High corrosion-resistant vacuum systems for chemical industries
In chemical processing, the presence of corrosive gases and vapors, particularly halogen compounds, can deteriorate conventional materials. High-performance vacuum systems must meet stringent requirements for chemical and wear resistance to ensure safety and plant efficiency.
Ensure plant safety with superior chemical resistance
The high corrosion-resistant vacuum systems from GEA are designed to handle the most demanding environments in the chemical industry. Utilizing multi-stage steam jet vacuum pumps made of graphite, these systems effectively manage the extraction of corrosive gases and vapors where stainless steel fails. Graphite’s excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to temperature changes make it an ideal material. Each system is customized to meet process-specific conditions, optimizing performance and minimizing steam consumption. They include surface condensers and different types of heat exchangers, such as block, shell-and-tube, and plate heat exchangers, all contributing to efficient condensation under vacuum. The compact design allows for easy installation and maintenance.
