Today Verolme Special Equipment has completed her first large transport from the new facilities in Moerdijk. For a refinery in Belgium, Verolme has built two large (fully dressed) pressure vessels. Both vessels are transported to the RoRoDock close to our factory where they were loaded on a large barge. further transport is done over water. Raw dimensions of smallest vessel: Length : ± 22m. Diameter : ± 7m. Weight : 96 MT Raw dimensions of largest vessel: Length : ±40 m. Diameter : ±8 m. Weight : 86 MT  
 
At the Belgian refinery arises in the context of this project over the coming years a so-called High Pressure Hydro Treater (HPHT). This is a system that removes sulfur with hydrogen under high pressure from diesel. The new hydro Treaters will enable the refinery to produce more low-sulfur diesel. An important part is for export.
