Kellogg's, Battle Creek, Michigan
Boiler Blowdown Cooling System
Boiler blowdown water needs to be cooled at 140F before draining to sewer system. Original blowdown heat exchanger system had chronic plugging and high maintenance. Kellogg's changed to direct-injection cooling water which still caused plugging and wasted water. ThermalTech was brought in to design and implement a non-contact heat exchanger designed for ease of maintenance and reliability.
Benefit:
The temperature of the blowdown water remains consistently within requirements and no plug-ups have occurred (more than two years run time compared to problems every few months previously!). Use of city water has been eliminated.
