High-performance heat exchanger protection against corrosion and extreme temperatures
Corrosion and incrustation are constant threats to heat exchangers, impacting performance and increasing costs. SÄKAPHEN, in collaboration with its trusted applicator, recently completed a major project for two Chinese heat exchanger manufacturers. By applying high-performance cold-cured linings, the team ensured long-term protection, efficiency, and reliability for the end user,

Any company operating heat exchangers knows it: these systems run a high risk of corrosion and incrustation, which may cause a loss or drop in performance and lead to increased operating or investment costs. SÄKAPHEN and one of its trusted authorized applicators have recently completed another interesting project in this field, which proved once again that our cold-cured linings are among the best in class to safeguard thermal exchange equipment. This time, our coatings were required right across the world from our headquarters, as two Chinese heat exchanger manufacturers needed a high-performance product to be applied on their systems.
Project specifications End user: Samsung E & A for a Baltic chemical company HE manufacturers: Jiangsu JBPV Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd and Wuxi Chemical Equipment Co., Ltd Items to be coated: Respectively, 27 shell and tube heat exchangers and 5 sets of floating-head heat exchangers. Lengths ranging from approx. 12 to 9 m, diameters from approx. 1.5 to 1.75 m. These heat exchangers are critical components in the chemical processing industry, where maintaining efficiency and durability under extreme conditions is essential for smooth operations and cost control. Medium in contact: Cooling water of inconsistent quality at 60 ° C on the tube side and high-pressure steam on the shell side( temperature of condensation: approx. 200 ° C). The presence of variable water quality increases the www. heat-exchanger-world. com Heat Exchanger World April 2025
