CRUDE HEATER UNIT

Our expertise in crude heater units plays a vital role in optimising the preheating of crude oil before it enters the distillation process. By ensuring precise temperature control, our CHU’s prevent wax formation from clogging distribution pipelines. This critical process not only ensures the smooth operation of your refinery but also contributes to better overall performance and profitability. With our tailor-made heating solutions, our CHU systems indirectly heat crude oil to prevent high heat flux damage. We employ either a direct-fired heater coupled with a shell and tube heat exchanger or a waterbath heating technique to deliver your solution.
