Announcing the Launch of a New Glass-Lined Heat Exchanger from Standard Glass Lining Technology

The Standard Group of Companies is proud to announce the launch of a new glass-lined heat exchanger, developed and manufactured by Standard Glass Lining Technology. Designed to meet the growing industry demand for clean, corrosion-resistant and high-efficiency thermal equipment, this new solution reflects our commitment to precision engineering and long-term value.

Built for environments where hygiene, safety and temperature control are critical, this heat exchanger combines innovative materials with engineering integrity to offer superior thermal performance without compromising product purity.

A Design Focused on Integrity and Clean Operation

In corrosive or contamination-sensitive applications, equipment must perform flawlessly under pressure. Unlike conventional exchangers, this new unit is built with a complete glass-lining on all internal surfaces that come in contact with process fluids.

Key features include:

  • A mono-block design, with tubes fully welded to the tube sheets to prevent leaks and maintain structural rigidity
  • Glass-lining across both shell and tube sides, delivering a smooth, inert surface that resists fouling and contamination
  • Vertical or horizontal installation capability, allowing greater flexibility in plant layout and system integration
  • Thorough quality control, including hydraulic and pinhole testing, to ensure safe and reliable operation from day one

Reliable Performance Across Demanding Conditions

The new glass-lined heat exchanger is engineered for performance in high-temperature and high-pressure environments. With robust mechanical and thermal design, it supports a broad range of process conditions.

Technical specifications include:

  • Operating Pressure: Up to 6 kg/cm² on both shell and tube sides
  • Maximum Operating Temperature: 180°C
  • Thermal Shock Resistance: Up to 100°C differential on the shell and 80°C on the tube side
  • Heat Transfer Coefficient: 150 to 350 kcal/m² h°C (or 170 to 400 W/m² K)
  • Safety Compliance: Each unit undergoes a 10,000V electric insulation test

This performance profile makes it ideally suited for processes involving thermal cycling, aggressive chemicals or solvent-rich environments.

Tailored for Process Versatility

From chemical and pharmaceutical plants to life sciences and specialty food production, the glass-lined heat exchanger is designed to adapt to a wide range of thermal processes, such as:

  • Condensation of vapours in recovery systems
  • Evaporation in solvent reduction or concentration
  • Heating of corrosive or volatile liquids
  • Cooling of sterile or high-purity process streams

These applications demand purity, consistency and thermal accuracy—all strengths of this newly launched model.

Beyond Performance: Operational Benefits for Modern Facilities

What truly sets this product apart is its contribution to overall plant efficiency and cleanliness:

  • Non-porous glass surfaces eliminate the risk of particle shedding or product contamination
  • Smooth internal linings prevent scale build-up and resist fouling, simplifying maintenance
  • Space-saving design suits compact installations
  • Optional configurations, including polymer variants and davit-mount inspection access, support a range of operational needs

Each heat exchanger can be tailored based on process compatibility, inspection preferences and plant infrastructure.

Comprehensive Model Range for Scalable Integration

To serve a wide variety of industries and plant sizes, the heat exchanger is available in both SHEH and STV series, with key specifications including:

  • Heat transfer surface areas from 1 m² to 60 m²
  • Tube counts up to 216 for increased throughput
  • Vapour and jacket volume options to suit heat transfer demands
  • Unit weights ranging from 600 kg to over 4,000 kg, allowing for both mobile and permanent setups

This modular range supports scalability, whether for pilot plants or large-scale continuous operations.

Engineered for Long-Term Assurance

True to the Standard Group’s reputation, every unit is manufactured under strict quality protocols. Each heat exchanger undergoes:

  • Hydraulic and pressure testing
  • Pinhole and enamel coating integrity checks
  • Dimensional and mechanical fit assessments
  • Documentation packages, including certificates of compliance, inspection reports and material traceability

These quality measures ensure the equipment not only meets technical standards but is also audit-ready for regulatory compliance.

Setting the Standard in Process Equipment Excellence

As part of the Standard Group of Companies, Standard Glass Lining Technology continues to lead with advanced materials and dependable performance.
