Decarbonisation Technology – August 2021

• The plate gaps can be adjusted to operating conditions and fuel, in order to increase the metal temperature and allowing cleaning.

Reduce CO 2 emissions and energy costs with ultimate air preheaters technology As key targets for 2030, the climate and energy framework establishes that at least 40% of greenhouse gas emissions (from 1990 levels) have to be reduced. A landmark judgment in The Hague recently ruled that Shell and its suppliers must cut emissions by 45% by 2030 from 2019 levels, a ruling that will probably have to be followed by other big companies. These legal requirements and the need to reduce energy costs in refineries and chemical plants are the reason for installing new air preheaters (APH) or modifying existing ones. Choosing the right APH is crucial to achieving the best results. BD Heat Air Recovery specialises in the design, engineering, manufacturing and installation of high energy efficiency recovery APH. Our technology is based on the following characteristics: specialized in the design, engineering, manufacturing and covery APH currently available in the market. Our outstanding eristics: osts with ultimate AIR PREHEATERS TECHNOLOGY: ECOVERY AIR PREHEATERS By rasseur, BD HEAT Recovery, a, MERYT Catalysts & Innovation ablishes that as key t rg ts for 2030 at least 40% greenhouse educed. Very recently, a landmark judgment in The Hague has missions by 45% by 2030 from the 2019 level, judgment that companies. ed to reduce energy costs in refiner es and chemical plants, is REHEATER’s (APH), or to modify existing ones. Choosing the he best results. • The APH is fully welded, completely leak-free and 100% Dye-Penetrant tested. BD Heat Recovery Air Preheaters

• The heat exchanger plates are made from stainless steel in different thicknesses making the heat exchanger resistant against corrosion. • With a cold stage made from ULTRA-alloy it can even operates below the dew point when fuel gas is used as a fuel. Latent heat can then be recovered, increasing even the thermal efficiency.

• The heat exchanger plates are manufactured from stainless steel in different thicknesses, making the heat exchanger resistant to corrosion. • With a cold stage made from Ultra Alloy, it can even operate below the dew point when fuel gas is used as a fuel. Latent heat can then be recovered, increasing even the thermal efficiency. • Thanks to the full metallic design of the cold stage with Ultra Alloy, operation below the acid dew point is feasible without the consequences of an unexpected temperature rise, which would destroy non-metallic materials. • This APH will have approximately half the weight of a cast iron type system, so the existing steel structure can be re-used. New foundations are not required. • Even in tight spaces, a new APH combining counter-current flow or a combination of counter-current flow and cross-flow can be inserted in an existing plant. Based on these characteristics, our technology offers two main advantages: ➊ With high energy efficiency, more heat can be recovered and less CO 2 is emitted. ➋ With less CO 2 , efforts to move towards carbon neutrality, as requested by the climate and energy framework, become easier and more affordable. Please contact us if you are planning to reduce your CO 2 emissions or energy costs by installing or replacing an air preheater.

• The APH can use a counter-flow or a combination of counter- and cross-flow heat exchange, allowing thermal efficiency of up to 97% within a very compact space, reducing the need to change ducting and steel structures. • It is based on a modular design, where the internal plate packs can be replaced without removing the entire APH and associated ducts. • It uses flat plates, resulting in low pressure drop, and is less prone to fouling. • The plate gaps can be adjusted to operating conditions and fuel to increase the metal temperature and allow for cleaning. • The APH is fully welded, completely leak-free, and 100% Dye-Penetrant tested.
