Product
Kettle Reboilers
A kettle reboiler boils liquid from the bottom of a distillation column and sends the vapour back up. Its enlarged shell gives room for vapour to separate cleanly. We have built kettle reboilers for refinery service, including a stainless steel 316L unit for Indian Oil's Mathura Refinery.
Why customers choose it
Two-phase design
Boiling and vapour disengagement checked in HTRI.
ASME stamped
Built under our ASME U authorisation.
Large shells
Eccentric kettle shells rolled in our own shop.
Corrosion-resistant
SS 316L, duplex and nickel alloys for aggressive service.

Questions buyers ask us
Kettle or thermosiphon reboiler?
Kettles are simple and stable and handle wide boiling ranges well; thermosiphons are smaller and cheaper when the duty and hydraulics allow. We will compare both for your column.
Do you ship to the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the rest of the GCC?
Yes. Both our factories are in Coimbatore, about 195 km from Cochin port, with Tuticorin and Chennai also within reach. We pack for sea transport and ship to ports such as Jebel Ali, Khalifa Port, Dammam, Jubail, Sohar, Hamad and Shuwaikh. Our equipment is already in service with ADNOC, PDO Oman, OQ, QAPCO, Kuwait Oil Company and Ma'aden.
Can our inspector or a third-party agency witness the tests?
Of course. We regularly work with Bureau Veritas, Lloyd's Register, TÜV NORD, SGS, HSB and other agencies, and your own inspector is welcome at any stage.
