Join CG Thermal at SOCMA 2026 in Nashville, TN
CG Thermal is heading back to Nashville for the SOCMA 2026 Specialty & Custom Chemicals Show, taking place March 4–6, 2026. You can find our team at Booth 1026, where we’ll be available throughout the show to connect with specialty chemical producers and discuss solutions for harsh, corrosive, and high-temperature process streams.
SOCMA remains one of the most valuable events on our calendar, bringing together engineers, operators, and decision-makers who are actively solving real process challenges. Whether you’re early in the design phase or addressing issues in an existing system, we look forward to practical, application-focused conversations.
What we’ll be discussing at Booth 1026
During SOCMA 2026, our team will be available to talk through:
Heat exchanger solutions for aggressive chemical services
Process system design considerations for corrosive environments
Material selection and lifecycle performance
Strategies to improve reliability, serviceability, and uptime
Our goal is to provide insight grounded in field experience — not just catalog specifications.
SOCMA showcase presentation
Be sure to attend our SOCMA showcase presentation at Belle Meade I on Wednesday at 8:40 AM, where we’ll share practical perspectives on process system design and equipment considerations for demanding chemical applications.
Limited-edition giveaway (back by popular demand)
As in past years, we’ll be offering a limited-edition giveaway at our booth — a laser-etched, guitar-shaped multi-tool, inspired by Music City and available while supplies last.
Why SOCMA continues to matter
As SOCMA puts it:
“Don’t miss the chance to participate in the SOCMA Show in the heart of Music City! This is the ultimate event for the specialty chemicals industry, where you can network with leading suppliers, buyers, and experts. Whether you are looking for new opportunities, insights, or solutions, you will find them at SOCMA’s trade show in Nashville, TN.”
We couldn’t agree more — and we’re excited to once again be part of the conversation.

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!
Heat Exchangers: Umax & Impervite® Advanced Graphite
Heat exchangers are a critical component in chemical and metal processing systems. Additionally, if not properly engineered, the heat exchanger could fail, mechanically or thermally, causing the loss of critical production. CG Thermal offers industry-leading technology and world-class heat exchangers that outperform the competition. Our Umax SiC Advanced Ceramic heat exchanger is superior in highly corrosive environments and boasts a lifetime warranty against corrosion. The Impervite® Advanced Graphite Heat Exchanger design incorporates proven tube to tubesheet seal and the field reparability of our Umax SiC Ceramic Heat Exchanger with the quality that the industry has long associated with Impervite®.
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.
