Quality
In the spirit of our founder Mr. F. Janssens favourite topics,
low tech becomes high tech when there is an improvement
of quality and an increase of production, our main goals
to improve the productivity through faster job turn arounds

M anufac t ur ing
Decometas factory (covered area of 7000 m on a total
surface of 28000 m) is located in Genk-Belgium. We
fabricate new equipment as well we repair and recondition
existing installations as shell and tube heat exchangers,
finned tube air-cooled heat exchangers, pressure vessels and
distillation columns for the chemical and petrochemical industries.
The workshops are equipped with the most modern facilities for proper
manufacturing and control such as:
Spare Parts
We will deliver all spare parts:
Headers
Complete inter exchangeable
bundles
Rotating equipment; fans, shafts,
transmission trains, shockswitches
Plugs, gaskets, nozzles
Projects
Besides Decometas modern workshop, our project teams are also
able to perform a diversity of on-site assemblies within the sector
of industrial piping, general maintenance up to turn key projects of
upgrades, revamping and debottlenecking projects.
The source of an air cooled heat exchanger failure or poor performance can
start on the designer drafting board. The way the installation is manufactured,
installed and overhauled can contribute to the performance condition of
the machine. The user may not have control over these steps; however
understanding of the potential problems can lead to future changes.
Our assessment program will help improving the equipment performance and
reliability. The maintenance costs and energy usage can also be reduced.
Our assessment program will help improving the equipment performance and reliability. The maintenance costs and energy
usage can also be reduced.
The process condition of the air cooled heat exchanger (ACHE) will be audited with the help of additional techniques for
airflow measurements, pressure drop readings, strobe analyses and thermographs. Simulations of the cooling or condensation
process will be performed with use of in house developed software programs with our own extended and optimized database for
calculating the air side pressure loss.
Audit Deliverables & Services
))The main goal is to improve overall performances and efficiency of air cooled heat
exchangers. Air cooled heat exchangers can be subject of loss in performance
due to many factors as fluid and airside mal-distribution, fouling, mechanical
problems and many others...
We deliver you assistance to solve your problems in improving the functioning
and the performance of your installation. Upgrading is the right choice without the
need of expensive investments in order to reach higher performances comparing to
the actual ones of your installation.
))Our projects start up with the screening the actual condition of the clients air cooled
heat exchanger with the aim to find a solution for improvement or dbottlenecking.
))We find the most profitable and advantageous solution for upgrading the clients
installation. Thermo graphical audit on
process flow distribution
))By implementing our technical solution within the respect of noise levels and vibrations
levels, the utilization of the clients installation will be maximized, resulting in very short
terms of pay back and within crystal clear described operation conditions to prevent
future operational problems.
Airflow measurement
Vibration analyses
To minimise the duration and cost of site assembly activities, Decometa designs the bulk of its projects for
modular transportation.
