Barriquand Technologies Thermiques

What Barriquand Technologies Thermiques does

Barriquand Technologies Thermiques is a French designer and manufacturer of custom-built heat exchangers, founded in 1936 and headquartered in Roanne, France. The company operates through three internal entities: Barriquand Échangeurs (plate heat exchangers), ASET (shell and tube heat exchangers including Shell&Twist® twisted tube technology), and Barriquand Heat Exchangers (sales and engineering advisory). Its product portfolio spans six lines: patented Platular® welded plate heat exchangers with Free-Flow wide gap channels, PCV Platular® units for district heating, gasketed plate exchangers, brazed plate exchangers, shell and tube exchangers, and shell and coil exchangers, with materials ranging from stainless steel (304L, 316L, 316TI) to nickel alloys and duplex. The company also provides spare parts, maintenance bundles, and thermal engineering consulting.

Barriquand serves six primary verticals: food and agriculture (notably sugar), chemicals and pharmaceuticals, HVAC and district heating, heavy industry (steel, paper, textiles), oil and gas (including marine and offshore), and environment and energy recovery (wastewater, waste incineration, cogeneration). Its engineered solutions target industrial pain points such as fouling fluids with suspended solids, high-pressure and high-temperature process conditions, and energy recovery in district heating networks, with documented case-study outcomes including 20%+ energy bill reduction in sugar applications and 30% performance gains with Shell&Twist® versus classic shell and tube.

The company generates revenue primarily through custom-engineered equipment sales (one-time capital equipment), supplemented by maintenance services with multi-brand spare parts inventory and thermal engineering consulting. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no public price list. Distribution is delivered through a direct network of sales engineers in France and internationally, supported by exclusive regional agents (Gulf Coast Engineered Solutions in the US, Runmex and Flowproen in Latin America) and a domestic spare parts and maintenance network. Approximately 60% of production is exported worldwide, and the company maintains regulatory certifications (PED, ASME U Stamp, ADMerkblatt, SELO, ACS, plus marine certifications DNV/Bureau VERITAS/Lloyds Register/ABS) to access regulated pressure-equipment markets globally.
