Pressure vessels often have to comply with international standards and certificates, e.g:

ASME

PED

ISO 9001

AD 2000 leaflet

TÜV and CE certificates for safety and quality standards

To maximize the life and efficiency of pressure vessels, regular maintenance is required, including:

- Inspections for corrosion, cracks or leaks

- Inspection of gaskets and pressure safety valves (PSV)

- Cleaning of deposits or blockages (especially in adsorbers and agitated vessels)

- Inspection and maintenance of agitators or mechanical components

- Pressure tests to ensure structural integrity

The service life of pressure vessels varies depending on the type of vessel and the operating conditions. As a rule, well-maintained pressure vessels can last 10 to 30 years. Adsorbers and feedwater tanks may require earlier replacement or regeneration, while agitated vessels and steam drums can achieve a long service life with regular maintenance and inspection.

Feedwater tanks should be installed in companies that operate steam boilers or heat transfer systems, especially in industries such as power generation, food processing, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The feed water tank ensures that a sufficient quantity of high-quality water is always available to guarantee efficient and reliable steam boiler operation.

An adsorber is a pressure vessel that is used to absorb gaseous or liquid substances on solid surfaces. It is mainly used in the chemical and petrochemical industry, in exhaust gas purification, in water treatment or in the separation of gas mixtures. Adsorbers are often used to remove unwanted substances by adsorbing them on a solid medium (such as activated carbon or silica gel).
