F.A.T.I. srl
 Electric  Heat Exchangers



 
F.A.T.I. srl are manufacturers of high integrity electric heaters designed to meet the requirements of customers specifications and applicable national/international standards. The majority our process heaters are supplied to the Petroleum, Petro-Chemical and Industrial Gas applications and are currently installed all over the world.

Process Application Heaters are installed and operating successfully with a variety of process fluids. Tipically:
  • Diathermic Oil and Liquid Hydrocarbons
  • Sweet and Demineralised Water heating
  • Various process gas streams
  • Air and Nitrogen
  • Acid gas in sulphur recovery units
Supply scope The scope of our supply can be limited to the provision of the heater bundle only or extended to cover a complete process heating system including process design, pressure containment vessels and associated control and safety systems required.

Heating Elements F.A.T.I. manufacture a comprehensive range of heating elements comprising high quality 80/20 Nickel Chrome resistance wire held centrally within a metal sheat and insulated using compacted magnesium Oxide. The standard outer sheath material is costructed using "seamless" s.s which provides suitable corrosion resistance for the majority of applications. Other sheat materials of construction are available and are regularly supplied to meet specific process or corrosion requirements. Typically:
  • Alloy 600
  • Stainless Steel 304
  • Stainless Steel 316
  • Stainless Steel 321
  • Copper
  • Titanium
  • Hastelloy
  • Ceramic, Pirex, Teflon, Quarz, Plomb
Terminal Enclosures A wide range of terminal enclosures are available from general purpose to flameproof standards

Control systems  
  • General Purpose IP42 standard
  • Weatherproof IP55/65/66/67 according to EN60529 standards
  • Flameproof according to CENELEC standards and ATEX directive

Pressure Vessels The pressure containment vessels can be provided to meet customer specifications and the majority of international standards. Typically:

Control systems


  • PED
  • A.S.M.E. Section VIII for unfired fusion welded pressure vessels
  • B.S. 5500
  • Stoomvesen Regels
  • V S R (I.S.P.E.S.L.)
  • A.S. 1210
  • A.D. Merkblatter
  • Other codes, subject to confirmation


Controls Control and protection systems can be supplied to ensure maintenance of the required process parameters and operational safety of the equipment. Control of the exit temperatures can be achieved by various methods including on/off type, by step control or by thyristor dependant on the process requirements.
Heater Design To enable preparation of an accurate process design and commercial proposal the following data should provided.
F.A.T.I. can also supply control boards and cabinets with type of protection Ex p, for installation in hazardous locations, certified according to CENELEC standards and atex directive.
  • Process fluid (chemical/physical characteristics)
  • Normal Flowrate (max/min rates)
  • Operating pressure
  • Allowable pressure loss
  • Inlet temperature (min)
  • Outlet temperature (max)
  • Mechanical design pressure/temperature
  • Area classification (if in hazardous location)
  • Climatic conditions
  • Process terminal sizes
  • Materials of construction *
  • Over temperature protection *
  • Certification requirements
  • Terms and conditions
*In the absence of this data F.A.T.I. will provide recommended scope
