Petrochemicals sometimes abbreviated as petchems are the chemical products obtained from petroleum by refining. Some chemical compounds made from petroleum are also obtained from other fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, or renewable sources such as maize, palm fruit or sugar cane.

Petrochemicals are vital to raising living standards in developing nations and promoting sustainability in developed ones. Found in items such as solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, insulation, and electric vehicles, petrochemicals can now be derived from renewable sources and recycled materials. In JINFAN,  it is our job to support these processes, enhancing their productivity and efficiency as we strive towards achieving Net-zero emissions. 

We know that each plant has unique heat transfer needs. We offer the widest range of tailored solutions, the best product and comprehensive spare parts to maximize performance optimization.

Heat Recovery: They are employed to recover heat from hot streams (such as process streams or exhaust gases) and transfer it to incoming fluids, thereby improving overall energy efficiency.

Cooling and Condensation: In cooling applications, plate heat exchangers can efficiently cool down hot fluids using a coolant or water. They also facilitate condensation of vapors into liquids by providing a surface for heat removal.

Heating: They are used for heating applications where heat from a hot fluid stream is transferred to colder fluids, such as in preheating feedstock or heating process fluids.

Oil Refining and Petrochemical Processing: Plate heat exchangers are integral in various stages of oil refining, such as in cooling crude oil after distillation or condensing hydrocarbons. They also find applications in processing petrochemicals like ethylene, propylene, and various intermediates.
