Titanium and Titanium Alloys Jacketed Insulated Pressure Vessels
Titanium jacketed insulated pressure vessels combine the exceptional corrosion resistance of titanium with integrated heating/cooling jackets and thermal insulation. These vessels are fabricated from commercially pure titanium or titanium alloys for applications requiring superior resistance to chlorides, oxidizing acids, and seawater service.
Why Choose Titanium and Titanium Alloys for Jacketed Insulated Pressure Vessels?
Titanium is essential for jacketed vessels handling chlorides, wet chlorine, hypochlorites, and oxidizing acids where other materials experience rapid corrosion. Its passive oxide film provides exceptional protection, and its lightweight nature (60% of steel density) reduces structural loads. Titanium jacketed vessels excel in the most demanding corrosive environments.
Titanium and Titanium Alloys Jacketed Insulated Pressure Vessel Applications
Common applications include:
- Chlor-alkali processing
- Bleach plant equipment
- Wet chlorine service
- Seawater-cooled systems
- Nitric acid processing
- Pharmaceutical oxidation processes

Titanium and Titanium Alloys Jacketed Insulated Pressure Vessel FAQs
What environments are best suited for titanium vessels?
Titanium excels in oxidizing environments including wet chlorine, chlorine dioxide, hypochlorite solutions, and nitric acid. It provides excellent seawater resistance and is ideal for chlor-alkali, pulp bleaching, and desalination applications. Titanium is not suitable for reducing acids without oxidizers or dry chlorine gas service.
Can both vessel and jacket be fabricated from titanium?
Typically, only the product-contact vessel is fabricated from titanium, with the jacket fabricated from stainless steel or carbon steel based on jacket media compatibility. This approach manages cost since the jacket usually contacts only steam or cooling water. Full titanium construction is available when required.
What are the fabrication requirements for titanium?
Titanium fabrication requires inert gas shielding (argon) during welding to prevent oxygen and nitrogen contamination. All tooling must be dedicated to titanium to prevent iron contamination. Special procedures prevent galling at mechanical joints. Our fabricators are experienced with titanium requirements.
