Engineering, Manufacturing, Commissioning

From process simulation to equipment design: We deliver outstanding quality and maximum performance while adhering to the highest safety standards.
Natrix Prozesssimulation für industrielle Wärmepumpen, Kälteanlagen und Ammoniak-Wasser-Prozesse

Advanced Process Simulation & Equipment Design

Our proprietary simulation platform Natrix enables the rapid design, optimisation, and evaluation of complex thermal and chemical process systems.

From heat exchangers and distillation columns to absorbers, evaporators, and industrial heat pumps, we provide accurate equipment sizing, process optimisation, and cost estimation based on rigorous thermodynamic models.

Rather than selling software licences, we deliver engineering results. This allows our clients to benefit from advanced simulation capabilities without requiring specialised software expertise, model maintenance, or internal process simulation resources.

Special expertise includes ammonia-water systems, industrial heat pumps, refrigeration systems, and advanced thermal process technologies.

Heat exchanger

Heat Exchangers

Reliable heat transfer is at the heart of every efficient industrial process. Whether the objective is reducing energy consumption, recovering waste heat, increasing production capacity, or supporting decarbonisation targets, the performance of the heat exchanger often determines the success of the entire system.

At BLT, we design and supply custom-engineered heat exchangers tailored to your process requirements. Every unit is individually calculated, optimised, and manufactured in Europe according to the highest quality standards and applicable international codes.

By combining decades of engineering experience with proprietary thermodynamic and fluid dynamic design tools, we deliver heat exchanger solutions that maximise efficiency, reliability, and economic performance—even under challenging operating conditions and fluctuating energy prices.

Our portfolio includes:

  • Shell-and-tube & U-tube heat exchangers
  • Evaporators
  • Condensers
  • Reboilers and boilers
  • Liquid-to-liquid heat exchangers
  • Economisers
  • Liquid-to-gas heat exchangers
  • Flue gas and waste heat recovery heat exchangers

We possess extensive expertise in the design of heat exchangers for two-component mixtures, particularly ammonia-water systems used in advanced refrigeration, heat pump, and thermal process applications.

From initial process design to final equipment delivery, our focus remains unchanged: helping our clients achieve reliable, economical production in a rapidly changing energy landscape.

Rectification Columns

Rectification columns

The rectification column plays an essential role in every ammonia absorption refrigeration plant.

Over the years we gained extensive and in-depth experience in the design and construction of these columns, employing both, trays or plates and structured or filled packings of columns.

This expertise not only enhances our ability to effectively design and construct each column tailored to specific operational requirements, but it also empowers us to deliver a wide range of columns that serve various applications within the chemical industry.

This includes, but is not limited to, fundamental processes such as gas rectification, scrubbers and strippers.

Ammonia separators and vessels

Beside heat exchanger and columns we can be your partner for the design and delivery of a wide range of pressure vessels for your industrial plant. Such as:

  • Ammonia separators
  • High pressure ammonia receivers
  • Liquid storage tanks
  • Receiver or separators for condensate in steam applications
  • and other applications

Specially if you need a complete vessel with level and/or pressure measurements, different service valves and safety valves mounted directly on the vessel. Get in contact with us to receive a quote adapted to your requirements.

All our vessels are designed according Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) and come with all required certifications according to the European regulations.
