Express delivery program
Published: 30 June, 2015
Late in 2014 the technicians of an Egyptian Propane Dehydrogenation plant had to face the truth - several heat exchangers had failed unexpectedly and caused a production shut-down.
Fast action was needed. In close cooperation SANDVIK and the licensor developed a solution. The result - within just ten weeks, Sandvik had delivered 12 tons of super-duplex tubes (Sandvik SAF 2507) and proved the effectiveness of its express delivery program for duplex steels.
Besides major precautions when operating a plant unexpected material failures cannot be ruled out completely. In the case of the Egyptian plant, Sandvik says it was able to make a difference because of its extensive expertise in producing and testing seamless stainless steel tubes, its high delivery flexibility and its long-term and trusting relationship with the licensor.

A Caribbean producer of furfural, an organic compound derived from agricultural byproducts, reports it has replaced the existing tube in its heat exchangers with hyper-duplex stainless steel by SANDVIK MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY, and as a result says its tube lifecycles have extended from two to 15 years, with a profound impact on material costs.
