Detachable pipe rack module with detachable connectors for use in a processing facility

A pipe rack module adapted to be connected to and disconnected from at least one associated equipment module that is located in a fluids processing facility, the module comprising:

• a substantially rectangular elongated frame having a longitudinal axis and including a plurality of connected framing members comprising horizontally oriented framing members which extend parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongated frame, uprights, cross-braces which extend normal to the longitudinal axis of the elongated frame and bracing members which extend diagonally in relation to the horizontally oriented framing members and connect a first horizontally extending framing member to a second horizontally extending framing member which is vertically spaced from the first horizontally extending framing member wherein the plurality of framing members cooperate to define a top surface, a bottom surface, a first side surface and a second side surface of the frame, wherein the frame has a height, a width and a length;
• a pipe support defined by the frame, the pipe support comprising the cross-braces of the frame;
• a plurality of spaced primary pipes supported on the pipe support, wherein the plurality of primary pipes each extend horizontally in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongated frame and at least one of the plurality of primary pipes extends from a first end of the frame to a second end of the frame;
• at least one connector pipe comprising a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to an upper surface of one of the plurality of primary pipes and the second end terminating at the bottom surface of the frame and comprising a flange adapted for connection to and disconnection from a pipe located beneath the frame.

A pipe rack module assembly including an upper module adapted to be connected to and disconnected from a lower module that is located in a fluids processing facility, the module assembly comprising:

• wherein the upper module comprises a substantially rectangular elongated frame having a longitudinal axis and including a plurality of connected framing members comprising horizontally oriented framing members which extend parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongated frame, uprights, and cross-braces which extend normal to the longitudinal axis of the elongated frame wherein the plurality of framing members cooperate to define a top surface, a bottom surface, a first side surface and a second side surface of the frame, wherein the frame has a height, a width and a length;
• a pipe support defined by the frame, the pipe support comprising the cross-braces of the frame;
• a plurality of spaced primary pipes supported on the pipe support, wherein the plurality of primary pipes each extend horizontally in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongated frame from a first end of the frame to a second end of the frame;
• a plurality of support elements, each support element extending vertically upward from the pipe support, each support element spacing a respective one of the primary pipes vertically upward from the cross braces of the frame;
• and
• at least one connector pipe comprising a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to an upper surface of one of the plurality of primary pipes and the second end terminating at the bottom surface of the frame, the second end comprising a flange adapted for connection to and disconnection from a pipe located beneath the frame and supported by the lower module.
