To meet the varying needs of the chemical industry, BABCOCK WANSON can provide thermal oil heaters and hot water and steam boilers. The main application is the heating of the reactors carried out through double skin jackets or coils placed inside or outside the reactor.

On this type of application, steam is often used up to temperatures of 200 °C. Steam generators and fire tube boilers are both well suited in these applications.
Thermal fluid heaters provide key advantages in these applications with the ability to provide temperatures in the range of +350 °C to -40 °C. This versatility is of primary importance in the case of exothermic reactions or for step/ramp control of process temperatures during which time the system precisely controls any temperature variations in the reactor.

For the applications requiring a treatment of solvent vapours or exhaust of fine powder products, BABCOCK WANSON offer solutions with VOC thermal oxidisers in conjunction with heat recovery.

In offering high plant availability, BABCOCK WANSON is committed to the provision of service and technical aid 24/24, which can be in the form of a contract created according to the precise client needs.
