Case Study on Failures of Duplex Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger
Duplex stainless steel (DSS) is widely used in the chemical and hydrocarbon industry where the corrosive nature of service demands high corrosion resistance. Despite its high corrosion resistance, DSS are challenged by the service as well as operating conditions.
The Value of a Growth Mindset: An Interview with Chris Cary
Young engineers setting out on their careers would do well to take a leaf from Cary’s book: be curious, find lasting solutions, and discover where your true passion lies.
Parallel Pin Expansion May Reduce Corrosion Risk
Material selection is a critical factor for heat exchangers working in corrosive applications, but tube expansion methods may also play a role in tube life.
BECCS: A Critical Tool for Greenhouse Gas Reduction
Bioenergy with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) will be one of the largest consumers of stainless steel over the next 30 years. BECCS is carbon negative and much more economical than direct separation, which is the only other carbon negative alternative.
Stainless Steel Pipes and Tubes: Back to Basics
Proper material selection is essential before any project begins. While both stainless steel pipes and tubes are critical to many projects, their purposes are quite effective but different.
