Debottlenecking PET Warmer Line at a Beverage Plant in Thailand
A MNC beverage plant in Thailand was facing two scenarios in their PET line warmer:
- Condensate temperature was 50°C (122°F), indicating stalling in the heat exchanger. This was impacting the process temperature (not achieving the set point) and heating time (which was longer).
- Process temperature was exceeding the set point temperature by 10°C (50°F).
An energy audit of their steam system design and installation of a steam-operated pump trap (SOPT) along with a pressure powered pump package unit (PPPPU), helped the plant to resolve issues with process and condensate temperatures enabling 100% condensate recovery.
