New Product Cleans and Prevents Stripper Heat Exchanger Deposition Leading to Significant Cost Savings

GoalClean and prevent stripper heat exchanger deposition and reduce costs.

<h6>Customer Challenge</h6> <p>A Southern U.S. pulp mill producing 2850 TPD of brown pulp was having deposition issues in the stripper heat exchanger forcing the mill to change the plate and frame exchanger every 6-7 days to maintain environmental compliance and system efficiency.</p> <h6>Recommended Solution</h6> <p>Solenis proposed a treatment program comprising the application of Infinity PK2825 to the heat exchanger feed to clean up the deposition and regain system performance.</p> <h6>Results Achieved</h6> <p>Infinity PK2825 was applied to the stripped condensate going into the heat exchanger at 24 ppm to a dirty system.&nbsp; In the first month, the mill has since avoided four exchanger replacements and continues to run without issue.&nbsp; Flow and heat transfer coefficient have improved and remain in good operating ranges.&nbsp; Each heater swap was costing the mill $20K, so monthly savings are approximately $60K after program costs.</p> <p><img style="max-width: 100%; width: auto; height: auto;" src="/link/b2bbad234b2a480ea31e0c5790f63f3c.aspx" alt="" width="1970" height="1145" /></p>
