Corrosive environments demand more from ductwork.
Chemical plants and wastewater facilities may expose duct systems to corrosive fumes, chemical vapors, moisture, odors, particulate, and more. Choosing ductwork based only on diameter, layout, or upfront cost can lead to premature wear, leakage, maintenance issues, and avoidable downtime.
So how do you choose the right duct material?
The answer depends on the actual application and operating conditions.
In our latest blog post, we break down key considerations for ductwork in chemical and wastewater environments, including:
โ When galvanized steel may be appropriate
โ Why stainless steel can be a better choice for corrosive or moisture-heavy applications
โ When flanged ductwork makes sense for heavy-duty systems
โ The role of airtight connections, gaskets, and specialty materials
โ Key questions to ask before selecting duct material
The right ductwork material should be selected based on the airstream, corrosion exposure, moisture, pressure conditions, temperature, and long-term performance expectations of the facility.
