Industries
Howden Africa serves utility and industrial markets throughout Africa excluding Algeria, Egypt and Morocco. Wherever large quantities of air and gas need to be moved 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 - iron and steel, cement, petrochemicals, mineral processing etc - we supply fans, blowers and compressors for process critical applications that are able to meet the most arduous demands.
We serve those industries where large-scale ventilation is crucial; providing fans for mining and tunnel ventilation, and refrigeration systems for mine cooling. For the exploitation and processing of oil and gas, our compressors, blowers and fans are used in many specialized and niche applications. Among the environmental industries we serve are wastewater treatment and dust control, though much of our equipment supplied elsewhere is for environmental applications.
We are active in virtually every industry requiring gas compression or movement of process air, dirty or otherwise.
