Application:
A corn-to-ethanol and biodiesel production facility located in the Midwest needed to heat a solution of distillers grain after it has been diluted and passed through several screens. Heating is essential for extracting valuable nutrients and resources from the spent grain. The heater feeds an insulated holding tank, which supplies a centrifuge that separates oils, solids, and water from the slurry.
Process Conditions:
Water Flow Rate: 20 - 40 GPM Temperature Rise: 50 - 80°F Water Pressure: 40 PSIG Steam Pressure: 110 PSIG Saturated Steam Flow: 1,400 lbs/hr
Solution:
A Pick Model 6X25-3BX Heater with an I-P and RTD for the customer to control though their DCS. The customer was easily able to include the heater to their skid along with valving to increase back pressure on the slurry before it is deposited into the tank. With this system the process is fully automated for the production facility.
