A power plant was looking to improve their lime slaking process for flue gas desulphurization and cleaning. They needed to: instantly meet and maintain precise temperature control for proper mixing of slurry, increase production with reduced cycle times, and reduce energy costs.
Flow Rate:
80-110 GPM [22-30 m³/hr]
Inlet Temperature:
33-75°F [1-24°C]
Discharge Temperature:
80-95°F [27-35°C]
Target Mix Temperature:
60°F [16°C]
Water Inlet Pressure:
135 PSIG [9.3 barg]
SOLUTION
Hydro-Thermal’s EZ Heater model H2020 EHS System was installed in this facility for the slaker water heating process.
Installation of the unit has proven the inherent advantages of its design with:
• Better product quality with precise temperature control
• Instantaneous hot water on demand with adjustable flow rates
• Increased production time due to faster product heating
• 28% time and energy savings compared to previous heating technologies
GOAL
• Precise temperature control
• Reduce cycle times
• Reduce energy costs
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• Precise temperature control
• Hot water on demand
• Increased production
• 28% more time and energy savings
