Biogas is a gaseous fuel containing large amounts of methane (biomethane) which is produced by the anaerobic digestion of biological material under controlled conditions.
Biodiesel is any kind of biofuel made from animal fats and vegetable oils, either new or recycled. It is the most common biofuel in Europe and is produced mainly from soy, sunflower, palm oil and jatropha but also from other vegetables like rapeseed, mahua, mustard, flax and even algae. Please keep on reading about our enhancements in biodiesel production.
Bioethanol is the most common biofuel worldwide, based on alcohols produced by the fermentation of sugars contained in corn, wheat, sugar beet, sugar cane, etc. The process also frequently produces a co-product called distiller’s grains, which is a high protein animal feed. HRS Heat Exchangers produce a number of heat exchanger solutions for bioethanol production and associated activities. As well as general heat exchangers for condensation, heating and heat recovery, we also provide specific solutions...
Evaporation is a proven and effective way of reducing the volume of many waste streams. HRS Heat Exchangers offer solutions for the evaporation and concentration of waste streams from a wide variety of industries, such as water treatment, bioenergy and food production. A common issue when treating certain waste streams with standard evaporation technologies (such as falling film) is that when heated, they can foul equipment. As the concentration of solids increases during the evaporation process, so does the...
Producers of leading carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks, coffee and tea, beer, wine and spirits, juices and other beverages rely on us. We deliver solutions that lower production costs and reduce the impact of production on the environment by minimising product and raw ingredient waste as well as by significantly cutting water and energy consumption.
Cooking is increasingly seen as a leisure activity, often focused on weekends and holidays when more time is available for the creation of complex or exotic dishes. This means that day-to-day meals are often based around ready meals and convenience foods. Also, the trend for snacking and eating ready-to-eat meals and processed foods throughout the day shows no signs of slowing down. Successfully processing ingredients into these high-quality convenience foods required a careful balance between reliably low...
The fine and speciality chemicals sector often deal with high-value products, expensive raw materials and high capital costs. In this environment product integrity and process efficiency are paramount. The production of compounds for use in everything from paints and pigments to fuels and additives, pesticides to cosmetics and toiletries requires high standards of security and quality control. The exact requirements will depend on the chemicals involved and their properties. Some single substances will require...
Demand for lotions creams and gels used cosmetics, skin care products and toothpastes continues to grow. Due to their viscosity and the fact that they often contain different elements, for example micro-beads or emulsions which must be kept in suspension during processing, the production of these pharmaceuticals and personal care products needs specialist equipment. HRS Heat Exchangers produce a range of heat exchangers and associated products that help to make the manufacturing processes safe, reliable and...
