ABOUT VITHERM ASIA

Your heat transfer partner in Asia since 1996.

Since 1996, Vitherm Asia has been Vitherm's dedicated partner in Asia, providing industrial customers with proven heat transfer expertise, reliable technologies and responsive local support. We work closely with our customers to understand their processes and operating constraints, helping them identify the most suitable heat exchanger solution for their applications.

By combining local market knowledge with Vitherm's international engineering and manufacturing capabilities, we provide long-term support throughout the life cycle of each installation.

Our Commitment

Upholding quality and maintaining customer satisfaction remain our highest priorities.

Through Vitherm's longstanding engineering experience and Vitherm Asia's local presence, we are committed to delivering reliable heat transfer solutions, responsive support and lasting value to our customers across Asia.

A heritage of continuous innovation.

Vitherm’s worldwide team of experts builds on an extensive history that began in 1948. Since then, the company has continuously invented, developed and improved its heat exchanger technologies.

Decades of research and development have enhanced thermal performance, reliability and operational efficiency while responding to changing process-industry requirements. Today, Vitherm Asia links these worldwide capabilities with customers throughout Asia.

APPLICATIONS KNOWLEDGE

Engineering starts with understanding the process.

Our role extends beyond equipment supply. We examine the duty, fluids, temperatures, pressures, fouling risks and maintenance constraints before guiding customers toward the appropriate configuration.

01

Process review

Understanding operating conditions, performance targets and site constraints.

02

Technology selection

Choosing between flexible FlowPack® and robust, accessible WeldPack® solutions.

03

Materials & configuration

Adapting plate, gasket and construction choices to the fluids and duty.

04

Life-cycle support

Supporting dependable operation, inspection, cleaning and maintenance over time.

Vitherm’s professional engineers are all skillfully trained in applications knowledge. With this expertise, our engineers are able to design solutions and provide customers with technical and process support.

For instance, when a crude oil refinery needs to improve the efficiency of the crude preheating train of an ADU (Atmospheric Distillation Unit), a simple heat exchanger manufacturer is not sufficient. The refinery needs a knowledgeable partner that understands how an ADU works, from the tanks to the fired heater.

With our expertise, Vitherm excels at manufacturing heat exchangers and providing appropriate process solutions.

After understanding the customer’s requirements, Vitherm engineers can propose a suitable solution, from designing new units and revamps to debottlenecking projects and energy-saving improvements.

CASE STUDIES

Proven performanceacross demanding industries.

Case study Vitherm Asia, Oil and GasMALAYSIA / MIDDLE EASTOil & GasGlycol regeneration and heat recovery

Vitherm Asia clinched an order from our loyal clients in the petroleum industry. Both heat exchangers will be installed in a Middle Eastern refinery.

The equipment are a glycol regeneration cooler and a lean/rich glycol exchanger. The glycol dehydration system is a crucial refinery process that removes saturated water vapour from natural gas using glycol. Our heat exchangers will provide heat transfer for the glycol fluids.

Vitherm welded heat exchangers will be used for this heat recovery process. Their proven mechanical strength gave Vitherm Asia a competitive edge. Easy accessibility makes 100% cleaning possible, while the Vitherm Asia plate pattern supports extensive, trouble-free operation.

Case study Vitherm Asia, Chemical ProcessingUSAChemical ProcessingMEG regeneration and waste heat recovery

Vitherm Asia proudly announces a momentous achievement in winning a prestigious order from a satisfied customer in the chemical industry in the USA. One regeneration unit was supplied for this project.

During the regeneration process of MEG (monoethylene glycol), Vitherm Asia’s innovative solutions enable the recovery and utilization of waste heat from high-temperature lean MEG, condensate water or reflux. This recovered heat is then used to heat the rich MEG, improving energy efficiency and reducing operating expenditure (OPEX).

Vitherm Asia’s plate heat exchangers are built on cutting-edge technology and set new industry standards. Advanced plate designs maximize heat-transfer efficiency, ensuring rapid and effective MEG regeneration. Vitherm Asia’s pursuit of technical excellence delivers superior performance and optimized customer operations.

Proven mechanical strength gives Vitherm Asia an advantage over competing solutions. Easy accessibility makes 100% cleaning possible, while the Vitherm Asia plate pattern supports extensive and trouble-free operation.

Case study Vitherm Asia, Oil RefiningTAIWANOil RefiningMotive fluid cooler for a refinery

Vitherm Asia clinched an order for the supply of another unit for a refinery in Taiwan. This motive fluid cooler will be part of the Flare Gas Recovery System (FGRS), a process that recovers waste gas that would otherwise be flared. Reusing this fuel gas elsewhere in the facility is both economical and helps reduce emissions.

Case study Vitherm Asia, Palm Oil ProcessingMALAYSIAPalm Oil Processing13 welded heat exchangers for a major palm oil company

Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is processed either by physical or chemical refining, subsequently producing RBDPO or NBDPO: refined or neutralized, bleached and deodorized palm oil. These products are then subjected to fractionation to obtain liquid olein and solid stearin fractions. For edible oil processing, dry fractionation is widely used because it is the most economical methodology.

Vitherm welded heat exchangers will be used mainly in the pre-heating, economizer and steam-heater sections of the plant. Vitherm Asia was selected for its track record in the palm oil industry.

WeldPack®’s strong and unique column and plate-pack design helps avoid leakage at the corners. Easy accessibility also makes 100% cleaning possible, while the Vitherm Asia plate pattern supports extensive and trouble-free operation.

Case study Vitherm Asia, chemical plantTAIWANChemical PlantCarbonate absorption heat recovery

Vitherm Asia is thrilled to announce a significant milestone as we secure a prestigious order from a highly satisfied customer in the chemical industry based in Taiwan. 10 units were supplied for this project for various uses.

In the carbonate absorption process, a lean carbonate solution is used to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from a gas stream, resulting in a rich carbonate solution. The lean carbonate solution, after absorbing the CO2, becomes rich in CO2 and requires regeneration to release the absorbed CO2 and restore its original composition.

The purpose of these heat exchangers is to enhance the thermal efficiency of the carbonate absorption process, minimize energy consumption, and optimize the temperature profiles of the carbonate streams. This contributes to cost savings, improved process performance, and reduced environmental impact by maximizing the utilization of heat energy within the system.

With proven track records of its unique mechanical strength, Vitherm Asia has the cutting edge over other competitors. It also allows easy accessibility, hence making it possible for 100% cleaning due to the pattern on Vitherm Asia plates, giving extensive and trouble-free operation.
