Heat exchanger cleaning
Submitted by paulb on Thu, 10/30/2014 - 11:38
The application is to heat 'digestat' from a fermentation tank to 73°C so that this digestat is sterilised and can be further used as fertiliser.
The unit is cleaned on a routine basis every Saturday and the cleaning time is around 25 minutes. The heat transfer area is 40 M².
The feedback to the fermentation tank is food residue collected from restaurants, food shops, etc.
The gap between the plates on the digestat is 12mm only and is wide enough to ensure a perfect cleaning accessibility and efficiency.
