Stainless steel accompanies green hydrogen

/in /by

The components used for the transport or storage of green hydrogen require hydrogen-resistant properties to ensure the safety of this critical infrastructure. Hydrogen atoms can diffuse into metallic materials and lead to material failure due to hydrogen embrittlement. Stainless steels of grades 1.4435, 1.4404 and 1.4307 are used as standard for components that come into contact with hydrogen. For particularly critical applications with extreme corrosion resistance requirements, for example in aggressive chemical environments, stainless steels such as 1.4439, 1.4462 (duplex) and 1.4410 (super duplex) have proven their worth due to their higher strength and improved resistance. By selecting the right material, it is possible to ensure that the integrity and safety of components in hydrogen-ducting systems is maintained over long periods of time.

We at Sommer & Strassburger GmbH have been building buffer tanks for hydrogen since 2004 and look forward to supporting you with our many years of expertise.

Membrane housings since 34 years

/in /by

As part of our anniversary challenge, we received an inspiring response from Eugen Reinhardt, Dauborn GmbH from Ratzeburg:

 

“From 1989 to 1991, I built up the membrane department at Tuchenhagen, Büchen. At that time, the application “dealcoholisation of beer” using reverse osmosis was very topical. […] The concept presented by Mr Kluge and Mr Hilpp from Sommer and Strassburger for the hygienic pressure pipe was very convincing. After receiving the offer, we immediately placed an order. It was the number one hygienic pressure pipe for reverse osmosis applications.”

 

 

We would like to thank you for this feedback and look forward to other contributions from our 50-year history.

 

We still produce hygienic membrane housings – we would be pleased to receive your detailed enquiry via our enquiry form:

Hygienic Design – Drainability and riboflavin test of vessels and filter housings

/in , /by

In very hygiene-critical applications such as in the healthcare or food & beverage industry, drainability is of great importance.(gravity drainage). We are happy to support you with a suitable design, for example with special fittings, surfaces with a slope and a roughness of up to Ra ≤ 0.38 µm. We will discuss your test protocol for the drainability of the housing or vessel at the start of your project and consider the current ASME BPE guidelines. We can document the drainability for your end customer with a video we create.

All surfaces that come into contact with the product must either be easily accessible for manual cleaning or it must be demonstrated that automated cleaning in place (clean-in-place CIP) produces compliant results. So-called dead spaces, i.e. areas that are not wetted by the cleaning medium (spray shadows), are particularly feared. CIP lances are often used in containers and filter housings. We are happy to offer you CIP lances with customised spray balls adapted to your application.

To verify the wettability of surfaces in contact with the product, we offer you the so-called riboflavin test. In this test, riboflavin (a fluorescent vitamin) is applied to the product-wetted area, after which a CIP rinse (modelled on reality) is carried out. An UV lamp is then used to check whether fluorescent riboflavin is still present on the surfaces in the filter housing/ vessel. Your advantage with Sommer & Strassburger is our decades of experience in the design, manufacture and documentation of pharmaceutical filter housings and vessels!

 

Contact us, we can also make your system completely drainable!
