Case Study: Boosting Asphalt Production with a Custom Heat Exchanger Retrofit

A major asphalt producer needed a thermal performance upgrade to support modern
polymerized asphalt requirements. Their older heat exchanger struggled to reach
efficient operating temperatures, limiting throughput and slowing daily production.

KAM Thermal engineered a custom shell and tube heat exchanger designed to match:

  • Existing saddle spacing
  • Fixed piping layout
  • Required thermal duty
  • Plant footprint with no structural changes

The upgrade was developed through precise remote collaboration, using exchanged
measurements, drawings, and thermal modeling to ensure a perfect fit without
expensive redesign work.

Results & Performance Improvements

The upgraded exchanger increased output temperature by approximately 60°F, allowing the plant to reach nearly 380°F during polymerization and eliminating previous production bottlenecks.

  • Two additional full batches produced per day
  • Improved process startup and thermal efficiency
  • No changes required to foundations, saddles, or piping
  • Seamless integration into the existing system layout

These enhancements delivered higher throughput, better temperature stability, and a more profitable production cycle without major plant downtime.
