Case Study Details

Client: Energy Industry
Project Start: July 2025

Project Overview

A global energy company operating from Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), Dubai, experienced a critical failure in one of its evaporative condenser cooling skids. The existing mild-steel evaporative condenser coil had suffered advanced corrosion due to prolonged exposure to water, chemicals, and harsh ambient conditions, resulting in repeated leaks, degraded thermal performance, and unplanned shutdowns.

Given the mission-critical nature of cooling in energy-infrastructure operations, the client appointed Al Tabreed Industries LLC to engineer, manufacture, and supply a complete stainless-steel evaporative condenser coil replacement, designed specifically for long-term reliability in aggressive industrial environments.

Customer Challenge

The evaporative condenser is a core component of the plant’s heat-rejection system, operating continuously under high thermal loads while being exposed to water spray, dissolved solids, and outdoor conditions. The existing MS coil had reached end-of-life, creating escalating operational risk.

Key challenges included:

  • Severe corrosion of tubes and structural members
  • Multiple active leaks across the coil bundle
  • Significant reduction in heat-transfer efficiency
  • Increased fan and pump energy consumption
  • Repeated emergency shutdowns for temporary repairs
  • Rising maintenance costs and elevated safety risk

In energy and process-cooling applications, evaporative condenser coil integrity is mission-critical. Any loss of containment or cooling capacity directly impacts plant availability, safety, and production output. The client required a robust, corrosion-resistant solution that would eliminate recurring failures and extend service life.

Our Engineering Solution

Al Tabreed Industries LLC designed and manufactured a custom SS304 evaporative condenser coil, engineered specifically for continuous industrial operation in the UAE’s high-temperature, high-salinity environment.

Key Technical Upgrades:

  • SS304 stainless-steel tubes and casing to withstand constant water exposure and prevent corrosion-related failures
  • Heavy-duty mechanical design to handle thermal cycling, vibration, and outdoor installation
  • TIG-welded tube joints to ensure leak-free performance under high pressure and continuous flow conditions
  • Exact dimensional replication of the existing coil to allow direct installation into the evaporative condenser skid without structural modification
  • Optimized tube and fin geometry to restore original heat-rejection capacity and improve overall system efficiency

The coil was fully fabricated in our UAE manufacturing facility, following strict quality-control procedures including dimensional verification, weld inspection, and pressure testing prior to dispatch.
