Watlow Showcases Advanced Electrification Solutions for Decarbonizing Downstream Industries at ADIPEC 2025

Event News Featured

Watlow®, a global leader in industrial technology and thermal systems, will present its latest electrification innovations at ADIPEC 2025, underlining the company’s commitment to helping the oil, gas, and chemical industries accelerate their decarbonization journeys.

Visitors to Watlow’s booth 2310 in hall 2 will experience a 3D model and dedicated video demonstration showcasing how Watlow’s advanced electric thermal solutions replace conventional combustion-based process heating. The company will also highlight its pioneering POWERSAFE™ medium voltage heating and control solution, designed to enable safe, efficient, and scalable electrification of high-temperature processes.

Hammad Chowdhury, Managing Director for the APAC Region, will be part of Watlow’s team at ADIPEC, available to share insights into how electrification is reshaping downstream industries and to discuss real-world examples of successful deployments.

“The downstream industry is under growing pressure to reduce carbon emissions without compromising on efficiency and reliability,” said Hammad Chowdhury. “Watlow’s integrated solutions demonstrate that electrification is not only technically viable but also commercially and operationally advantageous. At ADIPEC, we will show how our technologies are already enabling our customers to decarbonize critical refining and petrochemical processes.”

Driving Decarbonization in Process Industries

Watlow’s POWERSAFE medium voltage system is specifically engineered to overcome the challenges of large-scale electrification. By connecting directly to medium voltage power (4160 to 7200V), it reduces copper usage and infrastructure costs, while its advanced busbar design prevents partial discharge, ensuring long-term safety and reliability. Sealing innovations eliminate moisture ingress in insulation, avoiding unplanned downtime and extending product life.

With significantly higher temperature capability than traditional systems, the POWERSAFE system supports a wider range of industrial applications. It also simplifies operations by eliminating the need for auxiliary equipment such as boilers and steam loops, reducing both capital expenditure and maintenance complexity. Integrated ThermalWatch™ predictive monitoring further enhances reliability, giving operators real-time insight into system performance and enabling early detection of potential issues.

These features ensure that electrification is not only environmentally sustainable but also operationally robust, giving downstream operators the confidence to modernize their facilities while achieving ambitious ESG targets.

A Complete Electrification Ecosystem

Watlow’s end-to-end approach enables operators to electrify complex refinery unit operations and hydrogen production processes while maintaining uptime and operational excellence. By integrating thermal technologies with precision control and advanced safety features, Watlow is helping downstream industries achieve meaningful decarbonization targets without compromising performance.
