Specialty Chemical Plant, Jacketed Kettle Heating for Reactor and Stripper

A specialty chemical plant was in need of consistent hot water temperatures at various flow rates on four jacketed vessels in their reactor and stripper processes. They needed:

  • To replace a failing Pick heater due to hard water fouling
  • To lower repair costs and downtime
  • Instant hot water on demand at the required temperatures at various flow rates

Design Conditions

Water Flow Rate: 400 gpm
Water Inlet Temperature: 150°F
Water Outlet Temperature: 205°F
Target Mix Temperature: 200°F
Water Inlet Pressure: 50 psig
