Industrial Investment in Heat Transfer Infrastructure
Saudi Arabia is accelerating the deployment of advanced thermal systems within its expanding petrochemical sector. Large-scale complexes are being equipped with high-efficiency ethylene cracking heaters designed to ensure optimal performance and reliability under continuous operations. These systems are critical to managing high-temperature processes like off-gas recovery and hydrocarbon treatment. The ongoing industrial upgrades reflect the country’s commitment to enhancing local production capacity and reducing dependency on imports for refined products. Integration of such equipment requires compatible heat transfer fluids that maintain thermal stability and operational safety. As more facilities come online with modernized configurations, demand is rising for specialized fluids that can support precise heat control, longer service cycles, and reduced energy loss, thereby reinforcing thermal efficiency across installations. These factors are intensifying the Saudi Arabia heat transfer fluids market growth. For example, in February 2024, Lummus Technology announced a contract award from Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co. for supplying heat transfer equipment to a major petrochemical project in Saudi Arabia. The project, licensed by SATORP, includes multiple Lummus technologies such as ethylene, refinery off-gas recovery, and treating systems.
Localized Manufacturing Boosting Thermal System Efficiency
Saudi Arabia is reinforcing its industrial self-reliance by setting up domestic assembly hubs for thermal management components. A newly established facility in Jubail is dedicated to assembling plate heat exchangers, which are vital for efficient heat transfer in energy and HVAC operations. This localized approach shortens delivery times, reduces logistics-related emissions, and ensures timely availability of key components. The move aligns with national objectives to increase sustainability and operational independence across strategic sectors. By strengthening local support for industrial applications, the facility enhances reliability and responsiveness to market needs. The rising availability of advanced exchangers within the country is expected to drive demand for high-performance fluids tailored to evolving system requirements, supporting broader goals of energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. For instance, in November 2023, Alfa Laval inaugurated a new plate heat exchanger (PHE) assembly center in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030. The facility aims to reduce product lead times and environmental impact by localizing assembly, thereby minimizing airfreight emissions. With an annual capacity of 500 units, it supports the energy and HVAC sectors, enhancing operational efficiency and sustainability for regional customers.
