Industry Overview
1. Industry Demand
Core petroleum refining processes, including atmospheric-vacuum distillation, catalytic cracking and hydrofining, face extreme working conditions of high temperature & pressure, severe coking and fouling, strong acid corrosion and strict temperature control. Heat exchangers are required to deliver outstanding temperature resistance, anti-coking performance, high efficiency and structural stability to ensure long-term unit operation and stable product quality.
2. Core Working Stations
Core working scenarios cover high-temperature heavy oil cooling for distillation, slurry heat exchange for catalytic cracking, high-pressure precision heat exchange for hydrofining, side-stream medium cooling, feed preheating and system waste heat recovery. Widely used in main refining units and auxiliary energy-saving renovation, it stabilizes production conditions, improves throughput and reduces overall energy consumption.
