Improve efficiency with Tranter heat exchangers

Heat Exchangers for Renewable Fuels & Chemicals

Bio-ethanol

Turning biomass into fuels and chemicals demands more than a standard heat exchanger. Fermentation streams foul quickly, digesters need stable heat, and ethanol production is energy-intensive at every step. 

Because of this, Tranter heat exchangers are designed to go above and beyond — with geometries that keep fibrous streams flowing, alloys for aggressive process media, and compact, service-friendly frames that cut downtime.

Renewable fuels and chemicals

Reliable thermal solutions for renewable fuels

Keeping fouling under control

Plate geometries that handle fibrous, solids-heavy biomass streams, extending uptime across fermentation, digestion, and conversion processes.

Cutting energy intensity

Our heat exchangers recover more heat, lowering steam and fuel demand in one of the most energy-hungry industries.

Communication

Designs that last

Stainless and alloy plates resist the acids, solvents, and harsh chemicals common in biomass conversion.

Budgetary-constraints

Fit tomorrow’s plants

Compact, modular exchangers that simplify skid design and retrofits, making scale-up easier.

Renewable-fules

Service that secures uptime

OEM support, rapid spares, and local service centers keep renewable plants running without costly interruptions.

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.
