RODbaffle® heat exchangers improve operational reliability by protecting against flow-induced tube vibration while reducing pressure loss, limiting fouling deposition and increasing bundle rigidity. The concept originated as a practical solution to vibration-related exchanger failures, using rods between tube rows to support and stabilise the bundle. Therco Serck has applied this technology to ASME VIII HF…

Large, complex air-cooled equipment demands coordination across a specialised supply chain. This multi-bay Main Fractionator Overhead Condenser combined 12-metre Therco Serck finned tube bundles with Geha fan rings and bridges, 3.3-metre Moore fans and ABB motors. The low-noise fans incorporated anti-windmilling devices, ATEX-certified tips and root seals, while the motors were specified for Zone 2…

This 45-tonne chrome molybdenum methylation reactor was designed, manufactured, heat treated and extensively examined by Therco Serck in Sheffield. The vertically mounted tubular packed-bed reactor converts a gas mixture to o-Cresol through an exothermic catalytic reaction. Iron oxide catalyst pellets are contained within approximately 2,900 tubes, with shell-side oil providing critical temperature control. The design…

Therco Serck designs and manufactures compressor intercoolers for long-duration energy storage applications. As energy infrastructure continues to evolve, reliable thermal management remains essential to system performance, efficiency and availability.

Therco Serck completed high-integrity modifications to eight duplex stainless steel high-pressure gas cooler bundles for a southern North Sea gas platform. The work included preparation for pressure testing at approximately 200 bar(g), reflecting the technical discipline, safety focus and attention to detail required for offshore service.
