Project Background Since the 1970s, Teckomatorp, Sweden has been plagued with environmental pollution. BT Kemi, a company that produced pesticides, had buried barrels containing toxic chemicals in the ground, resulting in nearby residents falling ill. Initial cleanup...
Graphite Impregnation: How it all started In the late 1800s, Edward Acheson accidentally manufactured synthetic graphite while trying to create synthetic diamonds. He found that at ambient pressure, amorphous carbon converts to crystalline graphite at 2300-3000°C....
Is it more cost-effective to replace or refurbish a graphite heat exchanger? Regular maintenance and inspection by a CG Thermal field technician will ensure your process stream experiences as little downtime as possible. During a service visit, the heat exchanger is...
There are three different types of impervious graphite tubes currently used in the chemical process equipment industry; Resin bonded, carbon bonded graphite, and fully graphitized. Each type has specific characteristics and cost implications that should be taken into...
