Green Energy
Platecoils® make excellent green energy heat exchangers — your practical choice for renewable energy service. With temperature approaches in the 1–2°F range, plate HEs take better advantage of lower-grade waste heat than S&Ts. And, they are easier to clean, take up less space and require lighter support structures. Multiple designs offer the versatility to answer your application needs.

Acid Hydrolysis Cellulosic Cooking
Heated vessels in this continuous process can be fabricated using PLATECOIL® heating banks as immersion heaters. These include both first- and second-stage hydrolysis vessels and the acid reconcentrator tower. PLATECOIL® banks can also be configured as air heaters in systems such as the biomass dryer.
PLATECOIL® banks find widespread use in tank heating, flue gas cooling and heat recovery.
