The chemical and process engineering industries place extremely high demands on heat supply, controllability, availability and safety. Reactors, distillation and rectification columns, mixers, evaporators and evaporator systems, spray and contact dryers, heat treatment systems, storage tanks and tank farms, and process piping require not only precisely defined temperature levels but also extremely stable load control. At the same time, media must be strictly separated, emissions controlled, and plants operated safely. Most processes are continuous, and efficiency and availability are key economic factors.
Process heating solutions
CAW designs and supplies comprehensive process heating solutions engineered for technical clarity and industrial robustness. Process heating systems with thermal oil heaters enable highly precise temperature control for reaction and heating processes. Additional heat exchangers can be used to provide secondary media such as steam, warm and hot water, or hot gases. Tube-and-shell heat exchangers are particularly important here, as they safely separate media while simultaneously transferring high heat loads. The design is based on defined temperature ranges, pressure levels, susceptibility to fouling, and material requirements.
For exhaust air streams containing VOCs, solvents or odorous substances, CAW designs thermal incinerator systems for thermal exhaust air treatment, and purification. The focus is on defined residence times, stable and complete combustion, and strict compliance with specified emission limits. Waste heat is recovered via economizers, heat recovery systems, or downstream heating surfaces and integrated into existing energy management systems. Electric heaters supplement processes where emission-free heat or even greater control precision is required.
CAW develops proven turnkey solutions that combine process reliability and energy efficiency. The goal is always to create systems that operate stably over the long term, are adjustable across a wide range of loads and temperatures, and at the same time minimize operating costs.
