WHRB in Refinery & Petrochemical Plant

Efficient heat recovery system designed to utilise flue gas energy from FCCU operations in refineries

Submit your enquiry

TBWES offers waste heat recovery boiler (WHRB) downstream of Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU).

These WHRBs capture high-temperature flue gases to generate steam, enhancing overall refinery energy efficiency. Designed to handle catalytic dust, sulphur dew point corrosion, and thermal stresses, the WHRBs improve process integration, reduces fuel consumption, and supports sustainable refinery operations through effective heat utilisation and emissions control.
