For more than 70 years, Armstrong Chemtec has designed and supplied Chlorine and other process fluid vaporizers to chemical industries worldwide with the safest, most reliable vaporizers available. Among the most sought after are our vertical bayonet vaporizers, ideal for lethal service where safety is of utmost importance. Armstrong Chemtec bayonet vaporizers for duties from 50 kg /hr to 16,000 kg/hr may be heated by steam, hot water, heat transfer fluids or indirectly by electric heating of oil or water. Whichever heating medium you choose, safety is key in the design, construction, installation, and operation of your vaporizer equipment. This has contributed to our longstanding adoption by both the chlorine chemical processing and refinery industries. We believe our integrity is underpinned as we are the only chlorine vaporizer manufacturer with membership in both The US Chlorine Institute and Brussels-based Euro Chlor.
We have designed and supplied over 3,500 Armstrong vertical bayonet vaporizers for applications with a wide range of process fluids. Over 2,000 vaporizers have been supplied for chlorine services alone. But that’s not the only fluid we help process.
These are some of the most common:
- Chlorine
- C3-C6 Hydrocarbons
- Ammonia
- Phosgene
- Carbon Dioxide
- Di/Tri-chlorosilane
- Sulfur Dioxide
- Sulfur Trioxide
BAYONET VAPORIZERS
Dependable and custom-tailored, our vaporizers may be fabricated in carbon steel, nickel alloys, and stainless steel or a combination thereof where the heat transfer surfaces are alloyed steels. The vertical design offers multiple advantages over typical shell and tube HEXs.
Armstrong Chemtec vaporizer features include:
- Freeze protection: incoming steam or heating fluids continuously heat the outgoing condensation
- Superheat: upon request, we can add integral superheat capabilities
- Small footprint: a vertical system takes up substantially less plot space when compared to horizontal options
- Immediate turndown response and operation: our Vaporizers can comfortably operate at turndown rates approaching 90%
- Holdup volumes: these vaporizers retain a minimal amount of process liquid inventory, unlike alternative designs
- Removable bundle: maintenance, inspections, and replacements when needed are easy
If you think a vertical bayonet vaporizer is a good solution for your chlorine processing or chemical plant, just reach out and we’d be happy to discuss your options.
