Applications
Select an application to see how our heat exchangers address your specific chemical processing requirements.
Chemical processes generate significant waste heat from exothermic reactions, distillation columns, and process exhaust streams at 150–500°C. Our EcoTherm EST shell and tube heat exchangers recover this thermal energy for feedstock preheating, solvent regeneration, or facility heating — reducing total energy consumption by 15–30%. Counterflow SS 304L construction ensures chemical compatibility and corrosion resistance across aggressive process environments.
