Advanced Monitoring, Predictive Analytics and Prescriptive Maintenance for Industrial Heat Transfer Systems
About us
Hexxcell mission is to bring digital innovation to industrial thermal systems. We combine Artificial Intelligence (AI) with physics-based models and deep domain knowledge to monitoring, design and maintenance of heat exchanger networks. Our hybrid digital twins are used by refineries and petrochemical plants worldwide to increase production, cut energy consumption and CO2 emissions, optimally manage operations and maintenance. Hexxcell spun-off from Imperial College London in 2013. Ever since, we have developed our technology in large scale multidisciplinary R&D projects in collaboration with oil majors and validated extensively on their plants. We are now an independent private company based in Central London and a proud team of chemical, mechanical and process systems engineers with deep knowledge of heat transfer, mathematical modelling, artificial intelligence and a knack for data science.

“Debunking the AI Hype: What’s What and What Really Works in Heat Exchangers”. That is the title of the keynote that Hexxcell’s CEO, Dr Francesco Coletti, will present at the Heat Exchanger World Conference & Expo Americas 2026 in Baytown, Texas on October 6–7. With AI becoming ever more part of all aspects of our daily lives, and the industries that we work in, it is important to understand its real capabilities and how it can help us. Francesco and Hexxcell have have a strong track-record of developing industrial digital solutions for Heat Exchangers, focussed on hybrid-AI models for monitoring, optimization, and predictive maintenance of process and energy systems for almost 10 years. Please come and meet Francesco at the conference or contact Hexxcell to explore the topic further. https://lnkd.in/eZp-KZbr #heatexchangerworld #hybridai #heatexchangerai #debunkingtheaihype

Another great edition of the UK Heat Transfer Conference concluded last week, and Hexxcell was delighted to be part of it. A big thank you to UK National Heat Transfer Committee for putting together such a strong programme. This year, Hexxcell was the Diamond Sponsor of UKHTC19, our team contributed 4 well received talks to the conference and we sponsored the prize for Best Presentation in the AI Applied to Heat Transfer session, presented to the winner by Hexxcell’s Monica Tirapelle. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand to hear about Hexxcell Studio and how the platform helps to tackle fouling challenges in practice. Thank you for asking your questions and sharing your perspectives with us. See you at the next UK Heat Transfer Conference in London in 2028! #heattransfer #hexfouling #hexxcellstudio #ukheattransferconference #digitaltwinforthermalsystems

Frequent shutdowns were costing a chemical operator tens of thousands of dollars per day. By using the Hexxcell Studio™ Hybrid-AI predictive analytics solution for thermal systems on their reactor quench exchanger, they were able to avoid shutdowns and unlock over $500,000 in annual savings through smarter heat exchanger cleaning strategies. Discover how @Hexxcell's solutions can help you to optimise the operations and maintenance of your plant by contacting us for an exploratory conversation. https://lnkd.in/dF72Te5R #ReactorOptimization #PredictiveMonitoring #PredictiveMaintenance #HybridAITechnology #heatexchangermaintenance #DigitalTwin #smarterheatexchangercleaning #hexcleaning #avoidunplannedshutdown
