Custom Equipment for Demanding Thermal Service
Economizers, air preheaters, superheaters, condensers, and heat recovery systems engineered for fouling, pressure, temperature, corrosion, and erosion conditions that standard equipment cannot handle.
EQUIPMENT TYPES
Heat Transfer Equipment
Every design starts with the process requirements and the layout constraints. Our engineers size and detail heat transfer equipment for conventional service through severe-duty applications: high-pressure, high-temperature, corrosive, erosive, multi-phase, and slurry environments. Each unit is engineered to the applicable codes and standards with materials, geometry, and cleaning provisions matched to the process.
PROJECT EXAMPLES
Heat transfer engineering
project examples
Debottlenecking
Biochar Facility Debottlenecking & Capacity Expansion
A comprehensive pyrolysis yield analysis with heat and mass balance to identify process and equipment constraints and engineer a path for tripling biochar production capacity.
Root-Cause Investigation
Steam contamination pathway traced to source
Multiple contamination pathways identified across the steam and condensate systems. However, the primary driver for the issue was galvanic corrosion in galvanized piping downstream of an RO system. Corrective actions and appropriate metallurgies were identified and deployed.
THE CPE DIFFERENCE
Engineers who size, specify,
and troubleshot this equipment
CPE's engineers design, troubleshoot, and optimize the boiler, steam, and process systems where this equipment operates. That domain knowledge shows up in material selections, system automations, operating envelopes, and arrangement decisions.
ASME code depth
Section I, Section VIII, B31.1, B31.3 designs
Thermal analysis expertise
Heat and mass balance, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, fouling factor analysis, steam/water chemistry analysis, CFD for flow distribution, and FEA for thermal stress - applied to heat transfer equipment decisions.
Full equipment lifecycle
From preliminary sizing studies through FEED, detailed design, fabrication support, field performance verification, and asset integrity evaluation.
Industry breadth
Refineries, pulp and paper, sugar, food and beverage, chemical processing, power generation, ethanol, edible oils, and more - CPE designs complete systems bespoke for each application.
