What help does industrial titanium plate provide for alkali and salt processing plants?
The help of titanium plates for industrial development is becoming increasingly significant. Today, let's take a look at how titanium plates promote the development of alkali and salt processing plants: In the workshops of alkali and salt processing plants, such scenes are often seen: the carbon steel inner wall of the evaporation tank is covered with thick alkali scale, and after scraping it off, there are dense corrosion pits; the brine conveying pipeline will leak due to salt crystal scouring in less than half a year, and each maintenance requires stopping the entire production line. However, after using Industrial Titanium Plates for alkali and salt processing plants, these troubles have been greatly reduced — the GR2 titanium plate evaporation tank of a caustic soda plant in Hebei has been operating continuously for two years, and the inner wall has no corrosion marks except for a thin layer of salt frost, and cleaning it takes half the time compared to before.
In the caustic soda production process, the alkali resistance of industrial titanium plates is particularly prominent. A 32% caustic soda storage tank in a chlor-alkali plant was previously made of nickel steel, and the bottom of the tank had corrosion and leakage in less than a year. After replacing it with an 8-millimeter-thick GR2 industrial titanium plate, the thickness measurement data after three years showed that the thickness of the tank wall only decreased by 0.02 millimeters. The feed inlet on the top of the tank is a key part. The flange interface processed by cutting the titanium plate, combined with a fluororubber gasket, can be tightly sealed every time when loading and unloading materials, unlike before, where white frost would form at the interface due to alkali leakage.
The brine environment in salt processing workshops is also quite "destructive" to metals, especially high-temperature brine. Ordinary stainless steel pipes will soon be corroded and perforated. The brine conveying pipeline of a sea salt processing plant in Shandong is rolled with 6-millimeter-thick GR12 industrial titanium plates. The inner wall of the pipeline is smooth, so salt crystals are not easy to adhere to, and the titanium plate is resistant to scouring. Even when the brine flow rate reaches 2 meters per second, the pipeline shows no signs of wear after four years of use. The welder master said that when welding titanium plate pipelines, as long as the weld is protected with argon, the corrosion resistance of the weld is as good as that of the base metal, unlike stainless steel welds which are prone to corrosion points.
The adaptability of industrial titanium plates in equipment details is also crucial. The stirrer in the crystallizer of a Glauber's salt processing plant is made of 4-millimeter-thick GR2 titanium plates, which is 30% lighter than the stainless steel stirrer. It can be installed without removing the top cover of the crystallizer, and two people can lift it in through the manhole. Moreover, the surface of the titanium plate is not easy to scale, which can reduce resistance during stirring, and the motor energy consumption is 8% lower than before. After replacing the heat exchange tubes of the crystallizer with Titanium Tubes, the heat exchange efficiency is no longer affected by scaling as before, and the number of acid pickling and descaling processes can be reduced by two times a year.
