Secondary condenser of distillation column

Secondary condenser of distillation column cools distillation vapour to condense it into a liquid.

Bulk Conveying

Bulk Conveying uses air pressure to transport powders, granules, and other bulk materials through pipelines safely. Helical and bevel gearboxes are essential for bulk conveying as they enable efficient power transmission and speed reduction for equipment like conveyors, mixers, and elevators. Bevel gearboxes are used primarily when power needs to be transmitted at a 90-degree angle.

Agitators

Agitators use compressed air for mixing, blending, and facilitating chemical reactions and ensuring consistency. Helical and bevel gearboxes offer a reliable and efficient solution for powering agitators where high-torque and smooth power transmission are needed, particularly in applications where a 90 degree angle is required between the motor and the agitator shaft.

Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR)

Mechanical Vapour Recompression relies on refrigeration systems for compressing and condensing vapours to reuse them as a heat source.

Lime Kiln Gas Plants

Lime or calcium oxide is produced from limestone after the gases generated in the kiln are cooled to condense impurities.

Ammonia Plants

Ammonia is produced after the removal of heat from exothermic reactions and the cooling of synthetic gases. Refrigeration System supports separation and purification of ammonia from unreacted gases.

Nitric Acid Plants

Nitric acid is produced by oxidising ammonia, with gases cooled during the oxidation and condensation process.

Urea Plants

Urea Plants provide cooling for the synthesis and granulation process in the reaction between ammonia and carbon dioxide. Refrigeration System ensures optimal reaction conditions for maximum yield and product quality.

Ammonia Storage

Ammonia is kept at its boiling point to stay in its liquid form for use in fertilisers, refrigeration systems and industrial processes.

Water Chilling Plants

Water Chilling Plants remove heat from the water, providing consistent cooling for processes and comfort cooling in buildings.

Chlorine Liquefaction

Chlorine Liquefaction relies on refrigeration systems to lower the gas temperature and maintain stable conditions for storage. Refrigeration is essential for cooling chlorine gas to its liquefaction point (-34°C at atmospheric pressure).

Solvent Recovery

Solvent Recovery recovers solvents for reuse through controlled condensation.

Temperature & Humidity Control

Ideal environmental conditions for production are achieved by maintaining optimal temperature and controlling humidity.

(Comfort Cooling) Air Conditioning

Air Conditioning provides a controlled environment for various production processes.

Reactor Cooling

Reactor Cooling maintains precise temperatures for optimal reactions and product quality.

Carbon Dioxide Liquefaction

Carbon dioxide liquefaction relies on refrigeration compressors to lower the gas temperature and condense it below ambient levels.

Freeze Drying (Lyophilisation)

Freeze drying, or Lyophilisation, is a low-temperature dehydration process that removes water from heat-sensitive pharmaceutical products and chemicals to elongate their shelf-life.

Condensation of Vapours

In processes like distillation and solvent recovery, condensing vapours into liquids prevents the loss of volatile substances.

Chemical Reactors Cooling

The efficiency of chemical processes is ensured through temperature control of the exothermic and endothermic reactions.

Product drying

Compressed air is used to accelerate product drying by removing moisture and facilitating evaporation.

Nitrogen generation 

Nitrogen is generated by filtering air via a membrane which is used in a variety of chemical applications.

Instrumentation and Automation

Compressed air powers pneumatic control valves and instruments for precise monitoring and control of chemical processes.

Spray Drying

Compressed air atomises liquid feed into fine droplets in spray dryers for the production of consistent powder products in the chemical industry.
