When operating in exceptionally challenging conditions, or handling difficult materials such as sewage and wastewater sludges, even the best designed heat exchangers will be susceptible to fouling. Understanding the different types of fouling and what causes them will help engineers and operators pick the best type of heat exchanger for their particular application and keep…

The first duty of any food or drink manufacturer is to supply its consumers with a product that is safe. Due to their organic nature, some of the most wholesome and natural products, such as milk, cheese, yoghurt, fruit and vegetables, and meat products are all subject to spoilage by biological organisms including bacteria and…

Since the first spiral heat exchanger was proposed back in the 19th century, they have become synonymous with the treatment of slurries and wastewater. However, in many situations the performance of a corrugated tube heat exchanger is equal to or better than that of a spiral design. Corrugated tube designs also provide a number of…

HRS Heat Exchangers, Booth 8512, WEFTEC 2019 HRS Heat Exchangers will highlight its extensive range of heat exchangers and treatment systems for wastewater and anaerobic digestion at the world’s largest annual water quality exhibition: WEFTEC, when it returns to Chicago, IL this September. In particular, HRS will address the prevention of fouling and how to…

HRS Heat Exchangers, Booth US-7465, PACK EXPO Las Vegas HRS Heat Exchangers will demonstrate at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, NV (Sept 23-25, 2019) how its 40 years’ experience in the food and drink sector has enabled it to develop complete turnkey solutions alongside its core range of heat exchangers for processes such as pasteurisation, sterilisation,…

No two industrial processes or production lines are the same. Companies and their engineers spend huge amounts of time and money developing the most efficient and practical way to achieve their individual objectives. Specifying off the shelf equipment for a customised process can therefore be counter-productive: bespoke can often be a more cost-effective option. In…

Wastewater, sewage, effluents and sludge are useful sources of energy with the potential to heat (or in some circumstances cool) other products or materials in industrial processes. The DTR Series of double tube heat exchangers from HRS is designed to maximise direct (product-to-product) energy recovery from such low viscosity materials, allowing valuable heat to be…

Liquid and semi-liquid waste streams are an unavoidable aspect of many industrial processes, from energy production to food manufacturing; from chemical processing to wastewater treatment; systems which can reduce the volume and water content of such waste streams can not only cut disposal costs, but often turn a waste into a potentially valuable resource. Evaporation…

HRS Heat Exchangers, Stand B30, FoodTech Qld 2019 c From stand-alone heat exchangers, such as the M Series, for food products with low or medium viscosity, to packaged pasteuriser/sterilisers which integrate aseptic filling or other processes, HRS has a solution for everything – from simple liquids to complex and viscous recipes including particles and pieces….

Ready Foods, a US manufacturer of soups and sauces, has cut the time it takes to chill one of its core products by a third, thanks to a turnkey cooling system from HRS Heat Exchangers that is ideal for viscous materials. After receiving a large order for one of its meat marinades from a leading…
