EPCM Holdings offers a variety of indirect heaters which are purposefully designed and fabricated. Our indirect water bath heaters are skid-mounted, factory wired and piped to meet design criteria for specific client requirements.
Customized and Standardized Solutions:
EPCM offers a custom-designed range of water bath heaters, tailored to the application, to ensure the medium (typically high-pressure natural gas) is reliably and safely heated to the necessary temperature to meet the downstream process requirements.
Standard capacity and size of indirect water bath heaters are tabulated below. The table is for reference purposes only, actual model number and size will depend on the process condition and other requirements. Standard heater sizes vary between 30 000 – 35 000 000 BTU/hr (10-10 000 kW).
EPCM offers customized design alternatives to meet client specifications and requirements. Contact us for assistance with a customized solution for your project needs
