Pressure Vessel Industry News….

STANREF INTERNATIONAL LIMITED/Stanref International (2017) Limited

The company, founded in 1982 and based in Suffolk, is sadly insolvent.

STANREF INTERNATIONAL LTD had been a leading manufacturer of pressure vessels and heat exchangers for the commercial & industrial refrigeration industries since 1982. Over the next decade they also targeted the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical and Process sectors and saw their presence in these markets expand steadily; they finally closed their doors in March 2018.  Abbott and Company manufacture many of the products they produced and have helped out many clients needing a similar product.

Their pressure vessel product range encompassed all requirements of the refrigeration market and included Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers, Liquid Receivers, Oil Separators, Surge Drums, Oil Recovery vessels etc.

They regularly designed and manufactured bespoke products to meet customers’ specific requirements, pressure vessels and heat exchangers for other industries including water process, compressed air driers, pneumatic powder handling, etc., and were regular suppliers to refrigeration contractors for the Royal Navy.

Stanref also produced Heater Shells and Filtration vessels for their Oil & Gas, Petrochemical and Process customers, in addition to De-Sander and De-Oiler vessels, often incorporating a hydro-cyclone design.

DESIGN & MANUFACTURE

Stanref International had a 2044 sq.m. factory located in the historic Suffolk town of Bury St. Edmunds, with all design and manufacture carried out in accordance with ISO 9001:2008 Quality Assurance System, and the majority of their products were produced in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive – Dir.97/23/EC – and CE marked where applicable, up to full ‘Quality Assurance’ Module H and H1 conformity. Stanref also held an ASME U1 Certificate with National Board authorisation.

Mechanical design was carried out using either the PV-Elite software package or their  in-house design programmes, in accordance with PD5500, ASME VIII Div. 1 or TEMA as appropriate, thermal design with the Aspen EDR software package, backed up by tried and tested empirical data gathered from extensive testing; they also ran several AutoCad and Draftsite 2d stations, with additional Solidworks 3d design capabilities

Stanref had an in-house package fabrication facility, from which they regularly supplied refrigeration surge packs, compressor refrigeration packs and other bespoke equipment to customers’ own designs.

They were  members of both The Welding Institute and the British Refrigeration Association.
