Sandvik Materials Technology has secured the first “waste to energy order” for its unique Sanicro® 35 grade. The facility will use Sanicro® 35 in the process to convert and upgrade biogas, or landfill gas, into renewable natural gas, and thereby help reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change.
Sanicro® 35 will replace failed heat exchanger tubes made from 316L stainless steel in a renewable natural gas plant in Texas. The facility converts and upgrades biogas, or landfill gas, into renewable natural gas which can be used as a substitute for natural gas in a range of applications including fuel. For instance, compressed natural gas, electricity generation, thermal energy, or as a feedstock for chemical industries.
Sanicro® 35 offers exceptionally high performance, strength, and corrosion resistance at a wide range of temperatures. It is designed for extremely corrosive environments and ideal for use in heat exchangers, Sanicro® 35 was recommended by Sandvik Materials Technology because of its ability to increase heat exchanger lifetime while reducing repair costs and maintenance.
Sanicro® 35 is available globally to support heat exchanger tubing needs.
