Featured Story – Coating: a viable way to prevent shell & tube heat exchanger...

Each year, corrosion in process equipment causes substantial financial consequences in production plants, particularly in the chemical and petrochemical industry. Increasing investments for the replacement of equipment made of alloys lead to rising operating costs, which in turn endanger profitability and sustainability. One of the causes for equipment failure and loss of performance, particularly in heat exchangers, is fouling.

Featured Story – Fouling and plate heat exchangers

The fouling factors, which are used in the design of heat exchangers are normally specified by the client based on his experience of running his plant, or on processes to simulate dirt accumulation on the heat transfer surfaces. If this fouling is not restricted to adequate levels then it can totally negate any benefits generated by skillful design.

Located at Rotterdam in The Netherlands, Shell’s Pernis facilities form part of the largest refinery in Europe and one of the biggest in the world. They cover an area of more than 1000 football pitches and employ over 1900+ staff spread over 60 plants. Working there is Arjan Woerden, a materials and corrosion engineer who is charged with looking after the crude distillation units (including hydrotreating units), the platforming unit, and the hydroconversion (hycon) unit.

Featured Story – Freedom! 3D printing will revolutionize heat exchanger design and manufacture

Until recently, heat exchanger design has been restricted broadly to two types, shell-and-tube and plate-and-frame. The manufacturing processes – welding, brazing or gasketing – are time-consuming and expensive. All this is changing, thanks to 3D-printing. This new technology has opened up heat exchangers to new designs, allowing them to be tailor-made for a given application.
