Moving-bed heat exchangers can help reduce the carbon footprint and energy costs of some process applications by capturing and repurposing heat that would otherwise be lost.
In many industrial processes, bulk granular solids undergo thermal treatment to meet or provide final product specifications. For example, calcination is a high temperature process that removes oxygen and volatiles to produce high quality cement and other refractory materials.
Vertical plate heat exchangers offer indirect heat transfer when heating, cooling or drying bulk solids. Because the two streams are separated, contamination does not occur.
The handling of bulk solids has been tossed around for decades — literally. From fertilizer to food products, sugar to sludge pellets, and coffee to catalysts, the practice of heating, cooling or drying has been a part of virtually every industry built around free-flowing materials since the Industrial Revolution.
