We are pleased to announce the successful completion of a major industrial DIC process piping project at Bulleh Shah DIC Kasoor. This comprehensive undertaking involved the full-scale installation, testing, and commissioning of multiple, critical process piping systems required to support advanced manufacturing and chemical processing operations.
This project highlights our expertise in executing complex, multi-system piping solutions, ensuring the safe, efficient, and precise delivery of materials essential for the industrial production sector.
Detailed Scope of Work: The Piping Systems Installed
The work at DIC Kasoor included installing nine distinct piping systems, each engineered to meet stringent industry standards for material compatibility, pressure rating, and safety.
Core Process Piping for Manufacturing
These systems are the lifeline for the facility’s production lines, transporting key raw materials and finished products:
- SOLVENT PIPING SYSTEM: Installation of specialized lines to safely and reliably transfer volatile organic solvents. This required non-corrosive materials and high-integrity welded joints to prevent leakage and ensure compliance with chemical safety regulations.
- VARNISH PIPING SYSTEM: Development of a dedicated network for handling and transferring industrial varnish. This system was designed to maintain precise viscosity and temperature to ensure product quality and smooth transfer to filling or mixing stations.
- REACTOR PIPING SYSTEM (SOLVENT BASED): Complex piping integration around the primary chemical reactors. This involves high-pressure and high-temperature specifications to manage the flow of solvent-based reactants and products into and out of the reaction vessels.
- REACTOR PIPING SYSTEM (WATER BASED): A separate, dedicated network for water-based reactants. This ensures zero cross-contamination between solvent and water-based processes, a critical requirement for product purity and safety at DIC Kasoor.
Utility and Support Piping Systems
These auxiliary systems ensure the smooth operation, temperature control, and safety of the entire plant:
- ST & CT PIPING SYSTEM: Installation of Steam (ST) and Condensate (CT) piping. The steam lines provide heat for various processes (e.g., product curing or distillation), while the condensate lines efficiently recover the condensed water back to the boiler, maximizing energy efficiency.
- CHILLED WATER SYSTEM: Piping for the delivery of chilled water to process units or HVAC systems for temperature regulation. This is crucial for cooling down reaction vessels and maintaining equipment within optimal operating temperatures.
- NITROGEN SYSTEM: Installation of high-pressure piping for an inert nitrogen gas network. Nitrogen is essential for blanketing storage tanks (to prevent fire/explosion) and purging lines (to remove oxygen or residual chemicals), drastically enhancing plant safety.
- COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM: Piping for the plant’s utility compressed air, powering pneumatic tools, automated valves, and general plant cleaning operations.
Finishing and Mechanical Identification
The final phase ensured long-term safety, maintainability, and professional aesthetics:
- PAINTING & FINISHING: All external piping was professionally prepared, primed, and painted. This protects the steel infrastructure from corrosion and extends its service life within the harsh industrial environment.
- MECHANICAL IDENTIFICATION: Implementation of a standardized, color-coded identification system, including flow arrows and labeling for all nine systems. This ensures quick, safe, and accurate identification of pipe contents, flow direction, and pressure levels for maintenance and emergency response personnel.
This project at DIC Kasoor solidifies our reputation for delivering specialized industrial piping solutions in Pakistan. By utilizing precise engineering and certified materials, we provided a system that is not only highly efficient but also fully compliant with global industrial safety and quality standards.
If you are planning an industrial upgrade or a new facility requiring complex process piping, utility piping, or chemical transfer systems, our experience at DIC Kasoor demonstrates our capability to manage your entire project lifecycle, from design support to final commissioning.
