Company mission
To ensure the technological independence of the country’s fuel and energy sector by providing modern engineering and equipment

Our value is attention to customers

  • We provide an individual solution for every customer
  • We ensure rapid response and precise execution
  • We raise the level of service by providing integrated single-window solutions: from design and manufacture to equipment installation, as well as full customer support while bringing the equipment to operating conditions
  • We develop new technologies and digital partnerships to improve the cost-effectiveness of our customers’ production processes

Our expertise

Increasing feedstock throughput
We improve production cost-effectiveness and the competitiveness of businesses within the industry while optimising your costs.
Increasing product yield and quality

Based on process modelling, we replace obsolete internals with modern designs to substantially increase capacity and improve the quality of the processed product.


Reducing capital and operating expenditure

We invite customers to consider higher-capacity internals that achieve the same results with smaller column dimensions and a lower overall project cost.

Process optimisation. Improving efficiency

Solutions for integrated process optimisation and energy-saving measures that reduce the company’s operating costs. 

Re-engineering and replacement of internals

Our experience in the oil and gas industry enables us to offer optimum solutions for replacing another manufacturer’s internals, with confirmation that the specified process parameters will be achieved.

Extending run length between turnarounds

Spliteks equipment has enhanced resistance to corrosion, coke and deposits, helping to extend the service life of column equipment.


A history spanning more than
30 years

Spliteks is the direct and sole successor to Sulzer Chemtech LLC and has fully retained all the knowledge, expertise, experience, personnel, customer relationships, calculation and design resources, and manufacturing capabilities accumulated during Sulzer’s operations in Russia since 1990. Sulzer Chemtech LLC, which until 2023 was a 100% subsidiary of the Swiss Sulzer AG Group, changed its name and continued operations as Spliteks LLC.

History

1990
The Swiss engineering group Sulzer decides to enter the USSR market. A multidisciplinary representative office of the Group is established in Moscow, including a small team to promote Sulzer Chemtech Ltd. products—column internals. Deliveries begin from Sulzer’s European and Asian manufacturing sites under the first contracts, mainly for oil refineries. All engineering support is provided from Switzerland
2008
Business in Russia and the former USSR countries, for which the Moscow representative office is also responsible, grows rapidly. The representative office already has a team of engineers providing in-house installation supervision for all supplied equipment and engineering support for sales, including process calculations at customers’ request. Sulzer management decides to establish a small local manufacturing facility for specialised equipment and an engineering centre for its calculation and design. The Russian company Sulzer Chemtech LLC is established, bringing together all the required functions. In 2009, the manufacturing site in Serpukhov, Moscow Region, produces its first products.
2017
The business grows, and although the quality of locally manufactured products meets international standards, capacity is insufficient—a significant share is imported from Europe and Asia. Sulzer management decides to upgrade the site and triple its capacity. The upgraded manufacturing facility, which became Sulzer Chemtech’s largest in Europe, opened on September 22, 2017. In subsequent years, the Serpukhov plant was certified by Gazprom, Rosneft, Novatek, Sibur, ExxonMobil, Shell Global Solutions, Technip and others. Until 2021, one third of the plant’s output was exported to Sulzer’s European divisions, meeting the company’s needs for small and urgent orders.
2023
In 2022, Sulzer decided to leave the Russian market and sell its assets to a new owner. In October 2023, Sulzer Chemtech LLC changed its name to Spliteks LLC.

Questions and
answers

How are Sulzer Chemtech and Spliteks related?

Spliteks LLC is the company that, until October 2023, was named Sulzer Chemtech LLC and was a 100% subsidiary of the Swiss Sulzer AG Group until Sulzer left Russia in 2023.

Spliteks has fully retained all the knowledge, expertise, experience, personnel, customer relationships, calculation and design resources, manufacturing capabilities and technologies created by Sulzer during its operations in Russia. Our manufacturing facility in Serpukhov, Moscow Region, is equipped with modern machinery.

Drawing on advanced engineering developments and proven design methods, Spliteks offers customers integrated solutions and service meeting international standards.

What factors affect the choice of internals?

The main selection criteria include the following:

  • Process-medium characteristics: viscosity, density and corrosiveness of components.
  • Required separation efficiency: number of theoretical stages or height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP), required degree of separation and packing height.
  • Hydraulic loads: liquid and gas flow rates and flow velocities.
  • Operating conditions: pressure, temperature, possible fouling and impurities.

Our experts select the optimum option (tray or packed internals) after a thorough analysis of the parameters provided by the customer.

What problems can result from incorrect selection of internals?
Incorrect selection of internals can lead to the following problems:  
  • Reduced process efficiency: insufficient phase separation and deterioration of final-product quality.  
  • Hydrodynamic problems: column flooding, tray flooding and non-uniform flow distribution.  
  • Accelerated equipment wear: increased corrosion and erosion due to high flow velocities and intense turbulence.  
Our experience enables us to minimise such risks through sound process calculations and design documentation developed by Spliteks.
Do you use standard solutions, or is each project customised?

Our work is based on proven standard designs, but we always adapt solutions to each specific situation:  

  • we take account of the specifics of the particular process;  
  • we develop the solution to match the geometric dimensions of the customer’s column;  
  • we select optimum materials of construction (stainless steels, special alloys, protective coatings, etc.).

How often should internals be serviced?
Maintenance requirements depend on the operating conditions of the device: 
  • For standard systems, inspection and cleaning are recommended once every 1–2 years.  
  • If the process medium is aggressive, the interval is shortened—regular monitoring of anti-corrosion coatings and sealing elements and timely replacement of worn components are required.  

At the customer’s request, we can provide individual maintenance recommendations for a specific product.
