Application of nickel alloys in Petro Processing
2024-06-26
The principle of crude oil refining is to distill crude oil according to the different boiling points of different components in the crude oil. Different substances (such as gasoline and diesel) can be distilled at different temperatures. The distillation temperature can reach up to 800 degrees Celsius, and the composition of crude oil is very complex. Therefore, the distillation vessel must be resistant to high temperatures and resistant to various forms of corrosion.

Alloys from the Incoloy and Inconel series have many applications within the petrochemical process industry, due to their outstanding high temperature corrosion resistance.
Petrochemical products have created a demand for materials that resist the synthesis in Fischer-Tropsch reactors and associated equipment, so Incoloy and Inconel alloys are predominant in technologies that capture and convert coal, gas and biomass into fuel.
