Companies in the steel industry recognize that with the thin margins the market will allow, they must stay up and running with no downtime if they hope to make a profit. Traditionally, a steel pickling line has been a high maintenance area because of the huge corrosion issues.
TITAN took on this challenge over 15 years ago. Keeping a steel pickle bath hot with no downtime calls for Tantalum Heat Exchangers. We are pleased to now be the standard of the industry with every major North American steel mill specifying TITAN Tantalum Heat Exchangers.
We have successfully solved the problems of plugging, fouling, corrosion and downtime. TITAN’s products are all custom engineered and fabricated to specific applications.
We can provide you with a long list of references with whom you can discuss the performance of TITAN’s Steel Pickling Heat Exchangers and equipment. Give us a call for our list, or even if you just have a few questions. We’re happy to help.
