Columns,
Towers,
Heat exchangers,
Multi-tubular reactors,
Evaporators,
Crystallizers,
Dryers,
Road/rail tankers,
Most modern storage equipment,
Loading and unloading systems,
Cooling towers,
Cryogenic systems,
Equipment for dairy and food processing,
Mineral beneficiation equipment,
Rotary Kilns,
Equipment for power plants,
Equipment for offshore projects,
Thermal and combustion systems etc.

2. An impressive array of
Equipment for solid-liquid separation,
Equipment for water and waste water treatment,
Systems for environmental engineering and pollution control,
Large material handling equipment,
Marine equipment
Special purpose equipment for critical services such as
Reformers,
Multiwall ammonia converters,

Fired heaters etc.
International companies have their presence in India through joint ventures like Atlas
Copco, Alfa Laval, J. L.Smidth, Sulzer, etc. Others have technology tie-ups with
renowned Indian equipment manufacturers.
The internationally renowned consultants in the process industries like
Flour Daniel, Bechtel, Foster Wheel, LG, Daelim, Jacobs, Kvaerner,
Mitsui Babcock, Linde, ABB Lummus, Technip, Jacobs, Stone & Webster,
Udhe and Toyo Engineering have offices in India. They are increasingly using the Indian
process plant manufacturers’expertise in engineering and manufacturing for outsourcing
since they are in the process of creating global vendor databases for the purpose of
expanding their low cost structure purchase options.
Many of these world leaders with know-how in the process industries subcontract their
engineering and design jobs to India and outsource equipment from India for projects
abroad
