Maintenance & Service for Specialty Non-Ferrous Plant Equipment

ATX provides maintenance and service support grounded in hands-on fabrication experience with specialty non-ferrous plant equipment,
focusing on realistic repair and long-term operational reliability.

Maintenance & Service for Specialty
Non-Ferrous Plant Equipment

Specialty non-ferrous plant equipment, including heat exchangers and pressure vessels, often operates under severe corrosive, thermal, and fouling conditions that can impact long-term performance. When degradation or failure occurs, effective maintenance and service capability—grounded in material behavior and fabrication expertise—is essential to restore operational reliability and extend equipment life. Leveraging hands-on experience with specialty non-ferrous metals, ATX provides practical maintenance and service solutions focused on realistic repair, restoration, and on-site support.

Why ATX Heat Exchangers

Proven delivery record in chemical and plant environments for over 35 years

We have a long-standing track record of supplying equipment to chemical plant environments where corrosion resistance and long-term operational stability are required, with numerous units delivered over extended periods.

Fabrication-focused in-house control and consistent execution system

Key fabrication processes such as forming, welding, and testing are performed in-house to minimize quality variations between processes and maintain consistent results.

Materials are directly sourced and managed, and the entire process—from fabrication and inspection to delivery—is carried out within a single, integrated workflow.

Experience in plant equipment certification and regulatory compliance

In addition to domestic statutory inspections, we have project experience meeting fabrication and quality management requirements in accordance with various international certification standards.
We provide non-destructive and quality inspection arrangements aligned with customer requirements, either under our own control or through third-party inspection agencies.

Materials We Work With

Titanium

A high corrosion-resistant material widely used in seawater, chlorine-based, and high-salinity environments.
 ATX has experience in processing various titanium grades and fabricating heat exchangers.

Tantalum (Solid / Lined Structure)

A specialty metal applied in strong acid and extreme chemical processes,

capable of withstanding 30% hydrochloric acid at 200°C and 95% sulfuric acid at 200°C.

Zirconium

A specialty metal that exhibits more stable corrosion behavior than titanium

under conditions where oxidizing media are present.
 It is applied in environments where material stability is critical, such as the nuclear field.

Nickel & Nickel Alloy

Materials that maintain mechanical stability even at high temperatures,
 showing excellent corrosion resistance in strong alkaline and certain reducing chemical environments.

Niobium

Applied to complement the durability of high corrosion-resistant structures
 due to its ability to form a stable oxide film even in high-temperature, highly corrosive environments.
