12" ASME Hydrocarbon Recovery Vessel
ABOUT THIS PART
12 in ASME code stamped hydrocarbon recovery vessel, $27,250. 6,665 cubic inches, 250 psi (17.2 bar) at 200 F (93 C) with a 130 psi (9.0 bar) jacket, supplied as a complete column: top cap with fittings, jacketed vessel, bottom sight spool with thermocouple, and a jacketed heated bowl reducer with a valved 3/8 in pour spout.
This is the recovery vessel N.B. Oler builds into the 20 LB system, and the 40 LB Double Barrel runs two of them. Buy it on its own to add recovery capacity, to replace a legacy 8 in or 10 in vessel, or to put a code stamped vessel into a system that never had one.
BUILT, NOT RESOLD
- N.B. Oler holds the ASME U stamp. This vessel is welded, pressure tested and stamped in our own shop in Bend, Oregon.
- Design calculations are 3P Certz report DCR-210020 Revision 0, prepared by Brian Kester, PE, released 26 May 2021, to ASME BPVC Section VIII Division 1, 2019 edition.
- Registered in Canada under CRN R8841.5 for the inner vessel, with the jacket exempt.
- Part number NB-HC-REC-12-R1. Every vessel is serialized and traceable to its material certifications.
- Zero corrosion allowance, joint efficiency 0.6, formed and welded construction, passivated after pressure test.

FITS
- N.B. Oler 20 LB and 40 LB Double Barrel hydrocarbon systems.
- Replaces the legacy 8 in and 10 in recovery vessels, which were never rated for liquid CO2 jacket service.
- Butane, propane and blends, including straight propane. Not for ethanol service.
- Custom top caps and port arrangements are quoted by email rather than sold from this page.
LEAD TIME AND TERMS
- 20 weeks from paid order to shipment.
- Paid in full before it ships. We do not offer net 30 or purchase order terms.

CONSUMABLES
The 250 psi (17.2 bar) cryogenic relief valve on this vessel is a 3 to 6 month item, and the high flow Conrader SRV530 goes on the top cap. Gaskets are Viton on a 3 to 6 month schedule, clamped with 6 in high pressure tri clamps.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What is included?
The complete column: top cap with fittings, the jacketed 12 in vessel, a bottom sight spool with thermocouple, and a jacketed heated bowl reducer with a valved 3/8 in pour spout.
What is the pressure rating?
250 psi (17.2 bar) at 200 F (93 C) on the inner vessel and 130 psi (9.0 bar) at 200 F (93 C) on the jacket, with a minimum design metal temperature of -155 F (-104 C) on both.
What pressure was it tested to?
325 psi (22.4 bar) on the inner vessel and 202 psi (13.9 bar) on the jacket, both at 70 F (21 C). Those are the hydrostatic test pressures in design report DCR-210020-R0.
Can I pull a vacuum on it?
Yes. Both the vessel and the jacket are rated for full vacuum.
Can I run liquid CO2 in the jacket?
The jacket on this vessel is for hot water from a temperature control unit, 30 psi (2.1 bar) maximum supply, and carries no relief valve by design. Chilling happens elsewhere on the system.
Is it ASME stamped?
Yes. ASME Section VIII Division 1, 2019 edition, with the U stamp. Design calculations are 3P Certz report DCR-210020 Revision 0, prepared by Brian Kester, PE, released 26 May 2021.
What is it made of?
SA-312/304 shell, SA-240/304 ellipsoidal heads and jacket shell, SA-479/316 port nozzles, welded with SFA 5.9 / ER308L filler, zero corrosion allowance.
Can I use it in Canada?
Yes. The inner vessel is registered as CRN R8841.5. The jacket is exempt.
What is the lead time?
20 weeks.
How does it ship?
LTL freight, in a crate 80 in long x 16 in wide x 22 in tall weighing 600 lb. Freight is quoted and invoiced after the crate is measured, not charged at checkout.
Will it fit my older system?
It replaces the legacy 8 in and 10 in recovery vessels. Call 541-330-6409 with your serial number so we can check the rack and the manifold before you order.
Do you offer net 30 or purchase order terms?
No. Vessels are paid in full before they ship.
