• PHEs in non-corrosive or less demanding • Restored heat transfer

processes (operating at lower temperatures • Reduction of pressure drop
and pressures) • Excellent sealing and elimination of
• PHEs that need: external leakage
– Restored heat transfer • Prolonged PHE lifetime
– Lower pressure drop • Process improvement
– Elimination of external leakage
• Not PHEs that exhibit internal leakage or are
opened frequently

• Clogged PHEs that are normally serviced with
our Red Package (interim service)
• PHEs that need a quick solution to:
– Improve heat transfer
– Reduce pressure drop
– Eliminate external leakage (clip-on gaskets only)
• Not PHEs that exhibit internal leakage or PHEs
with glued gaskets that exhibit external leakage
• Minimal turnaround time
• Improved heat transfer
• Reduction of pressure drop
• Optimization of gasket lifetime
• Moderate process improvement

Our services are organized into three standardized packages:

Red, Yellow and Blue. You choose the package that meets
your needs, without lengthy discussions or questions during
service.
Since the service scope and price are defined in advance, you
