We continue to investigate other
coatings specifically designed to
reduce coking. The figures on the
opposite page demonstrate the
amount of coking occurring on various
substrates. Silcosteel
®
-AC-treated
304 stainless steel shows dramatic reduction in coking vs.
non-treated 304 stainless steel, and the table compares the
performance of Silcosteel
®
-AC, Silcosteel
®
, and Sulfinert
®
to
prototype treatments.
Silcosteel®-AC treatment
eliminates the need for
“burning out” hydrocarbon
processing equipment.
