Companies spend a significant amount of time and energy selecting the best type of pipe material for the application, calculating size and lengths needed, and following and implementing standard instructions for proper pipe installation. 

Fuseal is offered in sizes from 1.5 to 18" for both pipe and fittings. Its chemical and physical properties make the polypropylene piping system suited for handling corrosive waste streams in applications such as dairy, food processing, beverage, chemical and industrial plants. 

A corrosion-resistant pneumatic diaphragm valve is suited for highly corrosive dosing applications and open/close applications.

As boilers age, they become less efficient, thereby increasing operational costs. Replacing the boiler is the obvious choice; however, it may not be necessary. If the boiler pressure vessel is in good shape, upgrading the burner and controls while adding heat recovery can not only restore a boiler to its original efficiency but probably improve it.

Boiler Lizard contains vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor powder in a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) water-soluble bag. The corrosion inhibitor powder is free of phosphates, heavy metals, nitrites and free amines.

The provisions made for thermal expansion and draining of the thermal oil are key factors to consider for the successful installation of any thermal oil heating system. Important system design principles like this often are overlooked; instead, the focus is placed on specific components like pumps, valves or the heater itself.

What is critical to operators of thermal plants? Of primary importance is the delivery of process steam and electric power within the established environmental limits for the site. 

Developed to help optimize ways to use FRP composites in corrosion-resistant applications, the Ashland Corrosion Science Center (ACSC) in Dublin, Ohio, supports corrosion applications based on fiber reinforced polymers (FRP).

High temperature process heat is a fundamental tool in Industrial America’s toolbox. While some operations are accomplished in a static air environment, many high temperature operations — heat treating and stress relieving, for instance — require convection to achieve the necessary results.
