Process Heater

Tell us the fluid you’re heating, whether it’s liquid or gas, and the flow rate or heating load you need. Mounting orientation and whether the site is hazardous-area classified matter too. Share the application, water heating, steam superheating, chemical reactors, or whatever it is, and we’ll size the process heater around that.

A process heater heats the product directly, with no in-between fluid carrying the heat over. That’s the main difference. Thermal fluid heaters warm a separate fluid first, which then transfers heat elsewhere; a process heater skips that step entirely and puts the heat straight into what you’re processing.

The range covers water, process air and gas, lube oil, fuel oil, hydraulic and heat transfer oils, caustic solutions, water-glycol solutions, and chemical reactor fluids. Some clients call these “booster heaters” or “reboilers” depending on the use case, but the underlying heater works across most of these applications.

Yes, both options are available. Which one you go with usually comes down to space at the site and how the piping is laid out. Let us know your site constraints while ordering, and we’ll configure the mounting to fit rather than forcing a standard orientation.

Yes, both unclassified and hazloc-classified solutions are available. If your site falls under a hazardous area classification, mention this upfront, since it changes the build and the safety compliance the heater needs to meet before installation.

It can be supplied as a matched pair, a heater and temperature control panel together, with harmonized operation between the two. Temperature sensors and instrumentation get integrated as part of the same system, so you’re not stitching together separate components on-site.

Yes, that’s actually one of its design strengths. The heater and control system are built to integrate quickly wherever they’re installed, which makes them well suited to mobile setups and transport applications where fixed, permanent wiring isn’t practical.

Depending on the application, you might hear them called “booster heaters,” “reboilers,” or “water bath heaters.” Different names, same underlying category of heater, just described by what job they’re doing in a particular setup.

Yes, it’s built to comply with ASME pressure vessel and piping code requirements, along with the safety standards relevant to your application. If your project has specific compliance needs, mention them at the time of ordering so we can confirm the build meets them.

Because the heater and control panel come pre-integrated as a system, most of the wiring and sensing setup is already done before it reaches your site. That means less on-site labor, fewer connection points to get wrong, and a quicker install overall.
