Why are only the tubes in the tubular methanol reactor made of duplex steel?
Thread Content
RT, in a tubular methanol reactor, why is only the tubes made of duplex steel, with a duplex steel layer welded on the surface of the tube sheet, while the end caps on the tube side and other components are made of materials such as chromium-molybdenum steel? Anyone who knows the answer, please let me know. Thank you
Duplex steel is corrosion-resistant, highly ductile, and has high heat transfer efficiency, while molybdenum alloy steel can withstand high temperatures and pressures.

The tube bundle is severely deformed; since nothing good can be used, I might as well go home for the New Year right away
