Industries We Serve in the South Central US
Asphalt Production
Asphalt plants across Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas rely on stable thermal control for bitumen heating and aggregate drying. Our custom shell and tube units deliver consistent performance under high temperatures and abrasive operating conditions.
Food & Beverage
From Arkansas poultry processing to Texas beverage plants, the food sector needs sanitary, corrosion-resistant thermal solutions. Our stainless-steel exchangers support precise temperature control and high-volume production environments.
HVAC & Building Infrastructure
Hospitals, schools, and commercial buildings across the region require dependable thermal equipment. We provide tube bundle replacements and custom heat exchangers built for long-term performance in mission-critical HVAC systems.
Manufacturing & Industrial
Industrial plants across Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas rely on thermal systems to support plastics, metals, chemicals, and general processing. We design custom exchangers built to handle diverse fluids, high pressures, and continuous operation.
Marine & Offshore
Gulf Coast ports and offshore operations require exchangers that resist saltwater, vibration, and round-the-clock service. We supply copper-nickel and marine-alloy designs built for durability in harsh coastal conditions.
Oil & Gas Industries
From upstream production in the Permian to downstream refining in Louisiana, the region’s energy sector needs exchangers built for extreme temperatures, pressures, and nonstop operation. We deliver custom units engineered for demanding oil and gas applications.
Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology
Biotech and pharma facilities in Arkansas and North Texas depend on clean, consistent thermal control. Our stainless, sanitary-grade exchangers support regulated environments requiring precision and reliability.
Petrochemical & Chemical Processing
The Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana Chemical Corridor demand equipment that withstands aggressive media and high pressures. Our engineered heat exchangers and bundle replacements support safe, efficient operation in corrosive and high-duty environments.
Power Generation & Utilities
Power facilities throughout the South Central region depend on reliable heat transfer for cooling systems, turbine support, and process stability. We supply high-efficiency exchangers engineered for continuous, high-load operation.

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.
