ETHANOL plants face challenges wit heat exchangers (PHEs) due to severe fauling from high-solid process fluids and erosion from high-velocity fluid flow.
What challenges are you facing in your industry?
1.
are you experiencing Fouling and scaling?
High-solids content in ethanol production processes causes fauling, reducing heat transfer efficency by 10%-30%, increased pressure and delta P.
2.
ARE YOU EXPERIENCING EROSION AND HIGH-VELOCITY CORROSION?
Plate erosion in fermenter coolers, caused by high fluid velocity that leads to costly damage and permanent replacements.
3.
Are you experiencing gasket and plate failure?
Improper maintenance can cause gasket failure and cross-contamination, increased pressure and unplanned downtime.
4.
Are you experiencing downtime and maintenance?
High-intensity processing demands rapid CIP service, often within 24 hours, to prevent production losses.
5.
Are you Experiencing High-Pressure Differential?
High operating pressures in ethanol destilation can cause blowouts.
6.
Are you Experiencing bacterial infections?
Caused from harden corrsion and pitting, killing the life cycle of yeast pre-maturely.
How can Ross HX help?
Here is what our customers have to say:
“I reached out to another plant that said they stopped using the company I had been using and now only use ROSS HX, and they gave me Ezra Lane’s email address. I emailed Ezra late in the day, and it wasn’t even 10 minutes before I got a phone call back from Ezra. We talked about options, and knowing I had not received my plates in yet, he said he could have a crew come to me the next morning to work with my existing plates to get us back up and running safely until the plates came in. ” – K.D.
Handling Fibrous Solids & Plugging (WideGap Exchangers):
The way Ross HX handles WideGap heat exchangers, with plate gaps up to 25 mm, to prevent clogging from mash and suspended solids.
Managing Fouling & Scaling (Efficient CIP): The Ross HX’s approach to WideGap units reduces cleaning frequency in high-fouling environments by up to 80% compared to standard heat exchangers.
Preventing Erosion and Corrosion (Proper Sizing/Material Selection): At Ross HX, we handle High-velocity erosion from improperly sized ports, which can be mitigated by using larger ports and higher-grade materials. With Ross HX’s “in-house” engineering and design team, we are able to customize your heat exchanger to fit your specific needs.
Minimizing Maintenance Downtime: Ross HX understands the importance of keeping your heat exchanger operating continuously. With fast maintenance, readily available new and refurbished plates, with immediate support, we help ensure minimal downtime.
Improving Efficiency (Optimal Design): Ross HX design team helps ethanol plants optimize plate configurations and unit sizing to maximize energy recovery and maintain precise temperature control.
