GMA at the Heat Exchanger World Conference 2026
Heat Exchangers: When Maintenance Becomes Strategic
But our presence means more than just being there. It’s the message we bring: maintenance is not an operating cost, it is a strategic tool to protect asset value.
Technical Presentation
In HVAC heat exchangers, critical issues often remain invisible until failure occurs:
- Fouling → energy efficiency loss (often 15–20% or more)
- Hidden corrosion → accelerated degradation
- Localized erosion → leakage risk
- Galvanic corrosion → damage between dissimilar materials
The result is always the same: performance deterioration and higher total cost of ownership (TCO).

The GMA Approach: Integrated Maintenance
Not a single intervention, but a comprehensive system:
- Advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) for accurate diagnosis
- High-performance technical cleaning
- Anti-corrosion and anti-fouling coatings (Phencote®)
- In-situ interventions to minimize downtime
Goal: Maintain thermal conductivity and operational performance over time.
What data and real cases demonstrate
- Significant reduction of deposits
- Lower biofilm formation
- More stable long-term performance
Across multiple sectors (chemical, energy, marine), this translates to:
- Avoiding premature replacement
- Extending asset lifetime
- Reducing unplanned shutdowns
