Petrochemical industry
API Schmidt-Bretten can provide you with the right solution for your petrochemical application that is efficient in terms of cost, space and emission requirements.
Shell-and-tube heat exchangers have long played a role in petrochemical applications. However, gasketed and fully welded plate heat exchangers have also become increasingly important in the industry. We offer our customers in the petrochemical industry both shell-and-tube and plate technologies.
When performance under extreme pressure and temperature conditions is critical, our specialized shell-and-tube heat exchangers are ideal. In fact, ours are regularly in operation in a wide variety of offshore and onshore plants.
Our plate heat exchangers – with their high pressure and temperature capabilities, unique materials, and special sealing properties – are ideal for heat recovery applications or solvent condensation.

Typical applications
- Benzene heat recovery
- Condensation of solvents and multicomponent mixtures
- Cooling and heating of intermediate products
- Cooling and heating of reactors and production vessels
- Cooling of hydrocarbons
- Cooling of water circuits
- Heat recovery in petrochemical processes
