IOC goes for ABB''s heat exchanger
By Our Corporate Bureau | 07 Jun 2004
The helitower heat exchanger is said to be a robust, economical and longer lasting alternative to the existing welded plate heat exchanger (WPHE) equipment. A tower with helical baffles provides advantages over the conventional tower, which include a reduction in size and surface area, meeting process parameters, and the ability to be installed on the existing structure. A similar installation has been in operation at the Bongaigon refinery for the last 17 years.
The equipment will be fabricated by ABB Lummus Global''s licensee, Larsen & Toubro Limited.
