Key Engineering Features
High-Pressure Containment
Welded heavy-wall carbon steel and high-alloy shells designed to safely manage explosive gas and hot oil streams.
API-660 Compliant Welding
Strict weld procedures (WPS) and welder qualifications (WPQ) verified by independent third-party inspectors.
Fouling Mitigation
CFD flow modeling optimizes velocities through the tube bundle, reducing hydrocarbon deposition and extending run times.
