Oil & Gas

Vahterus -Plate&Shell-® (PSHE) Heat Exchangers combine the benefits of traditional heat exchangers. PSHE can either be described as a fully welded, high integrity plate heat exchanger, with no gaskets; or a generic alternative to Shell & Tube, approx. 25% of the footprint, displaying both space and weight benefits.

PSHE is an ideal solution for Upstream Processes, such as Oil & Gas Production, Handling and Transportation; and Downstream Processes, such as Refineries and Petrochemical Plants.
To further extend Vahterus applications and capabilities within the Oil & Gas sector, Vahterus PSHE pressure range has been increased. It is now possible to utilise Vahterus PSHE with Design Pressures up to 200 bar(g), whilst still benefitting form the space and weights savings PSHE can offer.
