Graphite, silicon carbide (SiC), titanium and zirconium heat exchangers for aggressive chemical processes: block and tube types, used as condensers, heaters, coolers and evaporators.

Corrosion-Resistant Heat Exchangers

Corrosion-Resistant Heat Exchangers

For decades, Mersen has designed and manufactured a comprehensive portfolio of heat exchangers using various technologies (blocks, tubes) and materials (graphite, SiC, zirconium, titanium). They are installed as condensers, heaters, coolers and evaporators in corrosive chemical processes.

Thermal and mechanical design: thermal calculations with ASPEN B-JAC, X-Designer and customized programs; more than 450 mechanical designs a year. Calculations to pressure vessel codes (ASME, EN 13445, CODAP, AD 2000 Merkblatt) and ANSYS finite element analysis.

Service: maintenance and spare parts throughout the life cycle, repair and refurbishment, emergency assistance and start-up, process line check-up and diagnosis — at Mersen sites or on the customer's site.
