Improve Throughput And Reduce Maintenance Burdens With Solvent Condensers

CHALLENGE

Find replacements for shell and tube heat exchangers that improve performance and efficiency with batch reactors using one or more organic solvents and multiple condensers (primary and secondary condensers and vent condensers).

SOLUTION

Tranter SUPERMAX Shell And Plate Heat Exchangers.

RESULTS

Compared with the shell and tube exchangers, the Tranter SUPERMAX Shell And Plate Exchangers are providing:

• Lower purchase price
• Reduced structural steel requirements
• Faster response (shorter vaporization/ condensation cycle time)
• Higher plant capacity or throughput
• Reduced maintenance burdens, since pulling long tube bundles has been replaced by pulling short SUPERMAX cores when cleaning is necessary.
