Process Heating and Heat Containment

Process heating is essential in the manufacture of most consumer and industrial products, including those made out of metal, plastic, rubber, carbon fiber, concrete, glass, and ceramics. Process heating systems can be broken into three basic categories: fuel-based, electric-based, and steam-based heating. Proper heat containment methods in all of these categories ensures that the least amount of heat is wasted throughout the system. Applying best energy management practices and purchasing energy-efficient equipment can lead to significant savings in process heating and heat containment systems.
