  • Eliminate heat exchanger fouling with Watlow’s HELIMAX technology

    Fluctuations within the heat exchanger to either the operating temperature or the mass flow rate are common causes of coking, which can lead to system failures and expensive downtime. Some heat exchanger design methods, like segmental baffles, have known dead zones where hot spots can occur, accelerating the coking process. Watlow’s HELIMAX ultra-efficient heat exchanger was designed to eliminate temperature-related failures. Leveraging our proven, patent-pending continuous ...

  • The Refinery of the Future

    This change toward more integrated complexes already has begun. As recently as five years ago, roughly 15 percent of new CCR PlatformingTM units were designed for petrochemicals production. Today, that number has risen to nearly 70 percent. New integrated complexes in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and China — where GDP growth is highest — are being designed to convert as much as two-thirds of their feedstock into petrochemicals. No two complexes will have the same solution, ...
