Pick "BX" Starch Liquefaction Cooker

Get more efficient ethanol production through Pick process heating solutions. The key advantages you get with a Pick Steam Injection Liquid Heating System are:

Low Pressure Drop
Allows use of plant low-pressure steam off of turbine exhaust or vented from evaporators, an efficiency that saves energy. Use of waste steam eliminates additional ventilation systems and the need for environmental permits.

Non-Plugging
The BX open design allows continuous flow through the heater body and optimum interface with steam. Temperature set point is achieved while maintaining product consistency.

Low-Velocity Mixing
The Pick Heater does not rely on high liquid and steam velocity for mixing to occur. Steam is fully condensed within the heater body, not in downstream piping. The result is smooth operation with no straight-run piping requirements.
