Commercial Acceptance and Applications of Masonry and Membrane Systems for the Process Industries

摘要

The use of ceramic and membrane materials is a well-established engineering approach to corrosion control, with over 100 years of commercial history. The concepts of a composite, corrosion proof, ceramic lining system are reviewed to allow the mechanics of a proper design to be understood. The primary function of each of the composite parts is reviewed in relation to properties of the composite vessel or lining system. A review of design factors to be considered when choosing applications for ceramic and membrane lined process vessels is presented. Past and recent commercial applications of composite ceramic lining systems are presented to illustrate life cycle reliability. The economics of ceramic and membrane lining systems are briefly discussed.
