Exchanger Industries, Calgary, Alberta, and Curran International Canada ULC, (a subsidiary of Curran International Inc, Houston, Texas), have formed a cooperative agreement to make available protective coating applications of heat exchangers to the Alberta refinery and petrochemical industry. Using its patented application technology for applying foul release thin film coatings, Curran International will provide its value added service at Exchanger Industries plant site (Calgary). In making this coating application available in the province, transportation costs and schedules are minimized as this service is otherwise only available in Houston, Texas.
About Curran International: Curran International is a global leader in the application of heat exchanger tube ID (inner diameter) thin film coatings to inhibit scale and foul accumulation, and provide a barrier to corrosion. High functionality coatings reduce surface roughness of steel >20X, sustaining optimal performance of carbon steel exchangers in cooling water service at refinery and petrochemical operations. This dramatically reduces the need for routine maintenance and cleaning, positively impacting operational efficiency; ROI is recognized through more efficient, longer run times and reduced maintenance costs. Curran developed and patented a method to apply thin-film polymer linings to full-length tube IDs more than 15 years ago. In that time, it has coated thousands of heat exchanger bundles in service at industry leading petroleum and chemical processing operations.
