Heat exchangers for the chemical industry

CHEMICAL INDUSTRY HEAT EXCHANGERS, THE ESSENTIAL OF A CRITICAL SECTOR Heat exchangers in the chemical industry are necessary to support multiple processes, many of which are essential for producing other products such as plastics, pharmaceuticals, agricultural, sanitary, or textile products. When we talk about the chemical industry, we refer to one of the largest and most diversified in the world, with a wide variety of processes and technologies among which we highlight finned tube exchangers, pillow plate exchangers and immersed heat exchangers. If this industry is essential, heat exchangers are essential because they cover needs such as: 1. Cool the distillates. 2. Cool leached liquids. 3. Recover and reuse condensed steam. 4. Control exothermic reactions. 5. Recover heat and save energy. 6. Cool products and processes. Heat exchangers for the chemical industry Gas heat recovery Heat recuperator that economizes with the use of exhaust gases from boilers, turbines or combustion engines used for example in cogeneration. More efficiency and less emissions. Counter flow heat exchanger Cross-flow heat exchanger, usually between a stream of fumes or gases and another of air, without them mixing. With a design that is easy to clean and maintain. It is ideal for the energy, oil and gas sector. Steam heat exchanger Coil of tubes designed to convert saturated or wet steam into dry, superheated steam, usually by steam turbines for electricity generation. They can withstand temperatures of up to 950ºC.

Paper industry heat exchangers

PAPER INDUSTRY HEAT EXCHANGERS DRYING AND SAVING IN THE PAPER INDUSTRY The heat exchanger for the paper and cellulose industry is designed to obtain this valuable material which, since time immemorial, has been used for study and the dissemination of knowledge. From papyrus and parchment to modern paper, the paper industry has required processes such as drying, which over the years has been refined to advanced machinery and processes that use our steam heat exchangers (flash steam and live steam), superheated water heat exchangers, and thermal oil heat exchangers. Our thermal transfer devices are part of the system used not only for drying but also for energy recovery in a sector where, being an energy-intensive industry, it is particularly important to make it profitable and minimize its environmental impact. We also contribute to water treatment. Let’s take a closer look: 1. Paper drying is done by different methods such as steam heated cylinders or hot air curtains. At this point BOIXAC intervenes with equipment such as finned heat exchangers, designed to withstand high pressures and corrosive environments such as cellulose and steam. 2. Energy recovery is essential in a paper industry that requires large amounts of energy. The steam from the cylinders that can be used for the drying process can come from a boiler. Here BOIXAC specializes in cross-flow, air-to-air or air-to-exhaust gas exchangers, which manage to pre-heat the inlet air of the boilers, thus minimizing their consumption. An essential factor for optimizing environmental responsibility and aligning with the European Green Pact. 3. The treatment of wastewater from the cleaning and drying process is important in order to ensure a certain temperature that allows the correct chemical and biological processing. With our heat and fluid exchange coils, suitable for fluids with solid contents, we control the temperature of the water in the tanks as well as their energy recovery. Solutions made of noble materials resistant to demanding environments, with openings for easy inspection and sanitation. Heat exchanger for the paper industry Boiler economizer Heat recovery for boiler exhaust gases, ideal for working with thermal oil, superheated water or steam. Exhaust gases heat exchanger Heat exchanger for exhaust gases, even in dirty environments, preheating clean air and optimizing energy efficiency in the paper industry. Helical fins heat exchanger Finned heat exchanger to heat the paper during the drying process, either by hot air injection or by Yankee or multiple cylinders.
