Refining

Refining processes utilize a wide range of temperatures, depending on process stream composition, system pressure, use of vacuum distillation equipment, etc. For organic separations at high temperatures > 100°C (> 212°F), it is also important to avoid the consequences of water leakage into the process side of operations. The thermally stable synthetic organic chemistries of Eastman Therminol® heat transfer fluids ensure high reliability and on-stream time for heating of fractionation unit reboilers as well as cooling of overhead condensers where water must be avoided. Additionally, the many energy-intensive operations in refinery units offer opportunities for innovative energy integration.

Therminol 66 Heat Transfer Fluid
Therminol 66 Heat Transfer Fluid

Therminol 66 is the world’s most popular high temperature, liquid-phase heat transfer fluid. Therminol 66 is pumpable at low temperatures, and offers high-temperature thermal stability.

Therminol 68 Heat Transfer Fluid
Therminol 68 Heat Transfer Fluid

Therminol 68 is a high temperature liquid phase heat transfer fluid with excellent thermal stability. Therminol 68 was developed for use at temperatures up to 360° C (680°F) in liquid phase heat transfer fluid systems. Therminol 68 has a boiling point of 308°C (586°F), but static pressure of about 2 bar should maintain the liquid phase at high temperatures.
