Durable Industrial HVAC Systems for Onshore & Offshore Environments
Since 1974, DWD International has specialized in designing, manufacturing, and maintaining industrial HVAC and pressurization systems engineered to withstand extreme conditions. Our expertise spans onshore and offshore environments, including hazardous locations requiring explosion-proof and corrosion-resistant equipment. With over 45 years of experience, we pioneered innovations like variable frequency drive pressurization units that meet NFPA 496 standards. Our commitment to safety is embedded in every project, with behavioral-based safety processes and SEMS compliance. We maintain full control over system design, fabrication, and testing through our 60,000-square-foot facility, ensuring precision and quality at every stage. Our proprietary coating systems and rigorous quality assurance programs guarantee equipment longevity, with many systems operating for over 30 years.

Our global service team provides commissioning and maintenance support across diverse locations, from Alaskan production facilities to Southeast Asian offshore platforms. We serve major energy industry clients, including Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Shell, through direct collaboration with oil companies, engineering firms, and industrial fabricators. Our in-house engineering capabilities cover electrical, mechanical, and duct design, adhering to international standards like ABS, ATEX, and IEC. With a focus on client partnership, we offer ongoing support throughout a system's lifecycle, including refrigerant conversion consulting and replacement part services.

I know about DWD quality equipment and services since 1993 when I bought 13 PCR (Power Control Room) for offshore application in a Venezuela oil field having the best of the results in special with the Service Group. During the last nine years I have worked as Inside Sales Engineer for PCR manufacturers in Houston, Texas having noticed the preference of customers with DWD equipment in special for offshore and very egressive environments in chemical and refinery facilities.

I was a temp to hire at this company back in the late 90's. The engineering craftsmanship and pride that went into every facet of work was without question magnificent. At that time they built what was called super chillers very large cooling/heating units for off shore and onshore oil rigs and companies.. The processes included explosion proofing wall units, high quality coatings that will stand up to salt water and other elements with exceptional standards on quality...by all means.
