Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers for Alcohol Distillation & Processing

Our robust and efficient shell and tube heat exchangers are specifically designed for the demanding applications of alcohol distillation and processing. Built to withstand the corrosive nature of various alcohols and the high temperatures involved, these exchangers ensure optimal heat transfer and long-term reliability.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Corrosion Resistance: Constructed from high-grade stainless steel (316L or other specified alloys) to resist corrosion from various alcohols, including ethanol, methanol, and isopropyl alcohol. This minimizes maintenance and extends the lifespan of the exchanger.
• Optimized Heat Transfer: Our carefully engineered design maximizes heat transfer efficiency, leading to lower energy consumption and improved process performance. This includes optimized tube configurations, baffle designs, and fluid flow patterns tailored to your specific application.
• Customizable Designs: Available in a wide range of sizes and configurations to meet your specific flow rates, temperature requirements, and pressure needs. We offer custom solutions for complex process integration.
• Easy Maintenance: Designed for easy access to internal components, facilitating cleaning, inspection, and maintenance. This reduces downtime and maintains operational efficiency.
• High Pressure Capability: We can supply exchangers capable of handling high pressures, common in many industrial alcohol processing applications.
• Temperature Control: Precise temperature control is achievable through various options, including multiple tube passes and external temperature regulation systems.
• Compliance: Manufactured to meet all relevant industry standards and regulations for safety and performance.

Applications:

• Alcohol Distillation: Efficiently heat or cool alcohol vapors during the distillation process.
• Alcohol Rectification: Precise temperature control for the separation and purification of alcohol fractions.
• Alcohol Mixing & Blending: Controlled temperature mixing of different alcohol types and concentrations.
• Alcohol Pasteurization: Gentle heating and cooling to pasteurize alcoholic beverages.
• Other Alcohol Processing Applications: Suitable for a wide range of processes involving the heating and cooling of alcohols in industrial settings.
