Primarily used for road construction, flat roofing and as an adhesive, bitumen (asphalt) is a vital component of modern infrastructure.

Refineries are constantly pushing to improve their processes in order to improve profitability. Because refining is such an energy-intensive process and many refineries are using outdated technology, there is room for improvement.

Your plant is likely under constant pressure to increase efficiency and decrease operating costs. Compact plate heat exchangers deliver effective process heating while demanding only a small plant footprint compared to shell-and-tube exchanger designs.

Designed for close temperature approach of fluids to maximize heat recovery, the semi-welded Plateflow is suited for use in aggressive chemical applications or those where reducing the fluid’s contact with elastomers is desired.
