Chlor-alkali plants are required to manage some of the most corrosive environments imaginable, transporting harsh chemicals at extreme temperatures. Combine this with regular use of high-voltage electrolysis processes, and you have attributes that can rapidly compromise the integrity of most piping systems.

The durable, high-performance CPVC used in Corzan® Industrial Systems offer distinct advantages to Chlor-alkali processing operations:

• Superior chemical resistance to a broad range of substances
• Low calcium and magnesium content, suitable for high-purity brine
• Improved safety with low thermal conductivity in comparison to metallic materials
• Quick, simple and reliable fabrication and installation
• Lower total lifecycle costs - Clients experience minimal installation and maintenance charges and a longer system service life in comparison to systems relying on other materials.

Corzan® CPVC as a liner material will provide further chemical resistance for dual laminate applications. When used in combination with Fiber Reinforced Polyester (FRP), the Corzan®-lined pipe can consistently function in temperatures as high as 104 °C (220 ºF).

Corzan® CPVC is the technical solution to move away from costly investment in new alloys, or in managing the inevitable and ongoing maintenance challenges and premature system failures.

Corzan^® CPVC vs Other Materials

When compared to common piping materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, other expensive alloy piping and glass-lined or PTFE-lined products, Corzan CPVC piping solutions can ensure consistent performance and reliability with more than 50 years of proven field performance.

Corzan® Industrial Systems can ensure the purity and concentration of the various compounds required in an electrolysis chamber. Other piping materials may be vulnerable to contamination via leaching that can interfere with the oxidation/reduction (REDOX) processes. Corzan® defends against contaminants such as: 

• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Silicon
• Nickel
• Lead
• Tin
