Custom Vertical Pressure Vessels

When your application demands efficiency and durability, BEPeterson’s vertical pressure vessels deliver proven performance built on decades of engineering expertise. Each vessel is custom-designed and fabricated to meet the precise needs of your process, whether for storage, separation or filtration.

With nearly a century of experience in precision metal fabrication, BEPeterson provides a seamless process from design to delivery. Our team collaborates closely with you to develop a vertical pressure vessel solution that meets exact specifications — including pressure ratings, materials and configurations — while complying with all industry standards.

Vertical Pressure Vessel Design

At BEPeterson, every vertical pressure vessel design begins with a deep understanding of your operational requirements. We engineer each vessel to withstand high internal pressures, temperature variations and environmental factors specific to your industry.

Our design process accounts for factors such as: 

  • Design and maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP)
  • Corrosion allowance and material selection
  • Nozzle orientation and internal component configuration
  • Thermal expansion and stress analysis

The result is a custom-built vessel that optimizes both performance and longevity — offering you an engineered solution, not a generic product. 

Vertical Pressure Vessel Engineering

Each project is assigned to a dedicated Project Engineer, facilitating clear communication and technical precision throughout the fabrication process. Our engineering team uses advanced modeling and simulation tools to validate performance and compliance with ASME Section VIII standards.

As an ISO 9001:2015 and ASME-certified manufacturer, BEPeterson maintains rigorous quality assurance from material traceability to final inspection. Our vertical vessels are built to meet demanding requirements from industries such as defense, energy, chemical processing and industrial manufacturing.

Regulatory Compliance and Standards

BEPeterson’s vertical pressure vessels are engineered and certified in accordance with key global standards, including:

  • ASME Section VIII, Division 1 and 2
  • TUV, NSF and CRN certifications
  • NIST and JCP requirements for defense projects

Our team aims to ensure every vessel meets or exceeds regulatory and customer specifications for performance and durability — providing complete confidence in your pressure system’s integrity.

Applications of Vertical Pressure Vessels

Our vertical ASME pressure vessels are used in a wide range of industries and applications, including:

  • Chemical and petrochemical storage: Designed to contain and manage corrosive or high-pressure materials with reduced risk.
  • Gas and liquid separation: Fabricated with precision to achieve efficient phase separation and optimal flow management in critical systems.
  • Heat exchange systems: Built to support consistent temperature control and energy transfer in heating and cooling operations.
  • Water treatment and filtration: Used in municipal and industrial settings for purification, pressurization and chemical dosing applications.
  • Energy and power generation: Engineered to meet high-performance standards in steam, fuel and renewable energy systems.
  • Defense and industrial processes: Manufactured to meet strict government and military specifications.

Each vessel is designed to handle unique operating conditions, providing customers with precise and reliable solutions that integrate seamlessly into their existing systems.
