Ethanol Industry

Pick Heaters has decades of experience in starch cooking, and even more experience as the originators of Direct Steam Injection Heating.

A Pick Direct Steam Injection Heater provides instantaneous and complete cooking of cornstarch mash during the liquefaction process of ethanol production. The open design of the heater allows slurry flow without obstruction, at practically no pressure drop.

Where else is Pick used?

In addition to mash cooking, Pick Heaters can be used in the following applications within an ethanol plant:

• Process Make-up Water for Mash Tanks
• Hot Water Make-up for Yeast Tanks
• Clean-in-Place (CIP) for Fermenters and Process Tanks
• Plant Washdown- Hose Stations
• Any Other Heating Requirements

Need an unlimited supply of hot water and precise temperature control for your plant hose stations? The Pick Variable Flow Heater provides a central heating system requiring only one hot water line for multipe use points. This saves money on equipment and installation. In addition, no operator adjustments at point of use eliminates the risk and cost of overheating or inefficient underheating.
