High-performance titanium tubes selected and optimized for local environmental and industrial architectures.
Analysis of environmental salinity, riverbed corrosion, and infrastructure demand along the Senegal River.
Kaédi, positioned strategically in the Gorgol region of southern Mauritania, acts as a primary agricultural and hydrologic link. The presence of the Senegal River brings unique environmental issues: variable saline intrusion, high silt content, and elevated seasonal temperatures characteristic of the Sahelian zone. Traditional carbon steel and lower-grade stainless steel pipes suffer from accelerated microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) and pitting in brackish environments.
To establish durable civil water and chemical transport networks, engineers are adopting ASTM B338 Grade 2 Titanium Tubes. These products feature natural oxide passivation layers that are resistant to chloride-rich conditions. ProX Metal delivers custom titanium tubing to meet these regional constraints, providing reliable performance for local infrastructures.
The high suspension of particulate silt in the Senegal River basin calls for materials that can withstand erosion-corrosion. When typical pipes handle high-velocity sandy flows, their protective oxide layers wear down, resulting in rapid failure.
Titanium's durable oxide film heals almost instantly when oxygen is present. This structural integrity prevents deep erosion-corrosion even under high flow rates. Additionally, its high strength-to-weight ratio allows for thinner-walled tubing, improving heat transfer in thermal exchange structures and reducing freight costs to southern Mauritania.

We offer thorough solutions spanning from standard products to customized offerings, committed to delivering quality service to our customers worldwide, including direct logistics pathways to Mauritania.
We offer multiple products to support your projects.
Proven industrial applications worldwide and in local West African regions.
Widely used against corrosive media such as chlor-alkali and sulfuric acid. It helps ensure clean operation, prevents material leakage, and preserves product purity.
Supplies high-strength, corrosion-resistant titanium materials for downhole exploration, drilling risers, off-shore platforms, and coastal refining structures.
Excellent resistance to seawater and brackish environments makes titanium a reliable choice for marine piping, heat exchangers, and underwater propulsion systems.
Helps improve thermal efficiency and extends the working life of desalination systems through strong corrosion resistance, light weight, and reliable heat conductivity.
Managing challenges related to dust, heat, and structural requirements in Mauritanian projects.
In environments like Kaédi, atmospheric dust and sand present welding challenges. Standard field welds can fail if silica particles contaminate the molten titanium pool. To address this, we recommend controlled-atmosphere chambers or local trailing shields utilizing high-purity argon gas (99.999%).
Our technical team provides detailed welding and maintenance guidelines for ASTM B862 welded pipes, helping local engineering teams achieve clean joint integrity and maintain the piping system's corrosion resistance.
Every titanium pipe we deliver undergoes strict quality control. In addition to ISO 9001 audits, we perform several testing procedures before shipping to West African destinations:
