Zirconium is considered the most superior material of all and used in the most challenging applications in the UREA production processes due to its excellent corrosion resistance properties.
Badotherm has been supplying zirconium-based diaphragm seal systems to many customers and with huge success. No failures occur due to corrosion and material remains in perfect condition. Zirconium is also very sustainable, since the body material can be easily re-used and therewith the complete system can be refurbished.
With the industry aiming to increase the turnaround interval times, this material and these systems are perfectly suitable to long time usage. The user cases are incredibly successful.
The easiest execution is with blind flanged BRF seal with zirconium diaphragm sheet. However many designs are with an extended type seal, where the cover flange is of carbon or stainless steel, but the full body is zirconium, with NO welds in process, other then the diaphragm seal weld, which is of pure zirconium.
Often designs are as per licensor specifications such as CASALE, Snamprogetti by Saipem or Stamicarbon.
All designs are known by Badotherm and we can manufacture exactly as per these specifications.
