The plant produced PET and PTA. Depending on the types of resins being made, the plant requires precise, programmable heating that can vary. In addition, the temperatures must be precise because if too cool, the resins will congeal and cause the piping and valves to become clogged and damaged. Likewise, if the temperature is too hot, chemical reactions occur that destroy the production of the type of resin being manufactured. - Chromalox engineers developed a solution that maintains accurate production temperatures of pipes and factory equipment used in PET and PTA production of polyester resins. This Chromalox temperature management system reduced both operational and installation costs.
