AlWaFlon pressure tubes supplied by Wallstein Ingenieur GmbH of Recklinghausen, Germany are made with DuPont Teflon polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). This enables them to resist the highly corrosive media present within the flue gas desulphurisation plants of coal-fired power stations. Unlike heat exchangers made of nickel-base alloys, these systems withstand a long-term exposure to aggressive acid mixtures.

The National Facility for Ultra-Precision Surfaces in the OpTIC Glyndwr centre, St Asaph, North Wales, has emerged as one of the world's leading centres for the preparation of large surfaces of the order of one square metre to nanometre accuracy. An important aspect of this work has been the integration of both polishing and measurement within a single facility.
