The world is currently facing severe impacts from climate change. Modern technologies that help reduce the use of fossil fuels, therefore, play a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which are the main cause of global warming. Moreover, adopting these technologies is an efficient way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from energy production processes. Whether it is automated control systems, the use of renewable energy, or more efficient production processes, these technologies not only help protect the environment but also enhance the competitiveness of industries.
Technology enhances the heat transfer efficiency of heat exchangers
The TWISTED TUBE® heat exchanger technology, pioneered by KOCH Heat Transfer, is an innovative approach to improve heat transfer efficiency and address various challenges conventional tube bundles face.
This novel tube design utilizes a triangular arrangement to self-support, eliminating the need for baffles and enhancing heat exchange surface area. The twisted configuration of the tubes ensures close contact over a 4-6 inch span, further maximizing heat transfer efficiency.
The TWISTED TUBE® innovation has been widely adopted across various industries to improve heat exchange processes, such as Oil refineries, Distillation columns, and Petrochemical plants. This technology enhances efficiency, leads to significant energy savings, and reduces production costs.
Innovative tube design technology employs specialized profiles to increase heat transfer efficiency and prevent carbon layer formation, which reduces heat transfer efficiency.
The steam cracking breaks down molecules, producing Olefins such as Ethylene and Propylene. The formation of coke during the steam cracking process is unavoidable. If coke accumulates, it can reduce the efficiency of the steam cracking process, leading to rapid equipment shutdowns and thus causing production losses.
SCope Fusion HT E, an efficient steam cracker tubing developed by Schmidt + Clemens (S+C), is an innovative solution. It combines the high-quality Centralloy® HT E alloy, proven to inhibit coking and carburization, with a mechanically created 3D tube design that slows coke deposition and optimizes the cracking process. This combination ensures maximum energy efficiency, longer maintenance intervals, and increased ethylene yield, instilling confidence in its performance.
The Steamizer XP Flare is a new innovation for clean, smokeless, high efficiency, economical and environmentally friendly combustion. The flare tips create efficient combustion, reducing the emission of combustion waste residues into the atmosphere. It also reduces 30-40% steam consumption in the process by compared to previous technologies.
The Steamizer XP Flare can be widely applied across various industries, such as Petrochemical Plants, Chemical Plants, Oil Refineries, and etc.
The distillation column is the vital heart of the process of separating various mixtures, especially in the Refinery and Petrochemical industries, which need to separate feedstocks comprising hydrocarbon compounds with different weights and boiling points. The column purifies these components through the fractional distillation process.
Improving the distillation column's internal efficiency depends on the column type, which is based on the characteristics of the mixture to be separated and the distillation requirements. Koch Glitsch, an innovation partner of the BE Petrothai Group, has introduced technology equipment solutions that meet these needs, including INTALOX® ULTRA Random Packing and SUPERFRAC® High Performance Trays.
