This TEMA BEM exchanger is built with SB338 Grade 2 titanium tubing, a material choice that pays off in chloride-bearing and hydrogen service where stainless steels are prone to pitting and cracking. Titanium's corrosion resistance means fewer tube failures, less downtime and a longer service life between turnarounds. The unit is fabricated under ASME U Stamp with PED and CE certification, and each titanium tube is backed by material certificates and documented test results. We match your existing nozzle and foundation layout for drop-in replacement, and provide technical support through installation and commissioning.
