GEA Air Treatment CAIRplus air-handling units for airflow from 3,000 to 23,000 m3/h are now available with adiabatic cooling. These models cool extracted air up to the saturation point. The cold produced by evaporation is then transferred to the supply…
Gas turbines are widely used throughout the chemical process industries (CPI) — especially in petroleum refineries and petrochemical facilities — to provide both mechanical-drive and power-generation capabilities. Presented below are a variety of recommendations related to the selection and arrangement…
GEA PHE Systems The new EcoFlex CDH heat-exchanger frame range features frame plates that have been considerably reduced in thickness. The cross section reduction in the clamping bolts has been compensated for by a greater number of bolts, which in…
The ever important aim of energy efficiency in the chemical process industries (CPI) is brought closer to its target by the practice of energy recovery in heat exchanger networks (HENs). When heat exchangers are designed to work together to exchange…
Welded plate heat exchangers in plate-and-shell design (photo) provide a large heat exchange area in a small space, uniform distribution of pressure- and temperature-related stresses and low shell thicknesses. This firm has developed a process to execute weld seams of…
The Mini-MOD-CNC is has the capability to lead-lag two different groups of boilers: condensing and non-condensing. The controller provides two means of selecting the lead group switching, either using a specific system or outdoor set point with an adjustable switching…
Dryco The XDH2000 (photo) is a patented, explosion-proof dehumidifier for mobile applications. Designed with a smaller footprint for hazardous chemical locations, the XDH2000 uses silica gel-impregnated desiccant technology. The company says the product is capable of twice the output of…
The newest and largest member of the Compabloc family of heat exchangers, the Compabloc 120 (photo), will be on display for the first time at this firm’s stand. The Compabloc 120 offers a big boost to any natural gas, petroleum,…
With an intelligent controller design featuring PID output, the Model 61 Boiler Blowdown System (photo) modulates the blowdown control valve to allow the maximum level of dissolved solids. Conductivity (TDS) sensors are utilized to determine when the boiler water must…
This online conductivity sensor for industrial boilers can measure directly in the blowdown line without sample cooling — saving on installation and operating costs. It enables continuous automatic blowdown control, which minimizes corrosion and scaling to a greater extent than…
