Keeping cooling water flowing
Plate geometries designed for dirty water contaminated with dust, scale, and solids, extending intervals between cleanings.

Improve efficiency with Tranter heat exchangers
Steel production runs hot and nonstop. Cooling water picks up dust and solids that clog exchangers. Pickling acids corrode standard designs. But furnaces demand constant, reliable thermal control, because a single unplanned shutdown can cost millions.
That’s why we design our heat exchangers to keep water circuits clean and recover the heat energy that would otherwise go up the stack. And with OEM engineering and service teams on call worldwide, we help you keep the steel flowing while driving down energy costs.

Exploring the steel production industry and the use of heat exchangers
Digesting and heating liquor requires robust exchangers to manage extreme energy demand. Tranter helps reduce downtime, improve throughput, and increase profitability in alumina plants.
In direct reduced iron (DRI) processes, Tranter exchangers enable post-combustion carbon capture and waste heat recovery, helping mills cut CO₂ emissions and align with low-carbon production targets.
Electric arc and basic oxygen furnaces depend on stable cooling. Our exchangers handle the heat load reliably in EAF and BOF operations, ensuring safe, efficient smelting.
From ironmaking to alloying with chromium, nickel, and vanadium, Tranter exchangers manage heating and cooling duties that keep production stable.
Blast furnace stoves recover heat from hot off-gases to preheat incoming air. Tranter exchangers improve energy efficiency and reduce fuel consumption in these critical systems.
Why Tranter
Exchangers installed across steel and aluminum plants across the globe.
90+ years of heat exchanger engineering and materials expertise.
Local service centers and spare parts where and when you need them.
Built for fouling, acids, high duty cycles, and the nonstop demands of steel production.
Carbon capture is becoming central to steel’s decarbonization roadmap. Large volumes of flue gas must be cooled and treated, with solvents regenerated continuously. Tranter exchangers deliver the thermal efficiency and durability needed for safe, stable carbon capture operations.
Steelmakers are under growing pressure to cut costs and emissions. Tranter’s R&D develops anti-fouling plate geometries, corrosion-resistant materials, and compact layouts that recover even more waste heat.
The goals of these innovations are to help you extend uptime, reduce lifecycle costs, and move toward greener production without compromising reliability.
With Tranter FullServ®, you get lifecycle support for every heat exchanger brand. 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 for longer.
