Axens signs contract with Shell Deutschland GmbH to supply industrial scale electrical tubular heater based on its Heurtey Petrochem Solutions technology

While Shell Deutschland GmbH had earlier this year announced its Final Investment Decision (FID) to repurpose its European Shell Energy & Chemicals Park Rheinland in Wesseling, Axens’ Heurtey Petrochem Solutions, a global leader in process furnaces, will contribute to the site’s plan for electrification by providing its unique electrical tubular radiant heater solution.

Heurtey Petrochem Solutions’ Electrical Tubular Heater operates without direct emissions to the atmosphere, neither CO₂ nor NO_x, providing an alternative to traditional process fired heaters. Based on a fine tuning of the heat flux density, the electrical tubular Heater is designed to operate in very demanding process conditions and to a scale and standards adapted to industry present demand while benefiting from Heurtey Petrochem Solutions experience including references of electrical tubular heaters since the late 1990s.

In a global context of industry decarbonisation, Axens and Heurtey Petrochem Solutions provides support to a wide range of industrial actors to lower the carbon footprint of their installations, either for grass-root units or for existing assets.

Hervé Lavieu, Axens’ Heurtey Petrochem Solutions’ Vice-President Furnaces Product Line, said: "We are honoured that our solution fits with Shell project objectives while lowering CO₂ emissions and reducing carbon footprint. Thanks to its proven technology, our electrical tubular heater is ready to answer to the new challenges met by our clients in their decarbonisation journey. Axens’ Heurtey Petrochem Solutions demonstrates its ability to act proactively for the energy transition at industrial level, with a solution tailored to meet a wide variety of customer plant typologies."
