Happy New Year from Our Family to Yours!

No doubt 2020 left us all ready for a fresh start and new year. Our goal for 2021 is simple: to serve our clients even better with new service programs, and to get our partners the very best in equipment - whether that is a new reactor, repairs needed or on-site training.

If you are thinking of buying a reactor in 2021, we would appreciate the opportunity to provide you with a competitive quotation as well as to discuss ways we can best serve your parts and service requirements. 
 
In this edition, we'll discuss Instruments to Gauge the Quality of Glass Lining in Reactors, and highlight tantalum repairs. 
 
 Thank you for your trust and allowing us to provide the tools, services, products, and training to save your company money and increase production. 

We'd appreciate the opportunity to serve you as the leading expert in the Glasslined Industries. If we can ever assist you, please let us know!

Stay Safe,
James Lakeman & The Glasslined Technologies Team
Tantalum Repair Services
Tantalum repairs are considered temporary. Repairs to glasslined equipment must be inspected periodically. Often repairs can provide years of service during normal use. Check existing patches and plugs regularly. Items to look for include:

  • Examine existing repairs for wear or failure. Has the tantalum become embrittled?
  • Check the sealing edge with a .002" shim stack
  • Look for rust stains
  • Check the nut for a leak path
  • Check the teflon for discoloration and cracks
