  • Publication number: 20100092348
    Abstract: The vessel of the invention includes a side wall and an end wall, and is characterized in that the end wall is a domed end wall, of thickness EI including an inner layer CI providing corrosion resistance and an outer layer CE of thickness EE at least equal to the thickness EI of the inner layer CI. The inner and outer layers are rigidly joined by a first assembly device. Inner layer CI is formed from a multilayer material including an internal layer CI for providing corrosion resistance and an external layer CIS, the internal CIC and the external CIS layers being rigidly joined by a second assembly device. The invention enables inexpensive manufacture of large vessels.

  • Patent number: 6800150
    Abstract: The aim of the present invention is a manufacturing process for assembly parts (101, 102, 111, 112) for the manufacture of elements of chemical devices (100), comprising the fixation of an anticorrosion metallic coating (31, 32) on an unprocessed assembly part (21, 22), by means of an operation comprising a brazing operation under a controlled atmosphere and, possibly, the shaping of the coated part (101, 102), by plastic deformation. The brazing temperature is preferentially less than approximately 750° C., and more preferentially between 600° C. and 720° C. The process according to the invention makes it possible to fix solidly on a steel plate an anticorrosion coating with a thickness less than 1 mm.

  • Patent number: 5501582
    Abstract: A magnetically drive centrifugal pump comprises a fixed assembly formed by a pump barrel made of a carbonaceous material, rigid annular bearings and a non-magnetic, non-electrically conductive sealing shell, and a rotating assembly formed by an impeller made of a carbonaceous material, a cylindrical rotor made of a carbonaceous material and having sealed therein permanent tracking magnets. The rotor is fixed directly to the impeller to form an impeller-rotor assembly which rests on the annular bearings. The driver includes magnets which interact with the permanent tracking magnets of the rotor in order to drive the pump, the driver being isolated from the impeller-rotor assembly by the sealing shell. The impeller-rotor assembly includes a secondary circuit for circulation of transported fluid located between the impeller-rotor assembly and the sealing shell.
