Refinery Services

FBM Hudson Italiana are a leading company in design and manufacturing high pressure and high temperature shell & tubes heat exchangers for the above mentioned fields.

FBM Hudson Italiana products range includes, among others, conventional bolted-in with welded diaphragm exchangers and also more sophisticated threaded and lock-ring closures

Threaded type heat exchanger, named also Breech Lock Type HE, is a design and operational option to the conventional bolted closures and feature the following advantages:

• Reduction of criticality of large bolted joints and lighter overall exchanger weight due to thinner channels

• Faster opening and closure of the exchanger cover

• No flames due to cutting or welding during maintenance of the exchanger

• Re-setting of gasket seating in operation
