Features
Speciality Metal
(Inconel)
When generating supercritical water, standard 300 series stainless steel tends to oxidize and corrode under these conditions. By replacing the material of construction with a high nickel content steel such as Inconel, this corrosion can be avoided.
The system uses an Inconel extraction vessel, heat exchangers and high-pressure pipework where ever supercritical water is generated. This limits potential corrosion which otherwise would pose safety risk and reduce the life of the system
High Temperature
(up to 400°C)

Safety
(Pressure and Temperature)
Along with the necessary pressure safety devices on the pump and extraction vessel which protect the system from over pressurizing, the high temperature process lines and the extraction vessel are shielded to prevent the user from hazardous burns.
The extraction vessel is contained within a well insulated furnace with both the inlet and outlet pipework either shielded using u-shaped covers or covered high temperature lagging.
High Pressure
(500 bar)
This system has a design rating up to 550 bar and an operating pressure of 500 bar. This wide range of pressures allow for an array of processing conditions making this system ideal for a number of applications, including sub-critical water extraction or supercritical water oxidation.
