Industries & applications
Materials for new industrial challenges.
For carbon capture, geothermal, chemical and other specialist systems.
Application overview
Emerging industries
Carbon capture, geothermal and specialist process systems each place different demands on pipe materials. Applications range from amine heat exchangers and geothermal wells to chemical transport, mineralised water and instrument pipework.
Material selection
How the materials work
The base metal is chosen for strength and pressure. The alloy at the exposed surface is selected for the fluid and operating temperature.
