Tanker Industry

Explore our expertise

Crude oil tankers

Crude oil tankers, pivotal to the marine industry, transport unrefined oil worldwide, using heat exchangers to maintain it at a pumpable viscosity by transferring heat from mediums like steam or hot water to the cargo.

Chemical tankers

Chemical tankers, essential for the marine industry, transport various chemicals in liquid form worldwide, ensuring their safe and efficient delivery. These vessels use heat exchangers to precisely control cargo temperatures, maintaining their pumpable state and preventing solidification or viscosity changes.

Applications in the tanker industry

Clean fuel engines

Clean fuel engines combined with efficient heat exchangers represent a significant advancement in making container vessels more sustainable. These technologies not only comply with stringent environmental regulations but also enhance fuel efficiency and operational performance.

Engine cooling

Marine engines in various vessels face tough conditions and produce a lot of heat. Cooling systems are crucial to dissipate this heat, avoiding overheating, potential engine failure, and expensive repairs. Heat exchangers play a key role in preventing overheating and maintaining efficiency.

Deck heating

Deck heating systems use steam, hot water, or electric elements, with heat exchangers transferring the warmth directly to the cargo.
