SHPHE's March–June 2026 contract awards span chemical materials, alumina production, carbon fiber and offshore engineering. The projects illustrate why large industrial sites often need a portfolio of plate heat exchangers rather than a single exchanger type for every duty.
| Month | Project announced | Equipment scope |
|---|---|---|
| March | Wanhua Chemical, 200,000-tonne/year iron phosphate project | High-temperature plate air preheaters for an operating-temperature requirement above 600°C |
| April | Satellite Chemical, Alpha-Olefin Comprehensive Utilisation High-End New Materials Industrial Park | Large gasketed plate heat exchangers, with reported area above 2,000 m² per unit |
| May | Wanhua Chemical, 400,000-tonne/year polyolefin elastomer project | Large gasketed plate heat exchangers |
| June | Hebei Xinye Materials, 7.4-million-tonne alumina hydrate and new-materials project | Wide-gap, large gasketed and welded plate heat exchangers |
| June | Sinopec, large-tow carbon fiber project | Gasketed plate heat exchangers |
| June | CNOOC subsea production and distribution platform project | HT-Bloc welded plate heat exchanger |
These entries describe contract awards reported by SHPHE. An award is a different milestone from shipment, commissioning or demonstrated operating performance.
In battery-material and chemical complexes, hot gas heat recovery, liquid cooling and solids-bearing slurry service impose different design constraints. The same distinction appears within an alumina project, where utility-water duties and precipitation-slurry duties should be specified separately.
Gas heat recovery: plate air preheater is evaluated around gas composition, dust, duct pressure drop and cold-end wall temperature.
Clean liquid and utility service: gasketed plate heat exchangers provides removable plate access where the selected gasket and material are compatible.
Slurry service: wide-gap welded plate heat exchanger is evaluated around particles, fibers, settling, erosion and channel access.
Welded process service: HT-Bloc welded plate heat exchanger combines a welded plate pack with accessible cover arrangements for the relevant configuration.
A useful equipment schedule assigns a tag and process role to every heat exchanger. Each tag should have its own normal and design conditions, material requirements, pressure-drop allowance and maintenance constraints. Plant production capacity, such as tonnes per year, gives project context but does not by itself size an individual exchanger.
For large-area units, engineering should also review transport dimensions, lifting weight, foundation or skid loads and the space needed to open the equipment. These requirements can affect the final configuration before fabrication begins.
Send the heat-exchanger list and available process datasheets rather than only a total plant capacity. SHPHE can review the interfaces between gas recovery, process cooling and utility systems and identify which product families warrant a detailed thermal and mechanical assessment.
