Abstract
The present application relates to a vessel support beam comprising two or more beam elements wherein each beam element comprises a first and second opposing long side connected by a top side, a lower side and two opposing end sides, said beam elements are arranged parallelly with at least one long side of one beam element facing a long side of another beam element, thereby forming a reactor support beam having a first and second opposing long side surface, a top surface and a lower surface.
Claims15
A support beam configured to be installed inside a vessel comprising two or more longitudinal beam elements wherein each beam element comprises a first and second opposing long side connected by a top side, a lower side and two opposing end sides, said lower side having a width greater in dimension than said top side to form a bottom shoulder, said beam elements are arranged in parallel with at least one long side of one beam element facing a long side of another beam element, thereby forming the vessel support beam having a first and second opposing long side surface, a top surface and a lower surface, wherein each of said beam elements includes holes extending through the opposing long sides, such that holes of one beam element align with corresponding holes of an adjacent beam element, said support beam further comprising connecting means for locking the beam elements together, and wherein said bottom shoulder is adapted to support a number of catalyst grids, the beam further comprising protruding flaps configured to follow a curvature of an inner vessel wall.
