ALS manufacturers are involved in manufacturing, building, and assembling Offshore booster compressor units, which include DNV skids and air receiver vessels, and they package everything in-house. To ensure quality control throughout the entire package preparation: no third-party manufacturers are used to assemble this booster compressor. As an engineer for the company, it is your task to design the air receiver vessel (pressure vessel) for the Compressor skid (as shown in the diagram) required for an offshore platform. This air receiver is used to store compressed air and is mounted vertically (See photo), the material used is an Aluminium alloy, and the Height of the Compressor skid is 10ft. See excel file “LO2 Data” Determine: 1. The required material thickness (in inches) required for the air receiver shell. 2. The required material thickness (in inches) required for the air receiver head. Note: According to the design standard, the head thickness = 2.5 x Shell thickness 3. Based on the material thickness, the most effective type of pressure vessel Head required (Ellipsoidal or Torispherical). 4. The principal stresses that occur in the cylinder.
