Speed in Proving Viability: We quickly determine if a tube bundle replacement is a viable option for your application. 

Calculation Accuracy: We are experienced in creating complete ASME Code calculation solutions from original design drawings. 

Cost Savings: Tube bundle replacement is often considerably less expensive than a complete heat exchanger replacement. 

Lead Time: Significantly shorter lead times are normally achieved when a tube bundle is replaced instead of replacing an entire heat exchanger. 

Process Experience: We are experienced in observing API 571 damage mechanisms that can affect tube bundles in heat exchangers. From material selection upgrades to long-term maintenance plans, we are experienced in supporting the integrity of your process equipment.

I know copying the same design with different materials seems like a great way to save money but it may actually lead to a very dangerous situation during turnarounds. 

What could possibly go wrong?

Turnarounds often involve heat exchanger tube bundle replacements. These tube bundle replacements are often performed by contractors not intimately familiar with each process. Placing the incorrect tube bundle inside a heat exchanger with process conditions the tube bundle was not designed for HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. 

Tube bundles constructed with different materials should not fit into each other’s channels.
