Experience in using titanium plate heat exchangers
Thread Content
Our company plans to use seawater to cool the amine-poor liquid used in the treatment of sulfur recovery exhaust gases, in order to meet **the new environmental emission standards. The current concern is that seawater leakage could contaminate the amine solution; the design team has chosen titanium-based heat exchangers. I wonder if any of you who work in the marine industry have similar experience – are titanium-based heat exchangers reliable?
If the product quality is satisfactory, titanium substrate heat exchangers are a good choice for this application, as they are resistant to seawater corrosion； If concerns persist, a double-wall plate heat exchanger can be used; in the event of a leak, the fluid will flow out through the channels between the two plates and into the outside environment, making it easy to detect the issue and take action. This prevents the fluids from mixing during the heat exchange process, which could otherwise lead to contamination or harmful reactions
