Chemical Applications

Providing an essential role in hydrocarbon processing applications from fired heaters to steam reformers, used in syngas production, to subsequent refining processes for the production of fertilisers for essential nutrients that feed our plants and crops to pharmaceutical equipment operating under cryogenic conditions. 

From providing the essential nutrients for the growth of our plants and crops to dermataological skin products to the whitening of our smile the fertilizer industry and associated key processes of UREA and ammonia production are an essential ingredient in today’s lives.  

Fertilizer production processes present environments with aggressive corrosion conditions, such as with Ammonium carbamate production at 180 ºC (356 ºF) to 250 ºC (482 ºF) and 150 bar (15 MPa). 

With associated processes such as nitric acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid and melamine production more sophisticated solutions to the use of conventional stainless grades such as 304L/316L are required.  

From condensers to cooling towers consideration must be given to the differing types of corrosion presented by the potentially aggressive chemical plant corrosive environments.

Serving Applications Such As:

Urea strippers

Carbamate condensers

Tubes: U bent or straight tubes up to 43 m (110 ft) long.

Bimetallic Tubes

Bimetallic tubes were developed as a solution to service some of the most aggressive environments associated with Urea strippers. 

Consisting of an external tube of DMV 25.22.2 and internal tube lining of Zirconium grade 702 we innovated our process technology to ensure the integral bonding during the cold working process.

Bimetallic pipes and process pipework in typical dimensions up to 31 mm (1.22”) OD.
