Stationary Equipment

Stationary equipment is a general classification of mechanical equipment that does not move.  Depending on the company it may be called "fixed equipment”, "static equipment” or "stationary equipment”.

Stationary equipment refers to machinery or equipment that remains fixed in place during operation and is not designed to be moved from one location to another.  This type of equipment is commonly used in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, and energy.

Stationary equipment may be powered by electricity, natural gas, oil, or other fuels.  They may also require various types of maintenance, such as regular inspections, cleaning, and replacement of parts or components.  It is important to follow manufacturer recommendations and safety guidelines when operating and maintaining stationary equipment to prevent accidents, equipment failure, or other safety hazards.  Proper installation and setup of stationary equipment is also essential for ensuring safe and efficient operation.  This may include tasks such as anchoring equipment to a stable foundation, providing appropriate ventilation or exhaust systems, and connecting equipment to appropriate power sources and control systems.

• Filter and Separator  -  A device that removes solid particles from a fluid (liquid or gas) by passing it through a porous medium.  A separator is a device that divides mixtures into distinct components based on differences in physical properties such as density, size, or phase (e.g., gas-liquid or liquid-liquid separation).
• Furnace and Boiler  -  A device used to generate heat, typically by combustion, for industrial processing or space heating.  A boiler is a closed vessel in which water or another fluid is heated to produce steam or hot liquid under pressure for power generation, heating, or process use.
• Heat Exchanger  -  A device designed to transfer heat between two or more fluids at different temperatures without direct mixing, commonly used in heating, cooling, and energy recovery systems.
• Piping System -  An auxiliary components used in piping systems to support, protect, monitor, or control fluid flow.  These include supports, hangers, expansion joints, strainers, and instrumentation elements.
• Pressure Vessel  -  A closed container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from ambient pressure, constructed according to established engineering codes to ensure safety.
• Storage Tank  -  A container used to store liquids, gases, or bulk materials, typically at atmospheric or low pressure, and designed based on the properties of the stored substance.
