Our ambition: to guarantee the best economical solution for the best efficiency

As HTRI members, our engineers attend training sessions every year to improve their software practice and strengthen their theoretical knowledge.

  • Use of VMG databank, simulation of mixtures
  • Vibration analysis
  • Condensers, top column, mixed gas
  • Kettle & thermosiphon reboilers

While being sophisticated, the usual thermal design software does not provide an optimized and safe mechanical design…

Cap Engineering has decided to get as complementary tools:

  • PV Elite to drive the mechanical design of shell and tube heat exchangers according to ASME or EN13445 codes.
  • In-house tools developed from Roark’s formulas to secure the design of cubic bloc technologies.
