Case Story

Vahterus are key to project success at GSK

GlaxoSmithKline's condenser Replacement Project involved the replacment of 12-year-old glass condenser tightly housed in nine chemistry pilot plant (CPP) modules at their R&D centre in Stevenage, England. The modules are located in an R&D facility that provides more than half of the worldwide plant capacity used to supply drug substance for clinical trial.

Vahterus Offshore

The Offshore / Oil & Gas market had long been viewed as an excellent opportunity for Vahterus Plate & Shell Heat Exchanger (PSHE) technology. Small footprint and reduced weight, aligned with wide raging pressure and temperature capabilities, should have proved an excellent opportunity for this technology offsjore. However in the past, many cited limited PSHE references as a deterrent in such a critical operating environment; but this is no longer the case.

Gas Cooling in GoM

As the inventors and pioneers of Plate & Shell Heat Exchangers (PSHE) technology, Vahterus successes in the Offshore and Oil & Gas markets, continue to form a critical part of the company's continual development and fast paced growth. With almost all oil majors now having some experience with PSHE, applications and installations continue to grow exponentially.

Snam Rete Gas

Snam Rete Gas s.p.A, member of the ENI group, manages the Italian network for the transportation of natural gas to local distribution points. Pressure reduction plants are located in between the main gas pipelines and local networks. They use heat exchangers to heat the gas before the first decompression and to heat combustible gas for boilers.

New type of Condenser for the Reconstruction of the Oldest Electric Power Plant of Moscow GES-1

OAO Mosenergo, including GES-1 plant is the largest Russian power generating company running on organic fuel. Vahterus PSHE 14LL-880/1/ was installed at GES-1 plant in September 2008. While operating at full load the flow rate of district heating water per units is 110 t/h with heating capacity over 72 MW.
