EKME S.A. is proud to announce that it is now an official HTRI Member, capable to provide exchanger engineering services for all TEMA type Shell & Tube Heat Exchanges using the HTRI Xchanger Suite.
EKME has over 40 years of experience in the supply of heat exchangers primarily for the Oil and Gas sector. It’s expertise in carrying out a diverse range of HEXs, including High Pressure exchangers, has won EKME the reputation of one of the top HEX suppliers in Europe.
EKME’s detailed engineering benefits from a deep understanding of fabrication process and detailed CAD design. Our specialist Heat Transfer Engineers have extensive experience in the Oil, Gas and Chemical Industries, and have been involved in Heat Exchangers design for Oil Refineries, PDH and ECR projects and Renewables Industry plants such as Thermosolar Plants, and CO2 Capture Projects.
Thermal design of all types of Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers, in addition to the mechanical design and fabrication, is fully carried out in house, using specialist software such as COMPRESS (by CODEWARE), PV ELITE (by COADE), FEPIPE ( FE Calculations) and latest addition HTRI Xchanger suite with additional developed programming to enhance their capabilities.
A fully incremental program, Xist contains HTRI’s latest pointwise methods based on extensive shellside and tubeside condensation, boiling and single-phase data.
Below are examples of HEXs design our team can carry through:
1. Cross flow shell type X design for multiple series of shells, capable of facing with process fluids temperature cross- over, large shell side vapor amounts, low Shell Side pressure drop, whilst eliminating fluidelastic vibrations problems.
2. Low fins tubes design to increase the effective heating surface.
3. Kettle type heat exchanger optimization design for evaporating Liquid CO2 whilst Wet CO2 is cooled at tube side.
4. Velocities and pressure drop optimization for Cooling Water AET Type HEX purposed for cooling down demineralized water by using brackish water.
5. Design of Supercritical CO2 Cooler used for CO2 cooling, using cooling water flowing at shell side.
6. Large Scale Project PDH Propylene unit heat exchangers design verification
7. Large Scale Project ECR Ethane Cracker unit heat exchangers design verification
8. Thermal Solar Plant, molten salt – water steam heat exchangers design
9. Hydrogen Project H2 Coolers design.
