Replacing fluid that has reached the end of its life with the same brand or a different brand requires an important decision – how much time and money do you want to spend performing this task?...

An annual fluid analysis is the most effective way to determine if your heat transfer fluid is degrading. The analysis should include an Acid Number to measure oxidation and a Distillation Range (or...

Controlling the temperature of a process heated by thermal fluids is theoretically simple­­— increase the heater outlet temperature (on singleuser systems) and/or adjust the thermal...

Oxidation is the leading cause (>95%) of all thermal fluid replacement recommendations. Chemically, oxidation is the reaction of hot thermal fluid with air (oxygen) that produces acids. These acids...

Replacing steam in a broad range of process applications, thermal fluid systems provide precise, uniform temperature control leading to increased production and product quality, low maintenance, human...

Routine fluid analysis is a critical part of any preventive maintenance program. Not only do the results indicate what condition the fluid is in, they also provide an early warning of system or...

A growing number of natural gas processing facilities are utilising thermal fluid heating systems throughout various stages of the gas treatment process. Thermal fluids, also commonly known as heat...

Thermal fluids have proven exceptionally safe in a wide range of industries. However, it is difficult to completely prevent fires in these systems because the necessary ingredients for a...
