How our Leading Industrial Heater in India Helped a Chemical Plant Cut Costs and Boost Efficiency

At DHE Heaters, we do more than sell products. We provide solutions.

Being one of India’s best industrial heater manufacturers, we were approached by a well-known chemical plant with vital heating inefficiency issues. By combining our customized solution and expertise in creating the best industrial heaters in the market, we assisted the customer with temperature accuracy, energy efficiency, and continuous production.

The Challenge: Inconsistencies in Heating Affecting Performance

A major Gujarat chemical processing facility faced production losses and increased operating expenses. Their solvent evaporation unit, which plays a pivotal role in product blending, experienced inconsistent heating. The problems arose from aging heaters that were not highly controlled and could not effectively maintain temperature consistency in batches.

Pain Points:

  • Temperature fluctuation results in variable product quality
  • Excessive energy consumption owing to ineffective heat distribution
  • Constant downtime and delayed maintenance
  • Lack of integration with current automation systems

Even after several rounds of maintenance and hardware replacement, the issue remained unresolved, impacting both productivity and process stability. It became clear that incremental fixes were no longer enough, and a smarter, future-ready heating system was needed. 

One of the client’s senior technicians shared, “We’ve tried multiple repairs, but the problems just kept coming back.”

With industrial heating technology evolving rapidly, staying updated on the latest innovations can make all the difference. That’s why we’ve highlighted key developments in our blog: 5 Industrial Heater Trends That Are Revolutionizing the Industry.

The DHE Heaters Solution: Engineered-to-Order Solutions

With a focus on being one of the most reliable industrial heater suppliers in India, DHE Heaters tackled the challenge with a consultative approach. We began with an in-depth process analysis at the customer’s site, considering operational parameters, heating medium compatibility, material exposure, and available controls.

Our on-site engineers immediately noted critical points that others had overlooked.

Critical Observations:

  • The process needed accurate temperature control with ±1°C
  • Severe chemical exposure calls for corrosion-resistant materials
  • The PLC system of the plant required smooth integration
  • Optimized watt density was essential to prevent thermal degradation

Our engineers suggested a custom tubular immersion heater system with digital control capabilities from this analysis. 

The Solution: Tubular Immersion Heater System with PID Control

DHE developed and supplied a completely bespoke immersion heater solution, specifically designed to the client’s requirements:

Key Features:

  • Incoloy Sheathed Tubular Heaters: To promote greater corrosion resistance
  • Digital PID Controllers: To ensure accurate temperature control
  • PLC Integration: Provided real-time process monitoring
  • Safety Mechanisms: Auto-shut-off and overheat protection mechanisms
  • Optimized Watt Density: Lower energy waste and enhanced thermal efficiency

We worked closely with the client to ensure minimal downtime during the upgrade.  To know more about our diverse range of top industrial heaters in India, you can go through our product catalogue

The Outcome: Superior Results

In the first 60 days of deployment, the client achieved quantifiable gains:

 

Results:

  • Temperature Accuracy: Retained within ±1°C, no quality issues
  • Energy Savings: Cut consumption by 18% month-on-month
  • Improved Uptime: No downtime resulting from heating since installation
  • Production Output: Boosted output by 12% with smooth operations.

 

How the Chemical Plant Benefitted from DHE Heaters

After implementing DHE’s custom tubular immersion heater system, the chemical plant began seeing measurable improvements—not just in heating consistency, but across their operations and bottom line.

1. Energy Cost Savings

The new system delivered more uniform heat with optimized watt density, reducing energy wastage.
Result: A consistent 18% drop in monthly electricity usage, saving the plant approximately ₹55,000 to ₹60,000 every month.

2. Improved Temperature Control

With PID controllers and precise thermal calibration, the heating process maintained a deviation of just ±1°C.
Impact: Better temperature stability led to consistent product quality and fewer batch adjustments.

3. Lower Rejection Rate

Before the upgrade, frequent temperature swings caused inconsistent blending and solvent evaporation, leading to rejected batches.
After Installation: Rejections dropped from 8% to under 1%, saving ₹6–8 lakhs per month in lost materials and rework time.

4. Reduced Downtime

The previous system often needed urgent repairs due to overheating and uneven performance. DHE’s system, with safety controls and robust materials, operated seamlessly.
Outcome: Zero heating-related downtime in the first 60 days of operation.

5. Higher Output Without More Manpower

With stable performance and fewer disruptions, the plant could complete more batches during regular shifts.
Boost: A 12% increase in monthly output, achieved without adding work hours or additional staff.
