Bio-Pharmaceutical
Complete heat and control solutions for the bio-pharmaceutical
industry
Chromalox is a leader in designed systems because we control
the manufacturing process from the first component to the finished
product. While some companies simply assemble purchased parts,
our vertical integration of product manufacturing allows tight
control of all procedures. Because Chromalox manufactures the
component parts, we can adjust to meet your critical requirements.
Our equipment is used as part of the basic support for:
- Purified gas and air delivery
- Purified water
- Chemical delivery
- Steam and gas injection systems
- Control equipment for monitoring and
logging process temperatures
- Reactor process control
- Fermenter temperature maintenance
Heat Trace and Controls
Heat tracing helps avoid process temperature drops that can
lead to freeze-ups in plant areas like cooling towers, instrumentation
lines, process water, safety showers, fire protection piping,
and condensate piping. Providing temperature stability helps
prevent unacceptable viscosity increases and solidification of
fluids in the lines.
IntelliTRACE Controls
A complete control solution for heat trace applications with
a modular design for selection of only the features needed for
specific heat trace installations, minimizing the purchase price
and simplifying system configuration. Single-channel system using
microprocessor-based control. Comes completely pre-wired and
assembled. Easily programmed standard features further simplifies
installation, start-up, and use. All IntelliTRACE systems are
designed for universal inputs. Each unit comes in a NEMA 4X glass
fiber reinforced enclosure that includes a solidstate relay (30A
at 40°C), mounted on a heatsink, and with a current transformer
to measure operating current. Optional GFI modules have a shutdown
contactor and illuminated reset switch. A terminal block is used
for field connections on all units.
Custom Power Control Panels
Panels engineered with solid-state controls built to the most
rigid standards and sized for virtually any application or specification.
Select from many NEMAtype enclosures, single- or three-phase
load requirements, voltages, transformers, fusing, contactors,
firing cards, and more. We can design the power contro panel
best-suited for your specific application.
Auxiliary Electric Steam Boilers
Chromalox auxiliary steam boilers can be placed anywhere steam
is required and electricity is available. They are ideal for
remote locations where plant steam is not economical, providing
hot water or steam on demand for emergency or maintenance downtime
backup. They are simple to use, operate cleanly, and require
minimal maintenance.
Hazardous Duty Convection and Blower-Type Heaters
Chromalox hazardous duty convection and blower-type heaters
provide comfort, freeze protection, and moisture protection in
areas like switchgear, control rooms, outbuildings, and pump
houses—particularly where the possibility of explosion
or fire exists. Ruggedly designed Chromalox convection and blower-type
heaters are UL-listed and CSA- and MSHA-certified. Models are
available for wall or ceiling mounting.
Large Tank Heaters
Chromalox large tank heaters provide cost-efficient heating
of stored viscous materials by precisely sequencing operation
to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates. They require
very little upkeep and maintenance. That helps reduce both labor
cost and the time and material costs of inefficient heating.
Flanged Immersion Heaters
Flanged immersion heaters provide virtually 100 percent energy
efficiency for the heating of large oil tanks. Their bayonet
styling provides high watt densities, and available temperature
control options permit extremely tight process temperature tolerances.
Flexible Tank Heaters
Chromalox flexible tank heaters are ideal for underground tanks
or units without side entry. They spread heat evenly in tanks
made from steel, concrete, or Fiberglas®, preventing hot
spots and carbonization. They also allow for tank system operation
with little or no manual attention, and using them enables maintenance
work to be done without draining the tanks.
Unitary Large Tank Heaters
Chromalox unitary large tank heaters offer low watt density
heating over large heated surfaces with precise temperature control.
They are self-contained, can be maintained with little or no
manual attention, and eliminate the need to drain tanks. Designed
for work under tight space constraints, some models require only
three feet of space for installation or removal. And local control
panels, complete with weatherproof enclosures, help prevent overtemperature
operation and damage from power surges.
Circulation Heaters
Chromalox circulation heaters afford high energy efficiency,
fast heating, and uniform heat distribution for numerous petrochemical
plants heating applications such as H2-rich and Claus gas heating,
desulphurization, and air and flue-gas heating. They also provide
high turndown capability, tight outlet temperature control, and
variable flow rates.
Steam Superheaters
Chromalox circulation heaters also superheat steam, either for
higher process temperatures or to clean the steam itself. Our
smaller units also help make up line losses during transportation
from central steam generation systems. High watt densities and
operating temperatures are obtainable with Chromalox steam superheaters,
thanks to the high quality of their INCOLOY® flanges and
ASME-certified, carbon steel sheathes.
Catalyst Regeneration
Chromalox prewired, skid-mounted circulation heat systems provide
high performance for the burning, reduction gas, and calcination
gas heaters inside catalyst regeneration units. Flanged immersion
elements provide superior strength and rigidity, and can be easily
removed for cleaning and inspection. Heater vessels come in an
array of sizes and meet virtually any kilowatt or corrsion resistance
requirement. And their metal skid mounts, with vessel and control
panel securely attached to the frame supports, enable easy handling.
