The outstanding performance of titanium alloy in seawater, chemical brines, brackish and polluted waters, due to its unique resistance to corrosion of chloride ion, has been established over many years in a wide range of operating conditions. Similarly well-known is the ability of the metal to survive in aggressive oil refinery environments.
Today titanium is frequently specified as the first choice for marine and offshore piping systems, heat exchangers, and a wide range of ancillary equipment for both water and product management in both critical and general applications.
