Reacting to Corrosion Problems, Chemical Manufacturer Shifts to Engineered Plastic Cooling Towers
HDPE provides reliable, long-lasting, and efficient process cooling.
Corrosion is always a top concern for any chemical processing facility, be it the metal alloys that come in direct contact with caustic chemicals or the components that make up the rest of the processing system. Everything must be relied upon to withstand the highly corrosive atmosphere that surrounds a chemical plant operation.
A key piece of these chemical manufacturing systems are the industrial cooling towers used as an efficient way to reduce the heat created during the chemical reaction process. The process water absorbs the heat, such as that from water-jacketed reaction vessels, and transfers it to the cooling tower. The tower is then able to exhaust the heat into the atmosphere and return the cooled water in an open loop back through the process.
