Work in Femsa’s high pressure compressor room

At Flowproen we are working at the Femsa Plant (Monte Grande, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina) in the auxiliary services sector of the plant, to audit and detect improvements in the reduction of operating costs and emissions to the environment.

The objective of the work is to survey the process and propose improvements to the installations of the different services (water, steam, effluents, air, among others)

Flowproen’s team is performing analysis, evaluation and implementation work to meet the project objectives. Providing technical assistance, advising our client to ensure a correct implementation.

Once the work is completed, we deliver a detailed technical report with the improvement proposals at the process level, with the preparation of complete P&ID drawings.

Thank you Femsa for trusting Flowproen to provide energy saving and environmental care solutions.

Heat recovery from dust-loaded exhaust air. “Process Therm”

Process Therm recovers heat from dust-loaded air. The recovered heat is typically used for pre-heating incoming air, but can also be used to produce for example district heating. Process Therm can be installed in new plants or easily retrofitted into existing plants.

The open space between the thermo plates ensures that the Process Therm manages the dust-loaded air well, and that the unit can be run at a low air pressure drop(< 500 Pa). Condensation of moisture increases the amount of recovered heat and thereby gives you a faster return on investment.

The CIP nozzles on top of the exchanger ensure that plates are easy to clean without expensive interruptions during production.

Flowproen can deliver anything from a single Process Therm unit to a complete package including transition pieces, pre-heater and pump station for the circulation water.

We can also advise on other purposes of Process Therm like the production of district heating.

Product advantage: 

Maintenance-free in dust loaded air.

No expensive interruptions since cleaning takes place during production through CIP system.

Faster return on investment.

Low maintenance cost.

Compact design and simple installation.

Good thermal operating efficiency due to high heat transfer coefficients.

Enhanced heat recovery through condensation of moisture.

Long life due to stable and durable corrosion resistant materials.

Air flow from 000 to 300.000 kg/h.

Heat duty from 50 kW to 10 MW.

Fields of application: 

All processes with the presence of large amounts of dust in the discharge air (such as spray dryers)

For example in food, chemical, wood, paper and textile industries.

Food & Beverage.

This is the well-known process to sterilize the beverage. Heat it up to certain temperature and hold it to sterilize for a period (usually a few seconds to a minute) After that, it goes to be cooled down. Not only for the beverage, milk, milk product, soya, sauce, liquid, sugar, alcohol and any other liquor has also the same application.

We offer solutions to our customer’s needs.

Dos empresas trabajaron juntas para logar un gran caso de éxito relacionado al ahorro energético. La empresa Ardal S.A. especializada en la fabricación de ladrillos de Hormigón Celular Curado en Autoclave (HCCA) marca Retak® ubicada en Victoria – Provincia de Entre Ríos – Argentina, presento la necesidad de contar con una solución para el aprovechamiento energético. Flowproen especializada en la provisión de equipos industriales que tienen como objetivo la reducción de costos y la optimización de dichos procesos, analizo la situación con el cliente para entender sus necesidades y presento un Skid de recuperación de calor FLOW 250/ST CW Automatic el cual le trajo grandes beneficios a Ardal. ¿Por qué Ardal contacto a Flowproen? Ardal había identificado un punto importante de aprovechamiento energéticos, pero había cuestiones técnicas por definir por lo cual optaron por contactarse con Flowproen. El cliente nos comentó que anteriormente no contaban con un equipo de aprovechamiento energético y que hace algunos años atrás intentaron aprovechar la energía del vapor exhausto utilizando una serpentina diseñada y fabricada en su taller, la cual solo funcionó 6 meses, retirándola del proceso porque la erosión que estaba sometida termino por destruir el equipamiento. Características diferenciales del Skid de recuperación de calor. El cliente quedo asombrado por las características y beneficios del Skid recuperación de calor FLOW 250/ST CW Automatic y nos comentó cual fueron a su entender los 3 puntos mas importantes. “Resaltó la calidad de los elementos de control utilizados, válvulas, sensores, motor entre otros.  Nos comento que el PLC responde ante cualquier parámetro que se dispare corrigiendo con rapidez. Enfatizó que el Skid se ha vuelto un elemento fundamental del sistema, porque no genera fallas y opera de manera muy precisa. Por último, remarcó el tamaño del intercambiador por ser muy compacto, pero tiene una alta capacidad de transferencia. Es un equipo de dimensiones acotadas que se adapta fácilmente, gracias a venir montado en un Skid.“ Beneficios obtenidos por el cliente luego de la implementación del Skid de recuperación de calor. El cliente destaco la reducción en el consumo de gas desde la puesta en marcha y durante los meses siguientes. (Según sus registros se ha reducido el consumo alrededor de un 9,7 %) Afirmo que ese valor representa un costo monetario considerable y que aporta al repago del equipo. Nos explicó que, al aumentar la temperatura del agua de ingreso de caldera, no solo se favorece la tasa de evaporación, ayudando a la recuperación en momentos de alto consumo de vapor, sino que además se eliminan las vibraciones en la caldera. El agua ingresa con un porcentaje menor de oxígeno disuelto y por consecuencia se reduce el consumo de químicos en el tratamiento de agua de alimentación de caldera.   Resultados finales ⦁             Ahorro del 9,7% de Gas natural. ⦁             Reducción de 301,6 Tn/Año en emisión de CO2 ⦁             Periodo de repago (payback) de inversión total menor a 20 meses.

Energy generation.

While LNG is gasified to use as a fuel, LNG is heated up by burning itself. Focusing on the latent heat of LNG, this heat can generate chilled water. Of course no longer burner is required. This idea is applicable not only for LNG, but also LN2, LHe, etc.
