Komax Systems, Inc. Launches a Jacketed Heat Exchanger for Sludge Heating



Wilmington, CA--Komax Systems, the leader in static mixer heat exchangers announces the release of a non-clogging high efficiency sludge heat exchanger.

This heat exchanger is based on the proven Hi-Pass(TM) non-clogging static mixer designed specifically for sludge and heavy slurry applications. Klean-Flow heat exchangers are designed with contoured elements to maximize heat transfer while eliminating corners that can trap solid or fibrous materials. This highly turbulent flow creates a scavenging environment, continually cleaning the walls of the pipe for maximum heat transfer. The Klean-Wall design will readily pass individual solid items with a nominal diameter up to ½ that of the tube diameters.

"This heat exchanger has proven itself in a wide range of municipal and industrial applications," said Robert Smith, President of Komax Systems. "Our best source of customers are those currently using spiral heat exchangers who are tired of messy clean-outs due to plugging or fouling and unplanned shutdowns".

The reliability and high efficiency of the Klean-Wall system have proven itself in demanding applications including municipal sludge digesters, biogas recovery, ethanol production and animal waste heat recovery. With up to 4 times the conductivity of conventional heat exchangers, the Klean-Wall system provides improved economies of operation and lower initial costs over the traditional spiral heat exchanger.
