APEX
Umax Advanced
Ceramic
material combines one of the most
corrosion resistant materials with,
high thermal efficiency, and high
mechanical strength.
Umax
Advanced Ceramic
is a proven material technology that
has been around for over 15 years
and has been proven in a number of
highly corrosive applications
including, Bromine, HCL, HF,
Nitric, and many mixed acids.
Umax
Advanced Ceramic
has succeeded where other materials
would fail.
Umax
Advanced Ceramic
offers a number of design advantages
over other types of materials
including, Teflon® , Tantalum,
Glass, and Impervious Graphite.
There is no
heat transfer technology currently
being offered to the chemical
processing, pharmaceutical and steel
pickling industries that can match
the corrosion resistance, thermal
efficiency, and mechanical strength
of the
UMax Advanced Ceramic
heat
exchanger.
Hexoloy®
ceramic heat exchangers are
currently in service in bromine, HCL,
HF, nitric acid, and mixed acids;
applications where most other
materials would fail. And the design
features of the
UMax
unit offer advantages over
competitive Teflon®, tantalum,
glass, and impervious graphite
exchangers.
Apex applies
field proven designs and utilizes
superior components to integrate the
Advanced Ceramic tubing into the
UMax
AC
heat exchanger design.The Hexoloy
tubing is combined with proprietary
Teflon encapsulated, steel
reinforced tubesheets using a
proven, highly reliable o-ring
design. The Teflon tubesheet allows
optimum utilization of the corrosion
resistance properties of the Hexoloy
tubing.
Reactive metal units are often
constructed of very thin components
and subject to mechanical damage,
tube collapse and pin hole leaks
that cannot be repaired. Our design
and manufacturing procedures assure
superior performance, high operating
efficiency, and reduced maintenance.
