Pigging refers to the process of using devices called "pigs" to clean, inspect, or maintain pipelines. While pigging is most commonly associated with pipelines, the process can also be applied in other contexts. For example, pigging systems can be used in various processing equipment such as reactors and heat exchangers to clean or remove residues. Pigging is also used to clean pipes that transport liquids like juices, milk, or beer, ensuring product quality and minimizing waste. And chemical facilities use pigging to maintain pipelines that transport corrosive or hazardous materials and minimize waste.

Many commercial oil press machines have a similar anatomy.   Gearbox, shaft, screw, seed hopper, and oil canals.   If you’re new to the oil processing industry or just need a refresher on the fundamentals, visit our blog.   Our latest article explains all things expeller press. . . #expellerpress #oilexpellermachine #oilseedprocessing #screwpress #mechanicalextraction

Evaporation At first glance, I misunderstood this little quotation from “Introduction to Chemical Engineering.” It goes like this, “An evaporator is a piece of equipment in which a liquid is boiled.” Huh, say what? Evaporation is not the same as boiling, or at least I didn’t think so. It seemed to me that evaporation is when a liquid becomes a vapor even though is way below the boiling temperature of the liquid.  I googled evaporation as a function of boiling and got this, “Evaporation is a normal process that occurs when the liquid form changes into the gaseous form; while causing an increase in the pressure or temperature. Boiling is an unnatural process where the liquid gets heated up and vaporized due to continuous heating of the liquid.” And I suspect this is pretty close to what all of us think. But since we are now here let us discuss evaporators. Some evaporator types are heated by direct fire, others in steam jackets, and others have horizontal tubes like heat exchangers. In a standard vertical tube evaporator, the steam is supplied outside the tubes and the liquid runs through the vertical tubes. Heat transfer takes place through the tubes and the liquid inside the tubes gets heated. The solvent evaporates and the vapor escapes from the top. But the problem with the vertical tube evaporator is that the tubes are very long. Higher pressure drops through the tubes than in a falling-liquid evaporator. A high liquid head at the bottom of the tubes may increase product temperature which will result in temperature-sensitivity problems. The steam-jacketed kettle or evaporating pan is equipment that can be used for the bulk evaporation of water from water-laden liquids. It is constructed in the form of a hemispherical-shaped shell usually made of stainless steel that includes an inner pan or ‘kettle’ and an exterior pan or ‘jacket’. Steam flows through the enclosed area between the outer and inner pans at a low pressure. The high-temperature steam causes heat to pass through the inner pan, by conduction, to whatever solution is to be evaporated.

😀 "Thanks to your guys' hard work and products,I can solve the project problem now."said by a German customers,Philip. At the first,we just picked up a strange phone call. 😀 "Can you guys improve the anti-corrosion ability of the steel pipes?""What kind of liquid do you want to deliver with the pipeline?"“An acid with a concentration of . . .”“That's not a big question,we can do it with #PTFElinedpipes.” After listening to my answer,he immediately ordered a plane ticket to China and arrived here after 2 days.By the end,it just took half a day to confirm the order between us.That's really an interesting experience. At last,I asked him,what is the point that you decided to order from us? 😎 "When I first learned about the price of the product, I thought it was very expensive. But after seeing the samples and production lines, I knew I had found the right factory." #teflonlinedpipes #pipeline #chemicalplant

#TITANMADE Kettle-style boiler. This is a small example of a kettle-style reboiler. Kettle reboilers are a type of heat exchanger commonly used in industrial processes, particularly in distillation systems, to supply the heat necessary for vaporizing a portion of the liquid mixture at the bottom of a distillation column. The reboiler heats the liquid, generating vapor, which rises into the distillation column to maintain the separation of components. Contact us for more information on your specific needs!

Understanding #MetalDegreasing: The Key to Optimal Performance and Longevity. Metal degreasing is a critical process in the manufacturing and maintenance of metal components, aimed at removing residual grease, oil, and other contaminants. This process ensures that metal parts function efficiently and remain durable over time. While it might seem like a simple cleaning task, metal degreasing is far more complex. It requires the expertise of specialised professionals to ensure every oily molecule is eliminated, leaving the metal surface impeccably clean.
