FORAIN is an Italian engineering company and manufacturer with international presence in equipment and packages for gas conditioning, filtration, heating and control. Since 1975 it has established a recognised position in oil & gas, energy and gas treatment projects, combining process knowledge, pressure vessel manufacturing and the ability to supply complete skids ready for integration. Its strength lies not only in the individual piece of equipment, but in its ability to transform a process thermal requirement into a compact, coherent and well-documented solution.
In process heaters, FORAIN develops solutions designed to raise or stabilise the temperature of gas and other fluids when the operation demands avoiding condensation, compensating for the cooling resulting from a pressure reduction, protecting downstream equipment or ensuring stable conditions for metering, regulation and consumption. Within this range, the company works with three main technologies: water bath heaters, oil bath heaters and electric heaters, allowing selection of the most appropriate alternative according to required temperature, utility availability, operating philosophy and expected control level.
These solutions find a natural fit in gas treatment, metering and regulation stations, compression, pipeline transport, refining, petrochemical and energy, where fluid temperature conditions process stability and equipment protection. Choosing FORAIN means having an engineering company capable of selecting the most appropriate heating technology — water bath, oil bath or electric — and converting it into a well-integrated, reliable process package adapted to real operating conditions.
