We're in a situation with our induction furnaces. We heat treat up to 2400C. Our susceptors are graphite but we require an exhaust tube that's exposed to plant atmosphere for about 8" above the top furnace coil. Since graphite will oxidize at that temp we use a Copper tube that is cooled by a...
I'm proposing a change in our emissions licensing. We have changed product in a drying oven and there are much less effluents being run through its incinerator. I would like to have the incinerator removed but don't know if there is a specific factor of a safety that the local and state...
metengr, there is about 150 ft of tubing from the compressor to the vessel but it is unlikely that it is picking up moisture. An adjacent 15 KSI vessel uses the same compressor and doesn't display the same behavior. I think the next step is to look into electrical interference between the...
I've got an issue with a HIP vessel here. Its max operation limits are 5KSI and 600C. It's comprised of the vessel with an internal furnace. Gas enters the bottom of the vessel, seeps into the furnace, then exits the bottom of the furnace. We can pressurize just fine and heat without...
