Heat exchangers are crucial to many processes in the water industry, in aerobic or anaerobic digestion plant, for cooling or evaporation, and for sludge concentration. Choosing the right heat exchanger can appear daunting, and maximising productivity is essential. WHAT IS PRODUCTIVITY? Productivity is measured by the ratio of output per unit of input. Many water…

HRS Heat Exchangers has created its unique R Series of rotating scraped surface heat exchangers from scratch to provide excellent heat transfer and performance. The range R Series of heat exchangers was designed without reference to existing types of scraped surface heat exchangers (SSHE). As a result, the HRS R Series of SSHEs boasts a…

There are numerous uses for heat exchangers in breweries, from cooling, pasteurising and fermenting products, through to efficiently dealing with waste streams such as yeast slurry. Compared to other methods of heating, heat exchangers can be much more energy efficient, providing both environmental and economic benefits. One of the first uses of heat exchangers in…
