Plate & Shell in Chemical and Process Industry Applications

Most chemical and process plants work on continuous processes. Custom-made Plate & Shell Heat Exchangers are ideal for improving the capacity of an existing process, and also for building a new optimised plant. Their counter-current design, effective heat transfer, and low fouling maximise energy efficiency. The recovery of process heat decreases energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.

Speciality chemicals and pharmaceuticals are often produced in batch processes, which involve rapid temperature changes. Vahterus Plate & Shell Heat Exchangers withstand these, and their fully welded design, protective shell construction and high quality make them safe and easy to use.

Industry uses: Refinery, Petrochemical, Speciality and fine chemical, Pharmaceutical, Industrial gas, Fertilizer, Food and beverage, Pulp and paper.

Applications for the chemical and process industries:

• Product heaters and coolers
• Gas heaters and coolers
• Heat-recovery exchangers like feed/effluent exchangers
• Overhead condensers and gas liquefiers
• Thermosyphon and kettle reboilers
• Reactor temperature-control heat exchangers
• Cryogenic applications
• Various utility applications
