Overview
Optimizing back set heating is a critical yet sometimes overlooked opportunity for ethanol producers to enhance efficiency and boost profitability. Inconsistent mash temperatures within the slurry blender or tank can disrupt the cooking process, waste energy, and affect operational costs.
Address these challenges and more with Direct Steam Injection (DSI) heaters and our expert support to:
- Raise the back set temperature to achieve uniform mash temperature throughout the slurry blender/tank
- Reduce energy and enzyme usage through precise and accurate temperature control
- Decrease load demands on other equipment while delivering consistent temperature set points
- Improve energy efficiency by integrating with the plant’s steam condensate system for optimal steam utilization
Hydroheater®
Also known as the Jetcooker™, our Hydroheater® has the longest proven history of heating and processing a complex range of liquids and materials. Known for its adjustability, durability, and power, the near century of engineering and innovation behind the design of this workhorse speaks for itself.
- Volume capability: 1 up to 6,700 gpm [0.2 up to 1,522 m³/hr]
NOH™ (Non-Obstructing Heater)
The Non-Obstructing Heater is rugged enough to handle even the toughest abrasive materials, like sand and grit, to fibrous materials and large particulates.
- Its non-obstructive design protects against plugging, fouling, and pressure drop with its powerful, unrestricted flow.
- Volume capability: 30 up to 3,035 gpm [6.8 up to 689 m³/hr]
Solaris®
Perfect for viscous slurries, the Solaris® heater features an optimized straight-through design and low shear flow perfect for heavy slurries with medium consistency or higher solid contents. The flow diffuser injects steam across the entire cross-section to ensure thorough mixing and a uniform temperature profile even at a high volume and flow rate.
- Volume capability: 5 up to 25,000 gpm [1 up to 5,678 m³/hr]
EZ Heater®
The EZ Heater® is the industry leader in all hot water applications with its unique internal modulation, and self-cleaning ability. With on-demand hot water where you need it, the EZ Heater is ideal for washing stations, Clean in Place (CIP) systems, and anywhere reliable hot water is needed.
- Volume capability: 2 up to 1,350 gpm [.5 up to 306 m3/hr]
