Overview
Ethanol producers often face significant challenges in maintaining consistent mash temperatures, particularly in the beer column, where temperature control is critical to the distillation process. Seasonal fluctuations, especially during harsh winter months, can make this task even more difficult, leading to inefficiencies, increased steam consumption, and costly downtime.
Hydro-Thermal’s non-shear heaters are strategically placed after the beer well and beer mash exchangers, but before the beer column to maximize the heating benefits.
Ensure that you always reach – and maintain – ideal mash temperature in beer columns, regardless of how cold it is outside with our patented Direct Steam Injection technology that delivers:
- Improved efficiency in distillation to help optimize your processes
- Reduced steam usage through evaporation and the sieve vaporizer
- Extended plant runs on the beer mash exchangers before needing to CIP, resulting in a reduction in chemical usage
- Precise temperature control that maintains consistent mash temperatures
