Selling plate and frame heat exchangers in Houston
Houston is the refining and petrochemical capital of the U.S. Its Ship Channel complex runs thousands of shell and tube exchangers, air coolers, and alloy bundles, and turnarounds here free up more surplus heat exchangers than almost any city in the country.
Surplus Heat Exchangers buys plate and frame heat exchangers from plants and contractors throughout the Houston area, whether you are clearing a single surplus unit, a spare bundle, or decommissioning a full process line. We pay upfront and handle the heavy lifting.
How plate and frame heat exchangers are valued
Plates are usually 304/316 stainless or titanium; gaskets are nitrile or EPDM. Titanium plate packs (common in seawater and aggressive chemical service) carry the highest resale value of any plate unit.
Key value drivers for your plate and frame heat exchanger:
- Number and material of plates (titanium plates command a premium)
- Brand and model (Alfa Laval, GEA, Tranter, SPX/APV resell best)
- Frame size and design pressure rating
- Condition of gaskets and sealing surfaces
- Availability of the original nameplate and plate drawing
Pickup & freight from Houston
Plate units are far lighter than shell and tube, so freight is simpler — but we still arrange and pay for pickup nationwide. I-10, I-45, I-35, and Gulf ports make Texas our highest-volume pickup region.
