Process coilsEngineering, fabrication and supply of process coils for heaters and furnaces based on service, heat duty and design life.

Purpose
Arrangement and integration
The diagram identifies the principal process duties, equipment connections and product handover points. Final scope, redundancy and battery limits are established from project data.
A typical equipment arrangement is shown. Final execution, redundancy and valve scope are established during engineering.
Engineering basis
Final ratings, materials and supply scope are established from project-specific operating data.
