How to choose the correct heat transfer fluid for gas processing operations

Paratherm Stock scaled

Raw natural gas contains impurities that must be extracted before further processing. Typical impurities include carbon dioxide, water, hydrogen sulphide, ethane, methane and butane, as well as volatile organic compounds like benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene and xylene.

What are thermal fluid systems?

Industrial Drying

Thermal fluid heating systems, sometimes referred to as “hot oil” systems, are a type of industrial system where a specialised heat transfer fluid is recirculated via a pump by way of a fired heat exchanger and is used in a diverse range of industrial applications. Thermal fluid systems are designed to provide heat input required for specific production processes. Continue reading What are thermal fluid systems?

A heat transfer fluid is defined as a liquid or gas that plays a part in transferring heat. It serves as an important intermediary for cooling on one side of the process, by transporting and then storing thermal energy, and then heating at the other end of the process. These invaluable fluids are employed in countless industrial processes and applications that require heating and cooling. They are typically used in a continuous and closed-circuit cycles. For example, water is used to cool vehicle engines, but is also employed to heat water in a central heating system using radiators. Continue reading All you need to know about heat transfer fluids

What is heat transfer oil used for?

industrial 10

Heat transfer fluids, sometimes referred to as thermal oils, are designed to carry thermal energy in machine cooling, metalworking and process heating applications. Multiple products exist, including circulating coolants, anti-freezes, chiller fluids and refrigerants that are utilised to either provide cooling or to transfer heat Continue reading What is heat transfer oil used for?
