Supercharge Your Thermal Efficiency
We combine breakthrough science in Nanotechnology, AI, and Robotics to produce a step change in heat transfer operational efficiency.
Delivering value to Power Producers, Refineries, and Heavy Industry around the Globe.
HeatX Nanotechnology
HeatX is nano-structured surface treatment technology that enables heat transfer surfaces to effectively repel fouling and protect against corrosion while maintaining thermal transfer properties.
-
Improves heat transfer performance efficiency by repelling fouling and mitigating corrosion
-
Greatly extends typical maintenance intervals, reducing operational costs and downtime
-
Maximizes exchanger performance, reducing your carbon footprint and maximizing output
AI-Driven Robotic Application System
HeatX utilizes AI-driven Automation for surface preparation, application, quality control, and data collection to give end users information on the quality of each tube and the confidence that each tube is treated with the highest quality at scale.
-
Enhanced speed and quality using computer vision AI to map heat exchanger layouts, streamline inspection, cleaning, and application.
-
Robotic system automates the manual process of cleaning and enhances HSE by removing the human from high-risk operations.
-
Highly scalable and modularized system enables rapid deployment onto a customer’s site or remote location.
Refineries
Italian energy firm Eni S.p.A. and Oceanit presented the results of a collaborative HeatX pilot program at ADIPEC 2021, which demonstrated HeatX's ability to reduce annual emissions from the Eni S.p.A. Alaska Nikaitchuq upstream facility by 17,000 tons of CO2 annually.
-
HeatX demonstrated a 97% reduction of fouling at a refinery comparing a HeatX-treated unit with an untreated control unit.
-
HeatX reduced the corrosion rate by more than 36x while also completely arresting the formation of corrosion pitting, tube fouling, and erosion of the tube interior.
Power Plants
A majority of electricity production in the U.S. and world is generated from thermal power plants which produce electricity by using heat (burning fossil fuels such as natural gas, oil, coal, biomass, etc.) to turn water to steam which, in turn, drives turbines to produce electricity.
-
HeatX saved Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) an estimated $1.5 million in replacement energy generation over 5 years per heat exchanger, and extended heat exchanger service frequency 10x from 6 months to 60 months.
-
Learn how HeatX can reduce emissions and improve power generation efficiency at existing power production facilities.
Achieve Your Decarbonization Goals by Improving Heat Exchanger Efficiency
If applied at a global scale, HeatX® can reduce CO2 emissions by an estimated 1.45 billion metric tonnes per year by improving power generation efficiency.
-
29,000 Tons CO2 removed per year: for an average 100 MW coal power plant using HeatX – the equivalent of removing 6,359 passenger vehicles from the road.
-
Drop In Technology: Reduce carbon emissions without changing existing power generation equipment or operations.
-
Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: Use less fuel to generate the same amount of energy output, lowering both consumption costs and CO2 emissions.
