The petrochemical industry runs on high temperatures, corrosive fluids, and 24/7 uptime. Since 1906, KAM Thermal Equipment has designed custom shell and tube heat exchangers to meet the extreme chemical demands of processing plants and refineries. We understand what leads to system failure — and we engineer every unit to prevent it.
The real question is – what can’t they withstand?
Every unit is built from scratch to withstand corrosive fluids, pressure swings, and reactive chemical media. We optimize for thermal reliability, corrosion resistance, uptime, and operator safety.
In petrochemical applications, we rely on specialty alloys like Inconel, Hastelloy, duplex stainless steel, and titanium to combat acidic compounds, chlorides, and high-temperature oxidation — because failure is never an option in corrosive service.
Every petrochemical unit we build is certified to ASME Section VIII, Division 1 and meets TEMA R standards for rugged, high-performance service. We provide hydrostatic, dye-penetrant, and radiographic testing to ensure safety in corrosive, high-pressure environments.
Chemical plants are complex — our heat exchangers are designed to match your existing layout, nozzle orientation, and process flow without requiring system redesign.

We’ve supported chemical producers, process engineers, and EPC firms with high-performance heat exchangers — applying over a century of insight to every custom build.
Our exchangers are built to withstand corrosive chemicals, extreme temperatures, and pressure swings — performing reliably in harsh reactor loops and volatile plant environments.
In chemical plants, delays can halt entire process lines. Our responsive team delivers custom exchangers fast — minimizing disruption and keeping production flowing.
All exchangers are manufactured in our U.S. facility with full traceability and QA documentation to meet chemical plant compliance and inspection standards.
Don’t settle for generic thermal equipment in a high-risk chemical environment. We understand the pressures, corrosion, and process demands you face — and we build exchangers that handle them all.
