Koch Knight LLC Introduces Flexisaddle(TM) LPDŽ Heat Transfer Media For RTO Applications In The Ethanol Industry
Offers 20 percent lower pressure drop than standard saddle media
ANTON, Ohio. - Koch Knight LLC, a leading innovator in corrosion proof materials and environmental heat transfer equipment, introduces FLEXISADDLE(TM) LPDŽ (Low Pressure Drop) 1" heat transfer media for regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) in the ethanol industry. FLEXISADDLE LPD provides low pressure drop and efficient heat transfer in a strong mechanical configuration, and it is ideal for applications where particulate build up has limited the service life of other media types in the past.
The high open area and aerodynamic design of the FLEXISADDLE LPD heat transfer media results in over 20% lower pressure drop than standard saddle media designs for the same heat transfer efficiency. The unique 3-rib design improves heat transfer through more efficient use of the media's surface area.
The FLEXISADDLE LPD provides a cost-effective solution for increasing RTO capacity and efficiency. The significant pressure drop savings offer the RTO designer lower fan costs or smaller units. For RTO operators, a retrofit with FLEXISADDLE LPD media will provide additional capacity or electrical savings with their current fan configuration.
In the ethanol industry, RTOs are instrumental in maintaining air quality standards by processing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into safe water vapor. FLEXISADDLE LPD is an effective and more cost efficient heat transfer material for these RTOs, compared to alternative structured packing, as it requires less start up time and costs three to five times less.
The strong, ceramic, 3-rib structure limits nesting and withstands rugged chamber loading better than other open design random media. FLEXISADDLE LPD thereby minimizes dead areas that collect particulate. As a result, particulate build-up is reduced by up to 40 percent, which translates into significantly longer operation between burn outs, wash outs, and change outs of the media.
FLEXISADDLE LPD is available in standard ceramic or in a high-performance glaze resistant construction that provides longer product life in applications at risk for alkali-glazing. In addition to FLEXISADDLE LPD, Koch Knight also offers a variety of high capacity structured media for the environmental market.
