columns

heat exchangers made of reactive metals.

CL-Chemical Equipment Division is a historical partner of the mineral chemicals sector.

Applications such as bromine, chorine, requiring the expertise of Carbone Lorraine are varied:

graphite or reactive metals heat exchanger for the phosphoric acid concentration

synthesis unit of hydrochloric acid through hydrogen and chlorine for which Carbone Lorraine is leader

For the fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals industries, the Chemical Equipment Division is providing

reactors made of CL-Clad® (tantalum, titanium, zirconium) or nickel

condensors with tubes, blocks or plates, made of :

graphite
reactive metals
CL-Clad®
PTFE

CL-Chemical Equipment Division is proposing turn-key solutions such as :

condensors

decantors

Finally, Carbone Lorraine, through its offer of plate exchangers and the expertise of Xianda, is in a position to offer a complete set of solutions adapted to fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals applications.

Steel, or rather the 3,000 types of steel existing on the market, is to be found in every application of modern life:

shipbuilding,

car making,

building and civil engineering,

and household goods.

CL-Chemical Equipment Division supports the organic chemicals sector

plastics such as PVC,

solvents,

"Nothing is created, nothing is lost, everything is transformed". This quotation by Lavoisier forms part of the current objectives of reducing energy consumption.

Carbone Lorraine Chemical Equipment Division is able to adapt its equipment to environmental problems, and is developing a comprehensive range of systems that respond to these expectations: the HCL synthesis unit with energy recovery is a case in question.

Other types of Carbone Lorraine equipment, like plate exchangers, are to be found in demanding energy and environmental sectors.

Carbone Lorraine Chemical Equipment Division, through its international notoriety, has penetrated markets other than chemicals.

Carbone Lorraine, for example, supplies PTFE reactors and piping to the bio fuels sector.

The Division remains a partner of sectors with very high quality requirements, aeronautics being one. Carbone Lorraine, via Astrolite in the United States, supplies welding wires in the material required by the client.
Its range is extensive and includes stainless steel, aluminium, nickel, alloys and titanium.

The Division, through Kapp, is also present in the food sector and supplies plate exchangers to sugar refineries and bio ethanol plants.
