BONO THERMAL OIL HEATERS
Thermal oil heaters are the right choice when customers require high temperatures
and thermal stability. BONO proposes two technologies: multi-coil heaters (OMV)
and multi-tubular heaters (OMP, HTH).

Oil & Gas

• Heating of crude oil for transportation in pipelines.
• Heating of crude oil storage tanks
• Refining processes

Chemical industry
• Production of synthetic resins and polyesters
• Production of synthesized and intermediate petroleum products
• Heating of products through reactors

Textile industry
• Production of synthetic fibers
• Printing and fixing of colored pattern on the fabric

Metallurgic
• Anodizing, phosphating, hot rolling

Plastics and rubber processing

• Heating of presses, production of PVC and polypropylene

Flexible packaging production

• Heating of molding presses, films
• Heating of applied glue and adhesive layers

Thermal fluids vs Steam

When compared to using steam in these applications, heat transfer fluids (thermal oils)
have several distinct advantages:
› Liquid phase and low pressures (even at very high temperatures) lead to a simpler,
less expensive, and safer system that is easier to operate and maintain
› No chemical treatments are needed (usually water must be chemically treated-an additional
operational cost for the plant)
› Less mechanical stress due to lower pressure-reducing maintenance requirements
› Unlike steam boiler systems, it typically does not require licensed Boiler operators

Thermal fluids’ benefits

› High boiling point and low vapor pressure in order to avoid pressurized systems
› Low viscosity over operating range to ensure proper heat transfer
› Low pour point to enable easy start-up at ambient temperatures
› Good thermal and oxidation stability to provide long fluid life
› No reaction with other chemicals used in the process to reduce hazards
in case of internal leakages
› Good price-performance ratio to get maximum performance for the money paid.

execution and can be
an atmospheric or pressurized
Thermal oil storage tank:
› Placed underground or at ground level, it is commonly designed to contain the total thermal
oil content of the plant plus a reasonable safety margin (+20%)
Thermal oil gear pump:
› Thermal oil gear pump is used to fill the plant at first start-up or for integrations

GAS-FLUID ECONOMIZER
› A heat exchanger can be used to recover additional heat from combustion flue gases, heating
a secondary fluid (example: hot water). These solutions significantly increase the overall efficiency
of the thermal plant

CONTROL SYSTEM
› BONO Optispark is an electronic control system, designed and developed by BONO that includes
BMS (burner control system) and BCS (boiler control system). It can be interfaced to other
SCADA systems via MODBUS or PROFIBUS and includes a high definition touch-screen control panel.
