Biogas Cleaning
Removal of water vapor Origin In the biogas production process, water is an intrinsic part of both the material to be digested (biomass) and the process itself. Furthermore, water is the medium in which biogas production takes place, regardless of whether the digestion process is dry or wet, the biogas produced will contain water vapour. The amount of water vapour contained in the biogas ...

What Is A Heat Exchanger?
A heat exchanger is a device that transfers (or exchanges) heat from one fluid to another. There are many different names for heat exchangers because of their varied applications. When considering what you want from a heat exchanger you should think about which medium you want to heat or cool and what you are using it for What Are The Different Types Of Heat Exchanger? Finned Tube Heat ...

The Engineering Behind Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers and Their Benefits
Shell and tube heat exchangers are used for the flow of in-line heating and cooling. The innovative design allows the movement of fluids through the tubes and exterior shell delivering changeability. The movement of fluid can be run in a counterflow, cross flow, or parallel mode. The flow of the fluids can not be reversed, so the development of dirty pockets is then eliminated during the ...

New Juice Processing Solutions: from Concentrate to Bottle - Part 2
Pasteurisation High Temperature Short Time (HTST) pasteurisation, also known as ‘flash pasteurisation’, is the preferred technique for making premium quality juice. The HRS series of MI/MR pasteurisers uses a food-grade, multitube corrugated tube heat exchanger to speed up the heat transfer, while the corrugated tubes create extra turbulence in the juice as it flows through. This ...

HRS helps AD plant tap into additional heat from existing CHP
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 ...

The value of increasing the efficiency of tubular heat exchangers by using turbulators
Introduction Heat transfer enhancement in all types of heat exchanger systems is of great significance for the cooling and heating industry. In addition to saving energy, it also leads to a reduction in size and weight of equipment. In the last decade energy efficiency has become an increasingly important theme among policy makers as it can enable economic growth, reduce emissions and improve ...
