INTEGRAHEADER™ FOR CHLOR-ALKALI APPLICATIONS

Hot, wet chlorine gas at 200° F is arguably the most corrosive service utilizing Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic equipment.

When the first IntegraHeader system was installed on a diaphragm cell circuit in 1985, corrosion barriers were 0.250″ thick, half the current standard. Yet even that original IntegraHeader system lasted 13 years – almost double the service life of conventional “fabricated duct” headers.

The secret to longevity of the IntegraHeader lies in the design and manufacturing technology behind the Integra-Nozzle. Conventional headers fail prematurely at any of several “weak links” in the system, frequently at the connection point between the nozzle and the header. The Integra-Nozzle is unique because of its smooth, large-radius transition between the header duct and the nozzle branch. This design eliminates the need for vulnerable fabricated tee joints – traditionally subject to corrosive attack at cut edges below secondary bonded joints. In contrast, the Integra-Nozzle provides a “seamless” connection and an uninterrupted corrosion barrier, without putty-filled voids.
