Customer achieves payback in under two-and-a-half months with compact heat exchanger
In an ongoing effort to improve plant efficiency and reduce operating costs, a pulp mill in Georgia, USA, decided to use a compact heat exchanger to preheat its chlorine dioxide solution with waste heat from its bleach plant.
DATE 2023-11-28The ideal heat exchanger for this particular application would combine the high efficiency and high shear found in corrugated plate-and-frame technology with the reliability and convenience of a welded, gasket-free, design. In addition, this heat exchanger must have the adequate channel spacing to handle the small concentration of fibers present in the Filtrate stream.
After a careful evaluation of available technologies, this pulp mill chose an Alfa Laval
Compabloc welded heat exchanger.
