"Advanced thermal engineering for the most demanding processes."

Who’s next?

The ROBOX ‘one-stop shopping solution’: solutions ranging from MEG/DEG coolers for distillation, nitrogen heaters, and vacuum condensers to reactors in Hastelloy.

The diverse requirements range from corrosion resistance and the use of high-grade materials, thermal solutions for specific batch processes, and extreme process conditions, to the necessity of realizing complex constructions and precise manufacturing tolerances.

Because ROBOX employs a project-based approach and maintains a widely accepted high-quality standard, it can act quickly and flexibly while focusing on specific challenges. In this way, the diverse needs and requirements of this market can be fully met.

Projects
Petrochemicals

Innovative application of constructions, additional customer requirements, or extreme operational conditions, such as high temperatures and pressures.

Plug Flow Reactor

/
Classification: Fixed tube sheet heat exchanger with removable bonnets and water injection. Features: The client will be stripping nitrogen from a gas stream. This gas stream must be heated and cooled during the process.

Reactor vessel

/
Classification: Reactor vessel without tubes, featuring a sight glass and connection nozzles, including custom-designed flanges. Characteristics: The client aims to utilize formic acid to respond to the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. To facilitate this, we were involved early on based on our thermal expertise. A reactor vessel was required quickly to test […]

Air Blower Cooler

/
Classification: ACHE, with 2 fans per bay, plug type header, high-finned tube, louvers, electric heating, platform. Features: Air cooler for a THIOPAQ unit in Rotterdam. The plug-type header allows for easy cleaning of the tubes. To protect the bundle and the process gas from freezing, an electric heater is placed under the bundle and a […]

Thermal Oil Cooler

Classification: Air cooler, dual design, 2 fans per bundle, adjustable blade pitch, frequency-controlled motors. BHFB type, designed according to API 661. Features: Thermal oil, extruded finned tubes, and removable headers. Strict noise requirements. Had to be designed to fit on the roof of a new boiler house.

Nitrogen Heaters

Various coolers for a packaged mobile wellhead compressor unit. Multiple scenarios were calculated, and the “worst case” was identified for each device. Coolers designed and built according to NAM specifications.

Post Condenser

For a vacuum application, our client, a vacuum system builder, is supplying a skid to Spain. This skid requires a condenser to condense liquid from the process gas under vacuum (2 kPa). The post condenser is a liquid/gas condenser and uses cooling water (in the tubes) to cool the process gas and condense several components.
