Nitrogen And Syngas Exchangers

Challenge

To save space, improve process and reduce maintenance in critical heat exchanger duties:

Tranter SUPERMAX® Shell & Plate Heat Exchangers in ammonia, nitric acid and urea manufacturing.

A smaller footprint, lower cost and simplified mechanical cleanability as desulfurization and CO2 capture lean/rich interchangers
Smaller footprint and a significant improvement in the temperature approach of 9°C (16°F) as 4-unit, manifolded, multi-pass, high-pressure condensate preheaters vs. triple series-piped shell & tube heat exchangers
Improved product life as weak nitric acid coolers (compared to shell & tube units)
Better leak resistance as ammonia stripper vent condensers (compared to block-type welded exchangers)
Reduced maintenance burdens
