MEG recovery cooling
Cooling mono-ethylene glycol recovered from the esterification and polycondensation vapour system before it returns to process.
Recommended type
Standard Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger
A clean closed loop, so a gasketed pack is the economic answer and the close approach is worth real money on a stream that is recycled continuously. Glycol viscosity at the cold end sets the pressure drop and therefore the plate pattern, and the gasket compound is chosen on the glycol and its temperature, not on the model number.
