Axens and ZPJE establish joint venture

Energy efficiency improvement is a significant contributor to the achievement of the Paris Agreement objectives. Nectis aims at contributing to this effort in promoting the application of spiral tube heat exchangers (STHE) to unlock heat integration opportunities in demanding process services. Zhenhai Petrochemical Jianan Engineering Co. Ltd (ZPJE), a designer and manufacturer of STHE, and Axens, a technology, products, equipment and services provider, have joined forces in establishing Nectis, a French-based company, targeting the promotion and sales of STHE to the process industry outside of China.

Axens and ZPJE started their cooperation in 2015 in the frame of worldscale crude to chemicals projects in China. The reliability and performance observed in industrial units inside and outside of China has led to the establishment of Nectis, aiming at the promotion and sale of STHE outside of China, and supporting the process industry at large in its effort to reduce its carbon footprint.

ZPJE has developed a unique expertise in applying STHEs to refining, petrochemicals and gas processing industries. STHEs have a proven ability to handle heavy or fouling refinery streams, opening up a wide array of energy efficiency opportunities for new process units, as well as existing assets.
