Chemical/Petrochemical Industry

In the chemical and petrochemical sector safety comes first. Quality control on the process side and the use of right materials and techniques are fundamental. As a corrosion specialist METALogic offers comprehensive and high quality services provides solutions to the challenges in this sector.

The application of high temperature and pressure, the presence of corrosive media and the complexity of an installation are just a few factors that require robust technological solutions. One of the most important hubs in Europe for the chemical and petrochemical industry is Antwerp. Due to our proximity and our expertise in corrosion and materials, we provide our services to a large part of the companies in this area.
