Chemical processing has a wide range of applications, including conveyance lines, isolation containment, and fluid bed drying. This can result in condensation forming on the parts used in the process.
Chemical Processing Unit: To prevent this, humidity control measures must be implemented in the chemical processing unit.
Eliminating Condensation on Parts Used in Processing
Chemical processing has a wide range of applications, including conveyance lines, isolation containment, and fluid bed drying. During the processing of chemicals, high-temperature air streams are often required, which must be heated and cooled to achieve the desired finished product.
We offer solutions for hastened drying and achieving consistent drying outcomes to optimize processing in this industry. Our expertise can assist your business in preventing moisture reabsorption and consequent condensation on processed parts during extended storage.
Challenges we have encountered in this sector include inconsistent drying results in the
manufacturing process and production limitations due to environmental factors.
The process can potentially have adverse effects on the environment due to the significant amount of energy required.
Additionally, reabsorption of moisture in both short and long-term
storage and managing condensation on cooled parts are essential.
To prevent condensed water, steam extraction must be carefully controlled.
We apply our engineering expertise and skill set to either create new procedures or enhance existing ones. Our belief is that to provide effective support, it is crucial to understand our clients' businesses and processes.
In 2012, YTE was approached by a client who encountered a significant problem with the surrounding environment, resulting in a critical slowdown in productivity.
According to our inquiry, the primary concern was directly linked to the steam injection employed in the production process to activate an adhesive and sterilise the final product. Regrettably, the completed product retained moisture due to the steam, leading to condensation when cooled.
The customer had implemented extraction as a control method without adequate knowledge of psychometrics. Consequently, the outcome was a dehydrated process. Nonetheless, it resulted in drying times of over five days when utilizing ambient air.
In response, YTE suggested several inventive modifications to the process. This included the implementation of warm and extremely dry air to prevent condensation by retaining steam in its vapour phase.
Eliminating the production process's 5-day bottleneck has enabled our client to maintain a competitive edge against their rivals and for us to remain two steps ahead of ours.
