Axens to supply electrical tubular heaters to base oil distillation unit in Wesseling
Axens, has been awarded by Shell Deutschland GmbH the Engineering, Procurement and Fabrication contract to supply Electrical Tubular Heater for Shell’s Base Oil Distillation Unit in Wesseling, Germany.
While Shell Deutschland GmbH had earlier this year announced its final investment decision to repurpose its European Shell Energy & Chemicals Park Rheinland in Wesseling, Axens’ Heurtey Petrochem Solutions, a global leader in process furnaces, will contribute to the site’s plan for electrification by providing its unique Electrical Tubular Radiant Heater solution.
Heurtey Petrochem Solutions’ Electrical Tubular Heater operates without direct emissions to the atmosphere, neither CO2 nor NOx, providing an alternative to traditional process fired heaters. Based on a fine tuning of the heat flux density, the Electrical Tubular Heater is designed to operate in very demanding process conditions and to a scale and standards adapted to industry present demand while benefiting from Heurtey Petrochem Solutions experience including references of electrical tubular heaters since the late 1990’s.
In a global context of industry decarbonization, Axens and Heurtey Petrochem Solutions provides support to a wide range of industrial actors to lower the carbon footprint of their installations, either for grass-root units or for existing assets.
