Manufactured according to ASME Section VIII and ISO 9001 guidelines, our high-surface-area column packings, custom deep-drawn casings, and liquid distribution systems are engineered to resist aggressive industrial environments across Latin America.
Seamless press-fitted stainless steel and copper-aluminum alloy cylinders designed for high-pressure process seals and bubble cap column risers.
Thermoformed counterflow and crossflow film fills with reinforced anti-fouling flute profiles for tropical petrochemical heat rejection plants.
Progressive die-stamped floating and fixed tray valves, hold-down clips, and chimney tray riser components stamped to sub-millimeter tolerances.
Ultra-low pressure drop woven stainless steel wire gauze corrugations, optimized for vacuum distillation systems and high-purity ethanol refining.
Hydraulically formed multi-stage drawn cups, liquid collection troughs, and condenser sleeves crafted from AISI 316L and copper alloys.
High-voidage stainless steel and copper mesh mist eliminators engineered for knock-out drums, entrainment separators, and FPSO scrubbers.
Sealed deep-drawn enclosures and hardware casings for specialized agrochemical packaging, sampling canisters, and process reagents.
High-capacity random packing rings featuring internal curved finger projections for efficient gas-liquid redistribution in bio-refinery scrubbers.
Brazil's expanding processing industries—spanning sugarcane ethanol biorefineries in São Paulo to FPSO offshore gas processing in the Santos Basin—require purpose-built tower packing internals that balance hydraulic capacity, fouling resistance, and corrosion survival.
Brazilian ethanol distilleries operating second-generation (2G) biomass processes require precise vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) management. Standard structured corrugations often suffer from premature fouling due to residual organic gums and vinasse foam carryover. Our modified structured packing lines integrate variable perforations and electropolished wire gauze surfaces that maintain a low Height Equivalent to a Theoretical Plate (HETP) down to 250–350 mm, enabling plant engineers to achieve fuel-grade anhydrous bioethanol purities exceeding 99.5% with reduced reboiler thermal duty.
Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) units positioned in the Brazilian Pre-Salt offshore fields experience dynamic pitch, roll, and heave motions. Standard static liquid distributors fail under sea agitation, resulting in severe maldistribution, localized dry-out, and gas breakthrough in triethylene glycol (TEG) dehydration and amine scrubbing towers. We engineer compartmentalized multiphase distributors featuring baffle-partitioned channel layouts, drip tubes with secondary metering orifices, and calibrated vapor risers that guarantee uniform irrigation even at continuous angular tilts up to 5 degrees.
Processing units across Latin America frequently operate in high-salinity coastal areas, sour crude extraction zones, and aggressive acidic atmospheres. Standard commercial grade austenitic steels (AISI 304) face stress corrosion cracking (SCC) under these environments. Ambani Metals supplies column shells, packing grids, demisters, and support plates cold-formed from Super Duplex 2507, Hastelloy C-276, Monel 400, and stabilized 316L, fully compliant with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 standards for sour hydrocarbon service.

Procurement managers and process engineers across Brazilian industrial hubs are navigating shifting economic and regulatory mandates that dictate internal tower component selection.
Under the federal RenovaBio framework, Brazilian biofuel plants are incentivized through decarbonization credits (CBIOs) to slash steam consumption and lifecycle carbon intensity. Replacing legacy sieve trays in distillation and rectification columns with modern corrugation sheet structured packing lowers operational reboiler pressure drop, directly cutting industrial steam consumption by up to 18–25% per liter of hydrated ethanol produced.
Brazil’s state and private offshore operators continue deploying massive new-generation FPSO vessels in the Santos and Campos pre-salt fields. These production assets require compact, weight-optimized separation internals capable of processing sour associated gas with elevated CO2 concentrations (up to 40%). High-efficiency structured packing and specialized anti-foaming gas distributors allow engineering contractors to downsize overall column shell weights and vessel diameters by up to 30%.
To reduce heavy reliance on imported agricultural inputs, Brazilian agro-industrial complexes in Paraná, Minas Gerais, and Mato Grosso are constructing and expanding domestic ammonia, urea, and sulfuric acid synthesis facilities. These units require rugged absorption tower random packings and acid-resistant liquid distributors manufactured from titanium, Hastelloy, and premium virgin fluoropolymers to ensure uninterrupted multi-year campaigns.
Established in 1998, Ambani Metals combines full-cycle engineering, end-to-end metallurgical fabrication, and certified quality management to deliver mission-critical separation hardware globally.
All raw stainless steels and nickel alloys are procured from premier accredited primary mills. Complete chemical composition and mechanical test certificates accompany every production batch, ensuring absolute transparency against sour gas and high-pressure duties.
We operate high-tonnage progressive stamping, deep drawing, automated wire gauze weaving, laser cutting, and robotic welding lines within our own ISO-certified plants. Eliminating subcontracting gives us strict control over dimensional tolerances and delivery schedules.
Our mass transfer engineering group reviews process data sheets (PDS), column shell drawings, and vapor-liquid flow parameters before fabrication. We ensure manway-optimized sectional geometries for simple drop-in retrofits during scheduled refinery turnarounds.
All international consignments are secured in ISPM-15 compliant treated seaworthy timber packaging, moisture-barrier vapor wrapping, and color-coded component tagging for efficient clearance through Brazilian customs (Receita Federal).
