Abstract
This method relates to the production of a package (33) by assembling a fluid-confining internal structure (1), an external structure (2) surrounding the internal structure, and at least one functional item of equipment (12, 15) on at least the internal structure. The internal structure (1) is pre-equipped before it is introduced into the external structure (2) by being pulled in along a longitudinal axis of the package. The method is applicable to the construction of packages of air-distillation columns surrounded by their support framework.
Claims15
Method of producing a package having a cryogenic fluid-confining internal structure, an external structure surrounding the internal structure, and functional items of equipment on at least the internal structure, said internal structure being intended to form at least a part of a fluid supply plant, the method comprising the steps of:
- pre-equipping at least the internal structure with at least part of at least one functional item of equipment so as to obtain a pre-equipped internal structure;
- introducing the pre-equipped internal structure into the external structure by pulling it along a longitudinal axis of the package when said external structure is placed substantially horizontally;
- and
- assembling the internal structure and the external structure.
