Heat Exchangers & Cooling Equipment
Define process duty, fluid properties, inlet and outlet conditions, design pressure and temperature, metallurgy, allowable pressure drop and applicable project standards.
INDUSTRY CONTEXT
Petrochemical Equipment Sourcing & Procurement
Petrochemical procurement is driven by process duty, fluid composition, design pressure and temperature, metallurgy, corrosion requirements, inspection needs and vendor documentation. Multi vendor sourcing must keep technical deviations and commercial scope visible for comparison.

INDUSTRY CONTEXT
Petrochemical Equipment Sourcing & Procurement
Petrochemical sourcing needs a disciplined technical basis because process duty, metallurgy, corrosion allowance, inspection and vendor documentation can materially change whether two offers are genuinely comparable.
SOURCING SCOPE
Equipment & sourcing scope
The sourcing scope may combine heat transfer equipment, compressors, pumps, vessels, valves, analysers, electrical packages, automation and process cooling, with each package defined by the process requirement rather than a generic equipment name.
Process Compressors
Compare gas composition, capacity, suction and discharge conditions, driver, materials, seal requirements, controls, utilities, testing and vendor documentation.
Industrial Pumps
Review flow, differential head, fluid properties, operating temperature, materials, sealing arrangement, driver, applicable standard and inspection requirements.
Pressure Vessels & Receivers
Confirm design pressure and temperature, service fluid, materials, corrosion allowance, nozzle schedule, fabrication code, NDE, inspection and certification requirements.
Industrial Valves
Define valve type, size, pressure class, body and trim materials, end connection, actuation, leakage requirement, applicable standard and test documentation.
Instrumentation & Analysers
Align measurement range, accuracy, wetted materials, process connection, hazardous area classification, signal or protocol, calibration and certification requirements.
Electrical & Automation
Confirm voltage, frequency, load duty, protection, hazardous area requirements, control architecture, interfaces, I/O, communication protocol and documentation.
Process Cooling / Refrigeration
Define cooling duty, temperature levels, refrigerant or secondary fluid, ambient conditions, heat rejection, redundancy, control scope and utility interfaces.
Specialised Engineering Products
Assess the item against the actual drawing, material specification, critical dimensions, duty, quantity, acceptance criteria, certificates and project specific documentation.
RELEVANT ENGINEERING EQUIPMENT
Metalex engineering equipment relevant where industrial refrigeration or process cooling is part of the duty
Equipment examples are illustrative. Final selection depends on the actual duty, specifications, site conditions and approved project scope.
MX Series ammonia compressors for process cooling duties
Compressor selection should be checked against refrigeration duty, temperature levels, capacity, refrigerant, cooling method and the project control requirement.
Metalex product reference ↗MXT / T Series ammonia compressors
Alternative compressor configurations should be reviewed against the operating envelope, staging, driver, utilities, controls and documentation required for the duty.
Metalex product reference ↗Evaporative condensers
Where another compressor series is shown, confirm the same operating basis and compare capacity, temperature range, cooling arrangement and service requirements.
Metalex product reference ↗High and low pressure refrigeration vessels
Condenser selection should follow heat rejection duty, ambient design conditions, water strategy, materials, fan control and site constraints.
Metalex product reference ↗Valves, level indication and purgers
Pressure vessel selection should follow system duty, design pressure and temperature, materials, nozzle arrangement, inspection and documentation requirements.
Metalex product reference ↗Refrigerant pumps and circulation equipment
Valves, level devices and purgers should be matched to refrigerant service, pressure class, materials, connection standard and control philosophy.
Metalex product reference ↗Sensors, controls and automation
Refrigerant pumps and circulation equipment should be evaluated against circulation rate, head, refrigerant, operating temperature, motor arrangement and control scope.

FAQ
Common procurement questions
What information should I send for a Petrochemical equipment sourcing enquiry?
Send the RFQ or specification where available, plus duty conditions, materials, quantity, project location, required documentation, inspection scope and target delivery. If the exact equipment is not known, send the process or application requirement.
Can One Metalex source equipment that is not shown on the website?
Yes. The equipment lists are examples of sourcing capability, not a closed catalogue. A drawing, datasheet or technical brief is enough to start the discussion.
How are suppliers compared?
The comparison should cover technical compliance, deviations, documentation, commercial terms, delivery, inspection requirements and the project specific factors defined in the RFQ.
Does One Metalex only supply Metalex refrigeration equipment?
No. One Metalex is an international sourcing and procurement proposition. Metalex refrigeration equipment is shown where it is genuinely relevant to an industrial cooling or process cooling duty; other industrial equipment is sourced according to the requirement.
Can the enquiry include multiple equipment packages?
Yes. Multi vendor requirements can be coordinated under one requirement structure, which is particularly useful for EPC and industrial plant procurement.
