Acid Pickling

In the finishing process, cold-rolled steel is cleaned to remove impurities through a continuous acid pickling process. After the steel is cleaned in pickling baths, residual liqur is rinsed off through a series of spray bars. An instantaneous supply of hot water is required at a wide range of water flow rates depending on how many spray bars are being operated.

 

The Solution:

The Pick 6X150 Variable Flow Direct Steam Injection Heater, sized to handle between 50 – 280 gpm water flow at a 95°F temperature rise was selected. At a maximum steam load requirement of 11,500 lbs./hr., the Pick Heater will maintain 130°F water temperature on demand.

Features and Benefits:

• Instantaneous Supply of Hot Water
• Compact Size
• Accurate Temperature Control
