The main challenges in this sector
The main challenges in this sector
High thermal loads under harsh chemical conditions
Ammonia processes operate at high temperatures and pressures with corrosive by-products. Heat exchangers must resist chemical attack while maintaining stable performance.
Minimizing pressure drop and maximizing efficiency
Energy-intensive steps like condensation and stripping demand exchangers with low pressure loss and excellent heat transfer coefficients.
Handling fouling from wastewater streams
Treated ammonia-rich effluents can contain fibers, solids, or scaling agents. Equipment must allow high uptime and be easy to clean or self-cleaning.
Compact systems with high duty
Space constraints and energy optimization require compact, high-efficiency systems capable of processing large flows with minimal footprint.
Our involvement in the sector
Nexson and thermowave provide heat exchangers adapted to the specific requirements of ammonia handling, from upstream recovery to downstream treatment. Our robust technologies offer thermal precision, fouling resistance, and easy maintenance.
Smart, compact exchangers for demanding ammonia applications
Gasket-free spiral exchangers for fouling streams
Spiral Plate Heat Exchangers (SPHE) offer reliable, leak-proof operation in ammonia-laden wastewater. Their wide, self-cleaning channels and fully welded design prevent leaks and blockages, making them ideal for handling fouling fluids.
Efficient energy recovery in stripping and condensation
SPHEs are designed to maximize thermal energy recovery from hot ammonia vapors and liquid effluents. This reduces steam consumption and lowers emissions, enhancing process efficiency.
Optimized design for low pressure drop
The spiral geometry and single flow channels optimize heat transfer while minimizing hydraulic losses. This design is well suited for vacuum conditions and systems requiring low energy consumption.
Reliable PHE solutions for utility circuits
thermowave Plate Heat Exchangers (PHE) provide fast maintenance and adaptability in ammonia cooling and heating loops. Their CIP-compatible design allows easy cleaning and inspection, ensuring long-term hygiene and dependable performance.
