Engineering and Code Design Collaboration
From concept through fabrication, Apache works closely with customers to ensure seamless integration, minimized startup risk, and maximum uptime throughout the vessel’s operating life.
- Our vessel engineers partner directly with customers to define and optimize:
- Structural design and pressure containment
- Heat transfer analysis and thermal performance
- Material selection and surface finish requirements
- Agitation and internal component performance
- Compliance considerations for present and service code requirements
Heat Exchanger & Reactor Manufacturing Experience
Apache brings significant experience engineering and manufacturing custom heat exchangers and process reactors, built precisely to customer specifications. Our capabilities span a wide range of sizes and applications, including:
- Small‑scale laboratory reactors
- Pilot and mid‑scale production vessels
- Large industrial column reactors up to 200 feet in length
Jacket & Heating/Cooling Options
Conventional Jackets
- Used for high‑volume applications below 50 psi
- Expertise across both large and small custom vessels
Dimple Jackets
- Constructed from 12‑ga and 14‑ga stainless steel
- Proof tested per ASME guidelines
- CNC pre‑formed sheets; MIG and plug welded directly to the vessel shell
- Excellent heat‑transfer efficiency with reduced material weight
Half‑Pipe Jackets
- Optimal strength ratings for demanding service
- Designed for high‑temperature and liquid heat‑transfer applications
- Full‑penetration welds for durability and pressure integrity
Internal Coils
- Used for transient heating or cooling applications
Finishing & Protective Coatings
- Pickle passivation of jackets prior to coating
- Thermalux® 70 high‑temperature industrial protective coating is available for conventional, dimple, and half‑pipe jackets – enhances corrosion resistance and thermal performance
