Applications of clad Sheets in the Chemical and Petrochemical Industries

Chemical and petrochemical industries involve complex processes where equipment is constantly exposed to corrosive chemicals, high pressures, and extreme temperatures. Using clad plates that combine resistant metals like stainless steel, Monel, Inconel, and titanium with structural metals such as carbon steel not only enhances equipment corrosion resistance but also provides an economically optimal solution to extend service life and reduce maintenance costs.

Key Applications in Chemical and Petrochemical Industries:

Heat Exchangers

Clad plates are used in heat exchanger construction where constant contact with hot, corrosive fluids can cause severe corrosion and reduced equipment lifespan. These plates improve heat transfer, reduce repair costs, and extend heat exchanger service life in refineries and chemical plants.

Reactors and Distillation Columns

In petrochemical industries, reactors and distillation columns operate under extreme conditions including high temperatures and aggressive chemical compounds. Clad plates with corrosion-resistant layers (nickel, titanium, or stainless steel) enhance equipment durability and reduce chemical leakage risks.

Chemical Storage Tanks

Chemical storage tanks must withstand acids, strong solvents, and corrosive materials. Clad plates, combining resistant layers with strong base metals, are ideal for constructing these tanks, improving safety, reducing maintenance costs, and extending equipment life.

Piping Systems and Fittings

Clad plates are widely used in pipelines and fittings for transporting chemicals and corrosive gases. They offer excellent resistance to both internal and external corrosion, increasing efficiency while reducing maintenance costs in chemical and petrochemical piping systems.
