Gasketed plate heat exchanger for heating, cooling, and heat recovery in wastewater treatment with 85-95% thermal efficiency.
The Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) consists of corrugated SS316 plates clamped between frames with gaskets creating alternating hot and cold channels. Counter-current flow achieves thermal efficiency of 85-95%. In wastewater applications, PHEs preheat cold influent using hot effluent, recover heat from exothermic reactions (Fenton, WAO), cool process streams, and maintain DAF temperature. Compact design provides 3-5x more surface area than shell-and-tube per unit volume.
Counter-current flow and turbulent plate corrugation maximise heat transfer with minimal approach temperature (2-3°C).
Additional plates added between existing frame – no new equipment needed for capacity increase.
Plates unclamped and removed for mechanical or chemical cleaning. No tube bundle extraction.
SS316 plates with nitrile, EPDM, or Viton gaskets resist aggressive industrial wastewater.
