The global demand for energy shows no signs of slowing down. Businesses in every industry seek new ways to increase their process efficiency while keeping energy costs down. Plate heat exchangers have been used in process heating and cooling for more than 60 years.

At pulp-and-paper mills, drying the paper products is an integral component in producing the highest quality paper possible. The drying process consumes more than 60 percent of the total energy demands of the papermaking process.

Secondary and even tertiary energy-recovery systems for thermal oxidation systems help reduce energy costs. Securing a more cost-efficient operation is an ongoing objective; however, energy-recovery systems are not simply off-the-shelf, bolt-on packages with a plug-and-play manual.

Company designs, manufactures and installs energy-recovery systems that decrease energy consumption and reduce operating costs.

Responding to demand for water pollution technologies, Milwaukee-based Anguil Environmental created a new water treatment division.

To reduce operating costs, energy conservation and heat recovery should be paramount to the configuration of any unit operation — especially thermal drying.

Energy service outsourcing allows large facilities to contract out the management of one or more energy functions such as steam, water treatment or compressed air activities.

Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group Inc., a subsidiary of Babcock & Wilcox Co., has signed a definitive agreement to acquire industrial processes solutions provider Megtec based on an enterprise value of $155 million, subject to adjustment for Megtec’s cash and indebtedness and certain other closing items.

Free cooling chillers are suited for production facilities that must be cooled while outdoor temperatures are low.
