Enabling Engineering Breakthroughs that Lead to a Better Tomorrow

Heatric Exchangers for FPSO and FLNG Facilities

 

Heatric diffusion bonded exchangers bring significant benefits to floating processing facilities, as they can perform within a much lower size and weight envelope when compared to other heat transfer units such as shell and tube.

The significant savings in weight and space created by adopting diffusion bonded heat exchanger technology creates huge project savings in topside structural requirements and increased efficiency in space utilisation – a premium consideration in floating processing applications.

Their small size and weight also provides other operational project savings in terms of transport to site, handling, installation and a reduction in pipework requirements during connection to the processing train.

Due to their solid-state construction, diffusion bonded heat exchangers also bring a number of operational benefits to floating processing applications in terms of safety and the potential to combine multiple processes within a single unit if required.
