Chemical Industry
The complete range of products for the chemical industry
Gasketed and fully welded plate heat exchangers by GEA PHE Systems do a great job throughout the chemical industry – guaranteeing good chemistry at all times in these industries:
- Chemical processing
- textile
- petrochemical
our plate heat exchangers bring any product to the right temperature anywhere, quickly and reliably.
Petrochemical industry
In the production of plastics, varnishes and detergents, etc., the petrochemical industry places its trust in our powerful and lasting system solutions. Plate heat exchangers by GEA PHE Systems are tight and safe, no matter how aggressive the products are. Our PHEs have proved their worth even with sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, caustic soda and bleaching lye.
Textile industry
In the textile industry, plate heat exchangers by GEA PHE Systems ensure that the processing of all fibers and materials can be continued quickly and efficiently.
Latex pre-heating
The concentration process of partly polymerized latex dispersion involves the risk that products will stick to the heat exchanger wall, thus reducing the heat transfer. The optimized design of GEA PHE Systems plate heat exchangers offers a special solution for this fouling problem.
Mining
In mining, our units are successfully used in the copper extraction process for sulphuric acid cooling. Application includes not only cooling/heating of highly concentrated acids, but also gas purification of weak acids.
