Steam is a primary energy carrier in the chemical and petrochemical industries, generated centrally and distributed via pipe bridges to the points of consumption. Ion exchangers protect boilers, pipelines and heat exchangers against scale formation and corrosion, which directly reduces unplanned shutdowns.
Process water must also meet defined specifications. XRESIN ion exchangers soften or fully demineralise process water and can be combined to economical effect, delivering the quality each process step requires reliably. Wastewater from chemical production receives thorough treatment before discharge, and selected grades also enable selective adsorption of carbon dioxide from flue gas or ambient air.
Basic chemicals such as sodium hydroxide, chlorine and hydrogen underpin the production of PVC, paper, cellulose, disinfectants and bleaching agents. Our ion exchange technology supports these chlor-alkali and downstream processes with stable, predictable performance.
