Reactor is exposed to high compression and buckling loads approximately of 2,500 metric tons
The shell and top nozzle can take this loads because of size and thickness of the reactors
Skirt is the most critical component because it is thinner and lower part is manufactured from carbon steel

FIELD FABRICATIONFIELD FABRICATION
When size and weight of the vessel prohibits the transport in one piece, reactor is transported in two or more pieces and final fabrication is done on site
Fabrication of multi-piece reactors can be performed in horizontal or vertical position
