PAL Certified Quality
Technical Overview
Refineries operate continuously under severe conditions involving high temperatures, heavy fouling, and corrosive hydrocarbons. PAL ENGINEERS supplies heavy-duty Shell & Tube and U-Tube heat exchangers designed strictly to API-660 and TEMA standards. These units are deployed as crude preheaters, fractionator condensers, and bottoms coolers, maximizing energy recovery and minimizing downtime.
Engineering Specifications
| Design Standards | API-660, TEMA R, ASME Sec VIII |
| Materials | Carbon Steel, Cr-Mo Alloys, Stainless Steel |
| Operating Pressures | Up to 150 BAR |
| Typical Uses | Crude preheating train, vacuum distillation overheads |
Key Engineering Features
Heavy-Fouling Resistance
Custom baffle arrangements and increased tube pitch to handle high-viscosity, fouling-prone fluids like heavy crude.
Removable Tube Bundles
U-Tube and Floating Head configurations allow for complete bundle extraction for high-pressure water jet cleaning.
