HCl burner and HCl absorption
with steam generation
Since 1960, Mersen has strengthened its Process
Technologies know-how, especially related to
the use of HCl. The first skid-mounted turn-key
solution was delivered 30 years ago in 1986.
You can rely on our extensive experience for
design and manufacture of corrosion resistant
process equipment and ancillaries. The homemade produced and impregnated isostatic
graphite Graphilor together with the in-house
silicon carbide Boostec materials are really
key components to ensure the best corrosion
resistance.
