 bar
  • 1000 litres
  • manufactured to EN13445 standard
  • compliance with PED2014/68/EU CAT IV mod G

The complexity of the project stemmed from the customer’s requirement to be able to look into the pressure vessel at any height. Deprest resolved this problem by placing three sight glasses at three different levels.

Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)

Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)

SAW welding - Submerged Arc Welding

Various names for the same process.

This is an automated arc welding process, which involves feeding a wire, just like with an electrode, but in which the coating of the electrode is replaced by a protective powder. The machine applies a blanket of granular fusible material on the work just before the welding process, and sucks it up again once it is completed.

It is a very powerful welding process, also allowing high welding speeds. It is especially suitable for longitudinal and circumferential seams, especially when multiple passes are necessary.

Welding job of thick sheets - up to 100 and 200 mm

Welding job of thick sheets - up to 100 and 200 mm

While most of the welds laid in our workshop are between 6 to 10 mm and 20 to 30 mm, some welds are well above that. We can also weld plate thicknesses from 150 to as much as 200 mm. If a continuous weld is required, it goes without saying that a great many welding layers are necessary.

We can never afford mistakes, so you understand that the quality of the welds is all the more important. Imagine that RX testing performed on such a welded joint reveals welding defects deep inside...

New! Plasma keyhole welding derrick

New! Plasma keyhole welding derrick

Our new plasma keyhole welding derrick has been installed and initial tests look promising!

The welding derrick uses the same technology as our existing plasma keyhole welding installation, but has an automatic clamping system with integrated backing and cooling so that a flat or centred plate no longer needs to be spot welded, and just needs to be clamped together before welding.

Flat sheets thus remain straight and flat during welding; the machine produces a perfect continuous weld (for stainless steel, within a range of 2 to 10 mm) in one single pass and works at a very high speed.

Another pressure vessel has left the building

Another pressure vessel has left the building

It’s not suprising to see a pressure vessel leaving Deprest. We at Deprest are specialized in pressure vessel. Each week some vessels – large or small – leave the site. Our pressure vessels are made in steel, stainless steel and special alloys. We elaborate and follow projects from A to Z, inclusive technical calculations, design, testing, complete execution, and the testing and follow-up of the necessary inspections.

Skilled professionals

Deprest has spent several years installing cutting-edge technology and equipment.

Ever since 2013 when we added a new building, we have equipped ourselves with the latest technology in the areas of cutting, rolling and welding, and our new building has even been extended because it was too small. Notwithstanding all this new technology, we wouldn’t have gotten where we are without skilled professionals.
