Process heaters are important in the petrochemicals, oil and gas industry. They increase process efficiency and productivity. All areas housing personnel and temperature-sensitive equipment need ambient temperature control. Some examples would be forced-air-fed areas such as control rooms, electrical switch-gear rooms, pump houses, maintenance buildings and storage areas.
Intake air heaters also avoid ice build-up on turbine blades in cold climates, preventing failures and increasing efficiency. Insulated back panels of the control box can be provided for colder climates to prevent condensation inside the panel.
It is vital that these heaters respect industry regulations and are safe and reliable. Modulating electric heaters also allow for accurate temperature control and energy-efficiency. For highly corrosive, humid and dusty environments, we offer a SS316 or SS304 construction, with SS316L or Incoloy 840 tubular elements.
Neptronic offers a variety of heating elements, controls and related accessories to customize your heater for your needs.
