Turnkey Clean-In-Place System Installed
A Tank That Towers Above the Rest
When we say big, we mean it. Our latest hot liquor tank towers at 16m tall and 10 tonnes — built, delivered, and installed by Able Engineering.
At Able Engineering, we love a challenge and our latest project certainly stood tall. Quite literally. We’ve just designed, built, and installed a 100m³ hot liquor storage system as a complete turn-key package. Measuring an impressive 16 meters high and 3.6 meters diameter, and weighing in at 10 tonnes, this stainless steel giant is one of many big scale projects we’ve completed for our clients.
More Than Just a Tank
This wasn’t just about building something big it was about creating a fully integrated solution. Our scope included:
Design and fabrication
Mechanical installation
Electrical installation
Custom-built software integration, allowing the system to work seamlessly with the site’s existing infrastructure.
Commissioning
Built to Perform
The tank is fully insulated and clad in stainless steel, designed to minimise heat loss while maintaining a steady 85°C. To support this, we engineered a purpose-built recirculation skid, a steam-driven plate heat exchanger, and added advanced monitoring instrumentation for total precision and reliability.
Big Engineering, Bigger Results
Manufacturing and installing a vessel of this scale is never straightforward — from fitting it into our workshop to transporting and safely commissioning it on-site. But thanks to our skilled engineers and project managers, the system is now up and running, delivering reliable hot liquor storage for our client.
Raising the Bar in Stainless Steel Fabrication
This project highlights what we do best at Able Engineering: combining size, precision, and performance to deliver bespoke solutions for our clients. Whether large-scale tanks or smaller tailored systems, our team is dedicated to engineering excellence from start to finish.
