eChemExpo 2026 – Shaping the Future of Processing and Manufacturing
We hope to see you at eChemExpo 2026, returning April 8–9 at the Meadowview Convention Center in Kingsport, Tennessee. This biannual event brings together engineers, plant leaders, and technology providers focused on solving real-world challenges in chemical processing and manufacturing. Our team will be available to discuss harsh and corrosive process streams, equipment reliability, and opportunities for optimizing your systems through advanced materials and thoughtful process system design.
The eChemExpo Solutions Marketplace & Technology Innovations Conference continues to grow, offering a unique mix of educational programming and a solutions-oriented expo floor. The two-day conference features PDH-accredited sessions focused on practical, plant-level innovation across the chemical and process industries.
Conference tracks for 2026 include topics such as:
Capital effectiveness and equipment selection
Operational excellence and process reliability
Industrial artificial intelligence in plant operations
Workforce development and technical training
Environmental health, safety, and compliance
Instrumentation for corrosive or complex process streams
Turnaround optimization and plant performance
Novel equipment design and CFD-driven engineering
By aligning conference content with real purchasing needs and operational challenges, eChemExpo provides a valuable forum where plant engineers, technology suppliers, and decision-makers can collaborate and explore practical solutions.

Innovative Materials and Solutions for Harsh & Corrosive Process Streams
At CG Thermal we are decidedly customer-focused, and approach each new project with a desire to achieve our customer’s goals and process requirements in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. We have particular expertise in corrosive and high temperature process streams, and provide a range of services from individual equipment to full turnkey systems to engineering design and plant layout consulting.
Let’s discuss your harsh and corrosive process stream today!
Impervite® Advanced Graphite: Award-Winning Innovation
The Impervite® Advanced Graphite Heat Exchanger design incorporates proven tube to tubesheet seal and the field-repairability of our Umax SiC Ceramic Heat Exchanger with the quality that the industry has long associated with Impervite®. Additionally, the Impervite® Advanced Graphite tubes can be used in conjunction with our United States Patented XD tubesheet, capable of pressures up to 150 psig at 400F.
Recently, the Impervite Advanced Graphite design received the prestigious 2023 VAALER Award for Innovation in the Chemical Industry. Click here to learn more about Impervite Advanced Graphite and the award.
Process System Design
We combine our extensive heat/mass transfer knowledge and fabrication capabilities with design and process expertise. The result is optimal, proven processing technology while incurring the lowest possible capital and operating expenses (CAPEX/OPEX) for the customer. Ultimately, team understands that the engineering specifications for industrial process equipment are as different as the customers themselves. We are dedicated to working within your framework to provide the custom services that your job requires. To that end, we offer four options to address these needs:
Turnkey Packaged System — Custom designed skid package system may include instrumentation, PLC, HMI, piping, electric and platforms, ladders, and other safety features per job requirements- Consulting Services — Trouble-shooting, optimizing, and evaluating of existing plant operations
- Engineering Design Package — Complete engineering and operations design and documentation including Haz-Op review on customer site, and controls and control instrument loops
- Major Equipment Package — Exchangers, vessels, pumps, filters, controls, drums, tanks, etc.
