Cometec - Tantalum Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers
Cometec specializes in the manufacture of Tantalum Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers, which are specifically engineered for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. These exchangers are capable of withstanding high temperatures and pressures, allowing for customizations to meet specific pressure requirements. The design features different configurations including options for stainless steel or steel shells, glass-enamelled covers, and PTFE/PFA lining, with the inclusion of tantalum-clad steel. Full tantalum tubes form the tube bundle, ensuring robustness for demanding chemical processes like HCl stripping, chloromethane processing, and acid recovery. Providing ease of maintenance, configurations include lip welds and flush mount designs to prevent liquid buildup and ease cleaning. Cometec products undergo thorough inspection and testing, integrating considerations for material expansion with the potential addition of expansion joints. As a company with over 30 years of experience, Cometec is a leader in providing high-quality tantalum and niobium equipment.
Cometec manufactures heat exchangers that have been specifically developed for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Built to endure high temperatures and pressures, our heat exchangers are customized to meet your exact pressure specifications. We ensure dependable performance and safety by precisely adjusting the tube wall thickness and tube sheets to your needs.
Our equipment is designed for demanding chemical processes such as chloromethane, HCl stripping, and acid recovery, and is known for its ease of maintenance. Our heat exchangers are available in various configurations, including stainless steel or steel shells, glass-enamelled steel covers, PTFE/PFA lining, or tantalum-clad steel (loose or vacuum-resistant). The tube bundle consists of full tantalum tubes. The tube sheets can be designed with lip welds or in a “flush mount” design to prevent liquid buildup and facilitate cleaning your heat exchanger.
As part of our design and calculation, we check whether an expansion joint is required to absorb material expansion. Like all our equipment, our heat exchangers undergo a thorough final inspection and testing to ensure quality and performance.
With over 30 years of experience in processing tantalum and niobium, Cometec adheres to the highest quality and safety standards. As one of the world’s largest manufacturers of tantalum and niobium equipment, we provide both new units and repair services – ensuring longevity and performance.
