Tantalum is one of the most corrosion-resistant metals, but it is also very costly, making solid-tantalum heat exchangers extremely expensive. The heat exchangers of the manufacturer‘s tantalum range are stainless steel heat exchangers that have undergone a treatment where a thin layer of tantalum is metallurgically bonded to all surfaces exposed to corrosive media. The result is maximum corrosion resistance and mechanical stability at a low investment cost, making the technology affordable for a wide range of applications. The combined benefits of lower capital cost, long lifetime and minimal maintenance requirements results in significantly lower total cost of ownership compared to heat exchangers made of high-grade alloys, graphite, silicon carbide or glass.
