Recover Lost Heat Back Into the Process
After starch is heated with direct steam under pressure, it is relaxed in a cyclone; the expansion steam and heat energy released at this stage would normally escape into the atmosphere. GAW's compact, modular heat recovery system recovers this energy through a heat exchanger and feeds it back into the Jet Cooker inlet.
This reduces the direct steam demand, delivering energy savings of over 50% while lowering operating costs.
Working Principle
- Starch is heated with direct steam under pressure
- The heated mixture is relaxed in a cyclone
- The released expansion steam is passed through a heat exchanger
- The recovered energy is fed into the Jet Cooker inlet
- Direct steam demand and energy costs are reduced
Advantages
- Over 50% energy savings
- Climate-friendly, low carbon footprint
- Compact, modular design — easy integration
- Cost reduction
