Straightpoint Wins WRE Photo of the Week

Straightpoint has won Wire Rope Exchange magazine’s Photo of the Week competition. The force measurement, load monitoring and suspended weighing load cell equipment manufacturer’s products were integral to the safe offload of a 718-ton absorption tower and a flash vessel from SAL Heavy Lift’s Type 116 MV Amoenitas vessel at the Port of New Orleans, Louisiana.

The absorption unit is an industrial-size tower (it measures 170 feet long; 24 feet wide; and 23 feet, 7 inches high) used to separate out components of rising gas, while the flash vessel, although smaller, will be the main component of the flash recovery system at the major installation project.

Full application story coming soon!
