Industries

Howden serves utility and industrial markets worldwide. Wherever large quantities of air need to be moved, or difficult gases compressed, Howden provides the equipment, backed up by extensive applications experience, and the services to ensure optimum operation over the lifetime of the plant. 

We are pre-eminent in supplying fans and rotary heat exchangers to the power industry, not only for boiler draught but also for emissions control and for the nuclear sector. For the heavy process industries such as iron and steel, cement, petrochemicals and mineral processing, we supply fans, blowers and compressors for process critical applications able to meet the most arduous demands. 

We serve those industries where large-scale ventilation is crucial; providing fans for mining and tunnel ventilation. For the exploitation and processing of oil and gas, our compressors, blowers and fans are used in many specialised and niche applications. Among the environmental industries we serve are wastewater treatment and dust control, through much of our equipment supplied elsewhere is for environmental applications. We adapt our fan designs to meet the precise needs of manufacturers (OEMs) in the transport and defence sectors, and manufacturers of other plant such as roadsweepers.
 
We are active in virtually every industry requiring gas compression or movement of process air, dirty or otherwise. We do not generally supply the building services and HVAC markets except in Africa.
