Hello all.
We are exploring changing the pre-heat to our NHT and catalytic reformer to a welded plate heat exchanger (Packinox).
I wanted to see if anyone had any bad experience with these, in this type of service.
The manufacture tells us that we can easily improve out hot-end approach temperature by 60-70 F.

thanks
