Joint Development Agreement (JDA) between AkzoNobel and KLAREN.
Multi-Stage Flash / Fluidised Bed Evaporator (MSF/FBE): A resurrection in thermal seawater desalination.
Many of the early installed self-cleaning heat exchangers have shown long and fascinating operating records, and some of them are still doing well.
Self-cleaning heat transfer in the tubes and grid baffles in the shell: A fascinating combination for severely fouling heat transfer.
KLAREN compact self-cleaning heat exchange technology,....a case study.
Orders, prospects and possibilities.
Excellent results achieved with very viscous non-Newtonian slurries.
Low fouling crude oil preheaters employing the compact KLAREN self-cleaning heat exchange principle in the tubes and grid baffles in the shell.
Global savings on fouling cost and energy cost easily amount to $ 20 billion per year at a crude oil price of $ 140 per barrel and a refinery margin of only $ 2 per barrel.
Air coolers on offshore platforms should be replaced by direct seawater cooling using KLAREN self-cleaning heat exchangers.
“Indirect heating using KLAREN self-cleaning heat exchangers in High-Pressure-Acid-Leach (HPAL) plants cannot longer be ignored”.
The above statement reflected the opinion of experts attending the presentation of Dr. Dick G. Klaren at ALTA 2008 in Perth, W.A., where he explained his ideas regarding the application of indirectly heated self-cleaning slurry heat exchangers in existing or newly to build HPAL plants for the extraction of nickel and cobalt from laterite ore slurries.
Comparison ‘heap leach’ versus ‘indirectly heated’ HPAL: An eye-opener.
Revamping conventional severely fouling heat exchangers opens a huge market for the KLAREN self-cleaning heat exchange technology.
What about wear of tubes and cleaning particles.
