Petrochemical & chemical facilities are continually adjusting operations to improve performance, increase capacity, and adapt to changing conditions, often placing added strain on existing heat transfer equipment. While installing larger or additional exchangers is common, it is not always the most efficient or cost-effective solution.
This presentation will highlight practical approaches to debottlenecking heat transfer systems and improving asset performance. It will introduce TWISTED TUBE® Heat Exchanger technology. TWISTED TUBE® offers enhanced reliability and has demonstrated up to 40% greater heat recovery compared to conventional shell and tube designs without requiring any changes to the existing shell and piping adjacent to it.
Metalforms, through its acquisition of Koch Heat Transfer, brings decades of experience in optimizing existing equipment rather than replacing it. By applying targeted engineering solutions, we help achieve meaningful performance gains, higher heat recovery, lower CO2 emissions, while maintaining the current footprint and avoiding disruption to Turnaround (TAR) schedules.
Attendees will gain insight into cost-effective solutions that enhance performance, extend equipment life, and maximize existing infrastructure.
