Watlow LtdProcess Industry - Oil Refining and Petrochem

Distillation and fractionating of crudes, treatment of intermediates, meeting environmental restrictions and quality levels, finalizing blends with additives, polymerisation and plastics production are all attributed to the oil refining/petrochem industry. The vast majority of these processes involve some form of thermal processing. Much of this is accomplished through fired types of heating and steam systems. However, electric process heat is many times called upon to supplement processes, or to tackle jobs that are too difficult or uneconomical to do through other heating means.

For over 30 years, Watlow has proven to be an experienced supplier of electric heaters, controls and heating systems to the refining and petrochemical industry. Watlow understands that reducing maintenance costs, operating costs and increasing uptime are crucial within the industry. Therefore, our focus is to help all of our customers meet their goals.
