Shell & tube heat exchanger inventory from IPP – ready to ship

Each shell & tube heat exchanger at IPP is inspected and ready for rapid integration into your operation.

Save time and capital with used and surplus heat exchangers from IPP

When time and cost matter, a high-quality shell & tube heat exchanger from International Process Plants (IPP) can offer a faster, more economical path to production. With a global inventory of over 15,000 pieces of industrial process equipment—including hundreds of used and surplus heat exchangers—IPP helps companies worldwide avoid long OEM delays and reduce capital expenditure by up to 50%.

Many of IPP’s heat exchangers are available immediately, fully documented and backed by expert inspection. Whether you need U-tube, fixed-tube sheet, or floating head designs, our inventory includes stainless steel, Hastelloy, and other corrosion-resistant alloys for demanding chemical, pharmaceutical and food-grade applications.

As Ross Gale, IPP’s vice president, explained: “In today’s volatile market, no one wants to wait 12 months for an OEM delivery. We help our customers move faster by providing thoroughly vetted shell & tube heat exchangers that are ready when they are—and at a fraction of the cost.”

Every heat exchanger is inspected for mechanical integrity, and full documentation is provided when available. If needed, Universal Glasteel Equipment (UGE) and Gale Process Solutions (GPS) can provide new or rebuilt systems, and even custom fabrication with short lead times.

IPP’s focus on sustainability means that many of these systems come from responsibly decommissioned plants. Over 95% of materials are recycled or reused during our relocation projects. In addition, IPP holds ISN RAVS Plus certification, assuring partners of our safety and compliance record during asset handling and demolition.
