The main benefits are:
• Self-cleaning effect in each channel
• Compact-size unit
• No dead zone in the channels
• Robustness (high pressure and temperature)
• Works in difficult operational conditions of fatigue, erosion, and with fouling fluids
The Steam/Heater Spiral Plate Heat Exchanger or SPHE is commonly used to heat fouling, viscous fluids by using steam. The steam circulates in an opened channel on the complete width of the unit (cross flow) and the heavy fluids circulate in spiral flow in the second channel to get best of the SPHE specific self cleaning effect. Anyhow, this channel can be easily inspected and eventually cleaned by simply opening the cover.
Refinery, Oil & gas, Petrochemicals, coke oven gas, steel, mining, pulp & paper, municipal and industrial wastewater treatment…All fluid types containing fiber, particles, sludges, and other viscous or abrasive media.
It is Possible to use it as:
• To heat a fouling fluid by means of steam on the shell side
