In the overseas market , L & T Heavy Engineering ( LTHE ) secured orders for one of the heaviest reactors and screw plug heat exchangers for a refinery in Mexico . These orders reflect the customer ’ s faith in L & T Heavy Engineering ’ s reliability and commitment . The company also secured orders for the supply of critical Reactors and Vessels for blue ammonia projects in the USA and Uzbekistan . The company also bagged strategic orders for process plant equipment from a European client . All the orders were won against stiff international competition on the back of reliable performance . On the domestic front , L & T Heavy Engineering secured orders to manufacture critical Residue

upgrading reactors and to design & manufacture high-pressure screw plug heat exchangers with complex Cr-Mo-V steel material for IOCL ’ s Panipat Refinery P25 expansion project . Further , L & T Heavy Engineering ’ s Modification , Revamp , and Upgrade ( MRU ) business segment won an order to revamp a urea plant on an EPC basis . The objective of the revamp is to improve the reliability and safety of a very old (> 50 yrs .) plant , increase this plant ’ s capacity and enhance its energy efficiency . Additionally , the company secured a repeat order from a reputed fertilizer manufacturer for the fabrication and installation of steam superheater coils .

Rheem ’ s Commercial water heating and HVAC divisions have each been recognized with the GOOD DESIGN ^® Awards for 2022 . The Rheem commercial heat pump water heaters split systems won in the Industrial category and the Commercial Renaissance™ Packaged HVAC Units ( 15 to 25 tons ) earned recognition in the Building Materials category . The Good Design Awards were created 75 years ago to generate awareness about contemporary design and honor the most cutting-edge products in design and manufacturing around the world . Each winning entry has set a new direction for innovation and pushed the envelope for competitive products in the world marketplace .

Hexagon releases PV Elite

Rheem ’ s Commercial Renaissance™ HVAC line was designed to deliver powerful performance in packaged units that are specifically engineered for easier installation and service . Rheem commercial heat pump water heater split systems work much like an efficient refrigerator in reverse . The heat pump extracts heat from warm air , intensifies it with a compressor , delivers the heat to the water via a heat exchanger , and exhausts the cooler air . Since it uses ambient air temperature to do the work , the heat pump is an incredibly energy efficient way to heat water , minimizing carbon emissions and reducing environmental impact .

Clean tech company , Futraheat , has developed a high-temperature heat pump , which it is trialling at a Sussex-based brewery following a GBP 406k cash injection by BEIS . The London-based start-up company has developed the ground-breaking heat pump known as Greensteam which can help industrial users recycle heat and radically reduce fuel use delivering energy reductions of up to 90 %. Futraheat has partnered with manufacturing integration specialists Projective and Sussexbased Hepworth Brewery to secure the GBP 406k in phase 3 funding from the BEIS Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator ( IEEA ) competition to install and trial their heat pump prototype at the brewery . The IEEA is funded through the

Net Zero Innovation Portfolio and is managed by the Carbon Trust with support from Jacobs and Innovate UK KTN . Futraheat ’ s modular , Greensteam heat pump uses a new type of patented turbo compressor , known as TurboClaw ^® , which cost-effectively recovers low-grade waste heat a byproduct of many industrial processes and boosts it up to 150 ° C , where it can be successfully reused onsite . The brewery currently uses a standard oil boiler for its process heat . Replacing it with Futraheat ’ s high-temperature heat pump is expected to reduce energy consumption by up to 90 %, provide fuel cost savings of up to 40 % and reduce carbon emissions by up to 100 % when the heat pump is powered by renewable energy .

Hexagon ’ s Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division has announced the availability of a new version of PV Elite , its complete software solution for vessel and heat exchanger design , analysis , and evaluation . Since its launch three decades ago , PV Elite has helped users have confidently design equipment for the most extreme uses . The new version provides them with expanded capabilities for unparalleled safety . Specifically , this latest release incorporates all the tools necessary to perform a broad range of vessel analysis and boundary-defining data inputs , enabling engineers to efficiently design and quickly comprehend results that ensure safety .

It includes : EN 13445 code enhancements , such as simplified fatigue analysis , creep design , and blast loads for horizontal vessels ; Rectangular vessel analysis for all supported codes ; North American wind and seismic code updates ; and Material Database user experience enhancements . This version of PV Elite also includes user experience enhancements , making it easy to learn , start-up and use for new and experienced engineers alike . It streamlines data entry by breaking input into sensible subsets , while analysis may be done in one pass over the entire pressure vessel model or on individual components ( such as shells , nozzles , flanges , etc .).
