“Steam hammer” is avoided, along with the inherent noise and vibrations in the system. The system runs quietly and vibration free – something not possible with sparge systems.
With the elimination of vibrations and rumblings, associated piping and surrounding equipment are not subject to the constant stressing and flexing that can lead to premature failure. Tank life and the life of insulation and protective coatings is prolonged
No need for the additional process piping or re-circulation pump required with using externally mounted direct steam injection heating devices.
The heaters offer a high degree of process control and have high turndown ratios. Steam can be added much more rapidly than with a sparger, resulting in shorter heat-up time and increased productivity.
The Q-Jet tank heaters mount directly into the side of the vessel, freeing up floor space. The penetration into the tank is minimal, so that interference with mixers is eliminated.
The heater can be removed from outside the vessel, eliminating the need to enter the vessel for routine inspection and servicing. This eliminates the need for “confined space entry.”
Quality is built into every step – from fabrication using close tolerance machined parts – through to final testing under the provisions of our ISO 9001 Certified Quality Program.
The most important advantage of all. Our years of experience in the design, fabrication, and testing of process heating and cooking devices for the pulp, paper, and chemical process industries insures the perfect ‘match’ between the heating system and your process requirements.
