Heat Exchangers for Petrochemical Operations
Petrochemicals and chemicals
When the pressure’s on, your exchangers can’t fail
Cutting runaway energy costs
Petrochemical processes are energy-hungry. Recover more waste heat from cracking, reforming, and cooling to lower fuel use and emissions.
Reduced downtime
Fouling-resistant plate geometries extend cleaning intervals and keep production stable.
Fit your footprint
Space is always at a premium. Tranter’s compact exchangers simplify retrofits and save space in crowded plants.
Audit-ready
Heat exchangers designed to meet ASME, API, EN, and ISO standards for compliance and safety.
OEM support
From FEED to field service. Tranter provides engineering expertise, spare parts, and rapid global response.
Petrochemicals and chemicals
Our specialized expertise
Ethylene oxide & ethylene glycol (EO/EG)
Running EO/EG plants means walking a fine line: aggressive process conditions, high energy demand, and the need to stay aligned with licenser specs.
Tranter’s heat exchangers:
- Improve efficiency in heating, cooling, and water heat recovery, cutting operating costs.
- Resist corrosive conditions with materials proven in EO/EG duty.
- Are backed by experience with leading licensors like SD, Shell, and Dow.
Polyethylene (PE) & Polypropylene (PP)
As two of the most widely produced polymers, PE and PP require precise and efficient heat transfer at every stage. And when every ton of polymer counts, you can’t afford thermal instability.
Our solutions enable:
- Reliable cooling in jackets, reaction mixtures, and purification condensers.
- Solvent recovery and pellet water cooling with wide-gap designs built for fouling and clogging resistance.
- Consistent product quality and uptime in the world’s most produced polymers.
Petrochemicals and chemicals
Applications across petrochemicals
Aromatic chemicals
Benzene, toluene, and xylene production pushes exchangers to their limits.
Tranter units recover more heat and resist fouling, helping you lower energy intensity and keep output steady.
Organic chemicals
Aggressive media, continuous duty, and safety compliance are non-negotiable.
Our corrosion-resistant designs give you durability and peace of mind in critical processes.
Polymers and fibers
Product quality depends on tight thermal control.
Tranter exchangers deliver stable cooling and heating through polymerization and extrusion, minimizing downtime and off-spec production.
Utilities and water treatment
In mills, both processes and utilities keep the plant alive. Our exchangers improve efficiency in steam loops, cooling water, and effluent treatment, reducing overhead while boosting reliability.
Innovation with your future in mind
Our R&D focuses on what matters most in oil and gas: plate designs that handle higher pressures, compact layouts for space-constrained sites, and alloys built for aggressive media.
This means higher efficiency and solutions that help you hit both production and sustainability targets.
Tranter FullServ® – service without limits
With Tranter FullServ®, you get lifecycle support for every brand of heat exchangers. We keep your equipment running, from inspection and reconditioning to emergency on-site service.
Our rapid-response teams and local service centers around the world ensure your exchangers deliver peak performance longer.
Carbon capture and green hydrogen
Cutting CO₂ without cutting output is one of the toughest challenges in petrochemicals. Carbon capture and green hydrogen projects demand exchangers that can handle aggressive solvents and tight energy balances.
Tranter provides solutions for the critical CCUS and hydrogen positions, from lean/rich interchangers to CO₂ coolers. Compact, durable, and fouling-resistant, they help you reduce energy use and integrate cleanly into both retrofits and new builds.
