Petrochemical plants convert natural gas liquids and petroleum-derived feedstocks into chemical building blocks for plastics, synthetic rubber, and other materials. Process heating and cooling equipment must match the fluids, thermal loads, and operating conditions of each application. Supporting water systems also provide heat for duties such as jacketed vessels and plant utilities.
Convection process heaters and air-cooled heat exchangers support thermal-fluid heating and process cooling, while direct steam injection can heat suitable utility-water streams. Blakeslee Equipment helps customers evaluate fluid properties, flow rates, temperature limits, available utilities, and maintenance access, then coordinates with manufacturers to identify heating and cooling equipment suited to their petrochemical facility.
