Industrial Coating Challenges

Heat Exchanger Corrosion

Process fluids containing sulfur, chlorides, and oxidizing species attack tube and shell materials at operating temperature, causing premature failure and unplanned downtime.

Furnace Component Failure

Radiant tubes, rollers, and hearth components fail prematurely under high-temperature oxidation and thermal cycling. Replacement costs and downtime are disproportionate to component cost.

Downtime Economics

Unplanned maintenance and component replacement carry disproportionate production and cost impact. Extending component life by 2–4× dramatically improves plant economics.

Energy Efficiency

Corroded and fouled surfaces reduce heat transfer efficiency, increasing fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. Clean, protected surfaces maintain design heat transfer coefficients.

Multi-Mode Corrosion Resistance

DRS RHEA coatings are engineered to resist the full spectrum of industrial corrosion modes — not just one. A single coating system protects against:

Oxidation
Air, steam, and combustion environments up to 900°C
Sulfidation
H₂S and sulfur-bearing process streams
Hot Corrosion
Salt-induced and combustion deposit attack
Aqueous Corrosion
Condensate, acid dew point environments
Erosion-Corrosion
Combined particle and chemical attack
