We will also carefully consider how your requirements may develop in the future and any cooling solution we install can be adapted if necessary.

Refineries

Petrochemical processes and procedures of a similar nature demand closely monitored climate control in order to assist refinery processes. Fluid chiller units are regularly deployed on site to facilitate many of the processes in the removal of excess heat, among other sources.

Refineries often install high capacity fluid chillers when existing cooling becomes inefficient or closed circuit cooling towers or chillers have broken down or are unavailable. Cooling is used on a multitude of processes within a refinery from Kero merox plants to Hydrocracking to ensure that the process of refining is optimised. As refineries utilise sea water, the existing chilling pipe work and heat exchangers can become extremely vulnerable to corrosion and loss of efficiency due to scaling. At Andrews we supply the full range of fluid chillers, heat exchangers, pump sets and temporary pipe work to ensure your refining process is uninterrupted.

If your refinery is devoid of effective cooling systems then it could seriously hinder your activities going forward. We will help you plan for upcoming operations or projects but can also provide emergency assistance if your current equipment has collapsed. Our instant service and specialised technicians ensure your productivity will be restored to its normal levels, without disturbing other aspects of your process.

Greater use has led to energy consumption increasing, which in turn causes costs to rise to unprecedented levels. This is why it’s essential to correctly calculate the capacity requirements of your plant and then select appropriate equipment accordingly.
