Process Technologies

HELIXCHANGER® Heat Exchanger

Leveraging our industry-proven, enhanced heat transfer technology, the HELIXCHANGER heat exchanger provides solutions to common issues such as shell-side fouling, high-pressure drop and vibration. In the HELIXCHANGER heat exchanger, quadrant shaped baffle plates are placed at an angle to the tube axis in a sequential arrangement to create a helical flow pattern. Installed in refining, power and petrochemical facilities worldwide, our heat exchanger technology offers a lower life-cycle-cost solution for extending the operating period between cleaning campaigns of crude preheat exchangers, reducing capital costs in a petrochemical plant and improving energy-efficiency of feed/effluent towers.

Catalysts

Lummus Technology maintains proprietary catalyst formulations tied to our licensed processes. Catalysts improve process economics by steering reactions to higher conversions and yields.
