Descriptions
Avantium is active in the commercialization of PEF, for which Coek has fabricated several solid titanium vessels as well as Titanium clad vessels.

PEF products
PEF production requires highly corrosion-resistant and mechanically robust equipment to handle furan-based intermediates and solvents. We design reactors, columns and heat exchangers using tailored alloys to support safe and sustainable bio-based polymerisation processes.
Pressure vessels
Solid Titanium vessels with pillow plate jacket design in stainless steel
— TitaniumDue to high cyclic loads, it was decided to design and fabricate the equipment under cyclic loads in solid titanium, combined with a stainless steel jacket based on pillow design.
Titanium clad vessels
— TitaniumA wide range of pressure vessels was provided in Titanium clad for the Avantium pilot plant in Delftzijl The Netherlands.
PEF Materials
Choosing the right materials is critical when handling corrosive intermediates like FDCA and methanol in PEF production. We offer a range of high-performance alloys that guarantee process integrity and long-term reliability.
Titanium
Used in non-critical areas or for equipment with moderate corrosion exposure, titanium offers a good balance between strength and chemical resistance.
Projects
Our PEF projects focus on sustainable innovation and material excellence. From FDCA-resistant columns to corrosion-proof methanol systems — we engineer solutions that meet the challenges of bio-based polymer production.
