Applications in the renewable fuels and chemicals industry
Biochemical production
Fermentation is highly sensitive to temperature swings. Tranter exchangers give you precise control to protect microbial and enzymatic activity, ensuring high yields and consistent quality.
Biogas production
In anaerobic digestion, stable heat means higher output. Our exchangers keep digesters within optimal temperature ranges, maximizing your gas yield while resisting fouling from fibrous feedstocks.
Ethanol production
From scarification to dehydration, your ethanol plant demands efficiency across multiple heating and cooling steps.
Tranter exchangers help you cut energy use and support reliable throughput at every stage.
Renewable fuels
We design our heat exchangers to handle challenging biomass streams while reducing lifecycle costs.
For you, that means fewer interruptions, lower emissions, and a stronger business case for sustainable energy.
