Getting Started with Electrification
As any engineer will understand, getting started with an electrification project is not as simple as swapping out a gas-fired process for an electric one. This white paper will help you get started.
White Paper Reducing Risk: Data Insights
Process is essential in hydrocarbon processing, with a trend towards electric heaters for precise control. WATCONNECT® control panels, especially the L and XL panels, are designed for industrial applications like petrochemicals and other applications. The integrated Data Insights package monitors power, controller health, and system changes, addressing issues like coking, fouling, heater failure, and downtime, and supports electrification and decarbonization.
Watlow´s Glossary for Comprehensive Industrial Decarbonization Terms
“Fossil fuels are a dead end,” according to U.N. Chief António Guterres, requesting an urgent transition to renewable energy. Industrial organizations can push decarbonization forward by shifting process heater systems from fossil fuel-burning to electric. A crucial step towards a carbon-neutral future is grasping the terminology, concepts and renewable energy solutions necessary to achieve it.
White Paper: Meeting Tighter Emissions Limits While Improving Diesel Engine Efficiency
New environmental legislation has created an engineering challenge for heavy-duty diesel engines.CO2 and NOx emissions must fall below stricter standards; at the same time greater engine efficiency has resulted in a corresponding loss of exhaust gas temperature, leading to lower catalytic activity. This is particularly concerning when it comes to NOx emissions for Cold Start and Low Load Cycles, as there is a lot of thermal inertia in the aftertreatment system.
White Paper: Electrification and Medium Voltage Process Heater Systems
Decarbonization efforts worldwide,led both by industry leaders and legislation, have increased efforts to shift fossil fuel use to renewables. One way many industrial o industrial organizations can embrace this- and already have- is by shifting process heaters systems from fuel-burning to electric.
Electric Heater Selection for an Existing Problem
Heating applications vary greatly in the industrial sector. But what happens when you are faced with finding the right heater for an existing challenge, or you need to replace a heater that was not an optimal fit for your current system?. The first step when considering a heater for an existing problem is a step back. Assess the big picture regarding your application and system needs, then you can begin to focus on a few crucial elements that will lead you to the ideal heating solution.
WHITE PAPER: A Fresh Look at Accelerating Electrification and the Role that Thermal Plays
The goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement are now playing out, with companies and governments making drastic changes to hit its ambitious targets. Explore how innovative technologies have solved many challenges by implementing electric process heating.
WHITE PAPER: "Greening" Industry Through Innovative Process and Environmental Technologies

WHITE PAPER: Reducing Heater Fouling in a Bisphenol A (BPA) Application Using HELIMAX™
By using HELIMX™ circulation heaters in its BPA processing, a manufacturer was able to widen its maintenance window by two to three times what it traditionally has been, saving both time and money. Read more
WHITE PAPER: Decarbonization, Electrification and the Case for Modern Electric Process Heaters
Companies in liquified natural gas (LNG) and other industries have been taking bold steps to reduce their carbon footprint. The overall strategy of these companies is to tackle carbon emissions not only through alternative energy investment and increased efficiency, but also through converting key industrial processes (like process heating) to electric (rather than fuel-fired). This paper explores pressures to electrify process heating, as well as the role that electric heat exchangers are playing, particularly in light of innovations in the design of these heaters.
