Attain Complete Condensation To Save Energy and Boost Throughput

CHALLENGE

Replace original heat exchangers used as condensers and vent condensers for ethanol, syrup, methanol and turbine exhaust steam with exchangers that attain complete condensation.

SOLUTION

Either SUPERCHANGE®R Plate And Frame Heat Exchangers or SUPERMAX® Shell And Plate Heat Exchangers.

RESULTS

  • Better throughput.
  • Impressive energy savings.
  • Improved efficiency and faster response.

A Tranter SUPERCHANGER® Plate Heat Exchanger with wide-gap plates configured as a condenser liquifies 95% ethanol vapor from the distillation column. Plates in a wide/narrow arrangement balance the flow rate in the cooling liquid and ethanol vapor channels.
