Water, Seawater, Desalination & Marine - Desalination

Materials used in desalination must resist environments that include brackish water or seawater, potable water and brine discharge. The ATI Allegheny Ludlum products most commonly used in desalination are 316L, ATI 2205™ duplex, AL-6XN®, ATI 4565™, and AL 29-4C®. In seawater reverse osmosis plants and portable units, materials such as AL-6XN® stainless steel have been used for pipes, connectors, valves, nozzles, and fittings. For multi-stage flash plants and multi-effect distillation plants, superferritic and duplex stainless steels have found use in heat recovery shells, support plates, heat exchanger tube bundles and plates, steam ejectors and ejector tubing, and de-mister supports. AL 29-4C®, and ATI 4565™ alloys are cost-effective alternatives to titanium in MSF condensers. ATI 2003® lean duplex alloy should be considered for use in several of these applications as a cost-effective replacement for Type 316L stainless steel or ATI 2205™ duplex stainless steel.
