Heat exchangers are commonly used for a wide range of purposes in the anaerobic and biogas sector, from digester heating and pasteurisation to evaporation, biogas dehumidification and exhaust gas heat recovery. With a wide range of types and designs available from numerous manufacturers, choosing the right solution, from the right supplier, can seem daunting. However, posing the right questions ...
Operators of anaerobic digestion (AD) plants know how important it is to optimise energy use across all stages of the process. That is why many recapture as much heat as possible for reuse elsewhere, including from the hot exhaust gases generated by the combined heat and power (CHP) engines which turn the biogas from the AD plant into useful heat and electricity. Heat exchangers used for exhaust ...
Fouling increases the overall thermal resistance and lowers the overall heat transfer coefficient of heat exchangers as well as impeding fluid flow, accelerating corrosion and increasing pressure drop across the heat exchanger. The cleaning of fouled heat exchangers presents a ...
