Shell and Tube Heat
Exchanger Inspections
Project Overview
Engineering Design Services has successfully completed numerous shell and tube heat exchanger inspection projects for refineries and industrial facilities across the United States. Our team supports clients in evaluating critical heat transfer equipment to ensure performance, reliability, and long-term asset integrity while minimizing downtime and operational disruption.
EDS combines field expertise with advanced inspection technologies to assess both the shell and tube sides of heat exchangers. Our engineers and inspection specialists evaluate internal and external components, identifying fouling, corrosion, erosion, and mechanical degradation that can impact efficiency and safety.
Beyond standard inspections, our approach incorporates a range of diagnostic and data collection methods tailored to each facility’s needs. This allows us to deliver actionable insights that support maintenance planning, turnaround scheduling, and overall system optimization.
