Since from last May 1st, 2005 is effective the License Agreement with Shell Global Solutions International B.V., Amsterdam, for the manufacturing of EMbaffle® Heat Exchangers, a major innovation designed to offer processing industries the potential to improve performance, cut environmental emissions, and reduce operating and maintenance costs.
The design of EMbaffle employs expanded metal baffles (tube supports) made of plate material that has been slit and expanded. The open structure allows a longitudinal flow pattern and results in lower hydraulic resistance; so that flow induced tube vibration will not occur.

The resulting high performance heat exchanger, when compared to conventional shell and tube segmental designs, offers the following potential benefits:   lower fouling rate lower pressure drop on the shell side elimination of damaging flow-induced tube vibration improved heat transfer capabilities competitive manufacturing costs

Stagnant or 'dead zones' found in traditional segmental baffle heat exchangers, which tend to foul rapidly, are not present. This means that operational running times of production units may be increased. Maintenance, cleaning and refurbishment schedules may then be extended, heat recovery improved and firing of furnaces reduced to help reduce CO2 emissions.
