Tantalum Heat Exchanger Manufacturer

Mersen is recognized as a worldwide expert in the thermal and mechanical design of industrial heat exchangers.

Mersen’s experience in the design, forming and welding of Tantalum equipment, combined with an international material sourcing policy, allows Mersen to provide quality, cost-effective solutions that provide higher yields, lower maintenance costs and longer product lifetime.

Tantalum heat exchangers are mainly used in high-corrosive environments within the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Due to the unique chemical and physical properties of Tantalum, specific equipment and highly trained engineers are required. Mersen produces Tantalum heat exchangers in its dedicated workshop in Germany and in the US. Mersen Linsengericht, the home of Tantalum, is deemed to be the worldwide leader for the manufacture of Tantalum equipment. Mersen’s state-of-the-art tantalum solutions are highly corrosion-resistant and comparable to glass-lined equipment.
