Custom Fabrication for Complex Energy Projects
The oil and gas industry demands equipment that performs reliably under extreme pressures, high temperatures, and highly corrosive environments. Every project must meet stringent industry standards to ensure safety, efficiency, and long-term performance. At Harris Thermal, we have been engineering and fabricating process equipment since 1885, and we understand what it takes to deliver proven solutions for the most challenging energy applications.
Our team designs and fabricates to industry-specific codes such as ASME Section VIII, TEMA, API 620, API 650, and API 660, ensuring full compliance and peace of mind for our customers across North America. Whether supporting upstream production, midstream transport, or downstream refining, Harris Thermal is a trusted partner to EPCs, project managers, and facility operators in oil and gas.
Meeting Industry Standards and Challenges
Safety and performance are non-negotiable in the oil and gas sector is why every vessel and exchanger we build is manufactured to internationally recognized standards:
- TEMA (Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association) for shell & tube heat exchangers
- API 620 and API 650 for welded storage tanks and low-pressure vessels
- API 660 for heat exchangers used in refineries and petrochemical service
- ASME Section VIII for pressure vessels and high-specification process equipment
By adhering to these codes, we ensure that every piece of equipment we deliver is built for reliability, safety, and efficiency throughout its service life.
Our Capabilities in Oil AND Gas
Harris Thermal supplies custom fabricated process equipment across the full oil and gas value chain. Our experience includes design and fabrication of:
- Tanks – API 650 storage tanks, ASME pressure vessels, and specialty containment solutions
- Chillers and Cooling Towers – supporting cryogenic, dehydration, and refining applications
- Condensers and Evaporators – optimized for heat recovery, separation, and process efficiency
- Crystallizers – used in specialty petrochemical recovery and byproduct processes
- Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers – designed to TEMA and API 660 standards for upstream, midstream, and downstream service
We fabricate in a wide range of materials to match application needs, including carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex, AL-6XN, high-nickel alloys (Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel), titanium, and clad materials.
Special Design Services: Lethal Service and Cyclic Service designs available per ASME Section VIII requirements, including fatigue life and weld integrity considerations for refinery and petrochemical duty.
Applications Across the Energy Sector
Our equipment plays a vital role in oil and gas operations:
- Upstream – separation systems, crude stabilization, and dehydration units
- Midstream – storage tanks, transport cooling, and cryogenic chilling systems
- Downstream – refinery heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators, and petrochemical recovery systems
With extensive experience delivering large-scale process equipment, Harris Thermal has supported projects from the Gulf Coast refineries to Canadian oil sands. Our ability to scale and adapt makes us a reliable partner across the energy landscape.
