ATB GROUP - Heavy Equipment for the Oil & Gas Industry
Oil and natural gas touch our lives in countless ways every day. More than 60 percent of our daily energy needs is supplied by hydrocarbons and gas, keeping us warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather, cooking our food and heating our water, generating our electricity, and powering our cars, buses, trains, ships and planes.
ATB Group is an international designer and manufacturer of process equipment for the Oil and Gas industry, a specialist in ammonia and urea production plants, petrochemical plants and gas treatment plants.
Innovation, diversification and research of new markets are our guidelines.We create new collaborative business models, by establishing relationships with partners, suppliers and customers, and leveraging our worldwide sales network.
Heavy equipment business unit takes advantage of ATB Group long and successful operation experience as a world leader in the design, fabrication and inspection of equipment utilized in the oil and gas industry, refinery and petrochemical plants operating under the most severe pressure and temperature conditions under corrosion and hydrogen attacks.
ATB Group`s design experience covers almost the complete range of oil and gas components required for Upstream, Midstream and Downstream applications. Due to the continuous improvement required for higher productivity of refineries and petrochemical plants, the thickness, diameter and weight of reactors and vessels have increased drastically and reached the limits of the current manufacturing technology.
ATB Group has become one of the world leaders in manufacturing of Cr, Mo Steel alloys including the lastest generation of vanadium modified alloys. The company has developed special expertise in welding stainless steel and duplex urea grade corrosion resistant materials.
ATB Group focus is on the most challenging jobs. High-end, reliable facilities and skilled workers have enabled the company to specialize in manufacturing pressure vessels of exceptional characteristics.

The company has delivered equipment up to 358 mm thick and a maximum weight of 1620 tons in one single piece. Some of our achievements are as follows:
- Thickness:CLG process HCK reactor 358 mm
- Weight:UOP Process MHC Reactor, 1620 tons
- Length: C2 Splitter Column, 100 m
- Temperature:CCR Reactor that withstand 650°C Columns that withstand –196°C
- Pressure:Pressure vessel that withstand 46 MPa
In the early 1970’s, ATB became the first company in Italy that was qualified by ASME as an authorized holder of U, U2 stamps for manufacturing pressure vessels intended for the United States.
Due to an ever-increasing productivity of refineries and petrochemical plants, the thickness, diameter and weight of the relevant reactors/vessels have increased, reaching the limits of the current manufacturing technology. The company has been able to improve its fabrication technology to keep pace with this increase as well as with the market requirements for upgrading the manufacturing materials.
All the steels produced under ASTM, DIN, British standards, and all the western European standards are widely used by the company to make pressure vessels. These include: carbon steel, carbon steel with HIC properties, carbon steel for low temperature applications, all low alloy steels (1/2Mo, 1Cr 1/2Mo up to 2 1/4Cr 1Mo including the lastest developments of the materials with enhanced properties and Vanadium modified chemical composition), 9% nickel steels for cryogenic service, and stainless steel.
ATB Group is now among the very few companies that are qualified to work extensively this Vanadium modified materials.
