HRS Heat Exchangers Ltd. applications

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 for biomass pre-treatment via thermal hydrolysis and the concentration of distiller’s grains.

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 risk of fouling; which then results in lower rates of heat transfer and lower efficiencies. Fouled evaporators need regular cleaning which further reduces operating efficiency.

Heat plays an important role in palm oil processing, therefore the efficient usage of energy in this industry is critical. Whether you have an application requiring a heat exchanger for heating, cooling, condensing or heat recovery in a palm oil refinery or oleochemical plant, HRS Heat Exchangers have a technology which will work for you.

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 repeatable whilst getting the most from the raw materials. The manufacture of higher viscosity products often requires a heat transfer solution that prevents the build-up of a fouling layer at the surface of the heat exchanger. The unique HRS range of hygienic scraped surface heat exchangers is ideal for the manufacture of creams and gels for personal care.
