Surface Filtration Technology, Pressure Equipment Design, Materials and Fluid Flow
Ulbrec Engineered Protection solutions benefit from deep application engineering experience and design knowledge. Engineered to order Ulbrec solutions have endured a myriad of challenges including in high temperature, high pressure, cryogenic, high viscosity, highly corrosive, reversing and pulsating flow.
Ulbrec Designs are optimised using Best Available Technology for:
- Flow area, distribution and filtration capacity
- Guaranteed filtration level
- Energy efficiency / low pressure drop / low noise - validated designs and Computational Fluid Dynamics design verification
- Ease of maintenance
- Avoidance of resonance - modal analysis
- Mechanical integrity - field-validated products, advanced manufacturing methods and Finite Element Analysis design verification
