Vahterus’ LNG journey began in 2005. Through extensive R&D work and with over 300 heat exchangers delivered to cryogenic LNG applications, we’re now leaders in the field.

Low temperatures and widely varying temperature differences in cryogenic applications can cause high stresses to the constructions. Practical testing of constructions is often complicated and time consuming, which is why modelling and simulation tools have become an important part of the development process.

Read the case about Vahterus Ring, a game-changer in ski tunnel technology located in Uusikaupunki, Finland. Unveiling a pioneering approach to energy optimization, this 1 km tunnel utilizes natural refrigeration powered by carbon dioxide, with independently adjustable units ensuring precise temperature management. Its innovative design not only guarantees a reliable ski season but also showcases a sustainable model by storing and reusing snow during the off-season, setting a new standard for environmentally conscious engineering in winter sports facilities.

Laser-cutter Ilari Pietilä believes that a little stress improves concentration and performance. He thrives on decision-making, positive feedback and meeting seemingly impossible deadlines.

Pannonia Bio's ethanol plant not only leads in green innovation but exemplifies collaborative success. Since 2012, the company has grown into Europe's largest ethanol facility, with Vahterus playing a pivotal role in its transformative journey towards one of the most efficient refinieries in the world.

In Chongqing, China, a tire factory's efficiency greatly improved with Spirax Sarco's Vahterus Vent Condenser, eliminating vapor waste and slashing annual natural gas usage by 300,000 Nm3. Installed in 2015, this maintenance-free solution continues to optimize operations, delivering savings and sustainability in tire production.

Leveraging Vahterus technology, a chemical plant in Eastern China unlocked significant cost savings and reduced steam consumption. By harnessing Vahterus Plate & Shell heat exchangers, they recovered cold energy from ethylene, resulting in a remarkable 7.6 million RMB savings in just six months. This innovative approach not only optimizes efficiency but also propels the company into a low-carbon economy for a sustainable future.

Discover how Vahterus, in collaboration with Oiltek Oil & Fats Engineering, has transformed the deodorization process, enhancing energy efficiency and operational reliability for leading edible oil-refinery plants in Tianjin, Shanghai, and Dongguan.

In a fortuitous encounter at Achema exhibition in Germany, Fermion's Maintenance Manager, Kai Hassinen, stumbled upon Vahterus Plate & Shell heat exchangers in 2001. Now, 18 years later, with 43 installations in their processes, these innovative heat exchangers have not only met – but exceeded Fermion's expectations, standing as a testament to the PSHEs reliability and durability in the challenging conditions of pharmaceutical production.

At the end of 2009, technicians at DONG’s combined heat and power plant (acquired by VEKS in May 2012), in Köge, Denmark, contacted one of our distributors about the replacement of an existing heat exchanger.
