Tobol displays new solutions for chemical industry at Khimia 2025

Tobol, a leading player in industrial engineering in Russia, has expanded its scope of operations and partnerships with international manufacturers in recent years. At Khimia 2025, the company presented three types of equipment for various chemical production processes.

For 32 years, the company has been providing a full range of services to petrochemical companies: design, construction, installation, equipment supply from India, Iran, and China, as well as maintenance and repair. Maxim Glinsky, Director of the Separation Technologies Department, provided more details about the equipment on display.

- We brought three types of equipment to the show this year. This includes heat exchange equipment that is already well-known to market professionals. We are also presenting for the first time Iranian-made equipment that utilizes leading global laser welding technologies. Fully welded and semi-welded heat exchangers, capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 400 degrees Celsius, are widely used in numerous chemical and petrochemical productions.

We also present a model of a self-cleaning pipeline system. This is a unique technology that helps customers in the chemical industry and beyond maintain clean pipeline interiors. This is especially important for various chemical production facilities prone to fouling, and where access to cleaning by personnel is limited for various reasons. This technology also enables the transportation of different types of products through the same pipeline systems, which is undoubtedly more cost-effective than developing separate pipeline systems for each type of product.

Another exhibit is a high-speed disc separator manufactured in India. Separation is a fundamental technological process required in all industries involving processing. This separator is a worthy replacement for brands such as Alfa Laval and GEA Westfalia, which have left our market. These three products – the Indian separator, the Chinese self-cleaning pipeline system, and the Iranian heat exchanger – represent our new trend of products from partners in friendly countries.

Each of these countries has its own cultural characteristics and business practices that must be taken into account. To effectively address cooperation challenges, we have created a strong and capable foreign trade department that allows us to work effectively with these partners while taking into account their cultural and national specifics.

Before concluding cooperation agreements with new manufacturing partners, we always organise business missions, conduct inspections and production audits, meet key decision-makers, and build long-term, mutually beneficial relations.

Tobol supports its clients throughout the entire lifecycle, from design stage and even earlier, helping them develop the right technical specifications to ensure the project's success. We design and supply both individual components and complete systems, offering turnkey solutions.

Khimia is primarily a business for us. It is an opportunity to display our products to our customers and meet them in a single venue attended by many of our partners. And for many years now, the show has proven itself to be a highly productive venue with strong business results.
