W E F C O (GAINSBOROUGH) LTD

Fuel tanks used in diesel generator applications are classified as daily tanks and main fuel tanks depending on generator fuel consumption and capacity. Fuel tanks are available in a wide range of versions, from prismatic or cylindrical, above-ground or underground, single-walled or double-walled, horizontal or vertical versions, to suit specific application.

We are specialized to design and fabricate carbon, stainless or exotic steel pressure vessels mainly for oil&gas, petrochemical and power industries in accordance with ASME Sec VIII Div.1 and EN Norms with CE mark. Most of the industrial processes need to store fluids and materials of different kinds and with different purposes.

Special features of the Lipp welding technology are the automated on site construction of above the ground cylindrical tanks made of various grades of duplex steel, stainless steel and black steel. Moreover, the technology also incorporates the post treatment of the weld and a visualized welding monitoring and the technical documentation of the process. Due to the flexible and mobile concept of the equipment, the installation can either be done on greenfield construction sites but also inside buildings or in places with limited access and working space.

FLEXIBLE, SAFE AND PROVEN THE WORLD OVER – THE LIPP DOUBLE SEAM SYSTEM Conventional systems are often unsuitable for the optimum, safe storage of solid or liquid substances and their use can result in premature corrosion, leaks and problems with safety. Flexibility is another important factor. Tanks must be flexible in terms of size and substrate and optimally adaptable to the local conditions. THE LIPP DOUBLE SEAM SYSTEM HAS PROVEN ITSELF TIME AND TIME AGAIN ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR MORE THAN 45 YEARS MULTI AWARDED. The principle of the LIPP Double Seam System is as follows the edges of steel strips are folded over together twice, connecting them together in such a way that even aggressive liquids inside the tank cannot find any surfaces to attack. The result corrosion is prevented and maximum leak tightness is achieved.
