Webcast: Energy Efficiency -- Bulk Solids Cooling & Heating

Nov. 21, 2010
Watch this on-demand event to learn about recent developments in heat exchange technology.

Chemical Processing, in partnership with Solex Thermal Science, hosted an online event that addressed new methods of cooling bulk solids.

Watch this on-demand event -- Energy Efficiency -- Bulk Solids Cooling & Heating.

For the past 50 years the technology used for cooling bulk solids has changed very little. Traditional methods of cooling bulk solids rely on rudimentary processes, such as blowing large volumes of air across a bed of bulk solids product. These methods of cooling are often highly inefficient, produce large volumes of dust and emissions and offer limited process control. Recent developments in heat exchange technology, like indirect plate-cooling technology, are proving to be highly efficient, while offering other benefits such as precise process control and operating with zero emissions. This webinar provides:

  • quantitative analysis of energy costs comparing indirect cooling technology to traditional method of cooling bulk solids
  • an introduction to how indirect plate-cooling technology works for cooling or heating bulk solids
  • an understanding of how indirect cooling technology can provide exact process control in the bulk solids cooling or heating process
