6% Molybdenum Alloy in a High Purity Application
A globalbiotechnologycompany, was experiencing failures with 316L and 1.4435 stainless steel when subjected to their aggressive buffer concentrates. In working with Central States Industrial (CSI) and our third party consultants, they were able to create a specification and test procedures to qualify a different, more resistant, metal alloy. CSI then developed the processes needed to deliver this alloy in the chemical composition, metallurgical structure, and surface finish required.
The result was a commercially available alloy that the biotech could economically source for their process piping that would remain at a consistent hygienic level through years of use.
CSI.worked closely with the biotech company, architect, and engineers on the detail design of severalmixproof valvemanifolds,transfer panels， 和utility panels。CSI.also supported the valve suppliers with raw material and material joining guidance. Once the design was agreed to, the project was released to CSI'sfabrication department。过程管道承包商也使用了CSItube和fittingsneeded for the process equipment's interconnecting piping.
Clear and concise communication with all parties involved (owner, A&E, CM, vendors, and mechanical contractor) enabled the successful project execution of a system the owner can rely on for years to come.
