Wastewater and sludge treatment demand designs based on the real behaviour of each fluid.<\/em><\/p>\n

SACOME<\/strong> is a recognised reference in the field of wastewater and sludge treatment<\/strong>. In this area, the company works with numerous wastewater treatment plants and with many other businesses worldwide that require tubular heat exchangers for processing these types of fluids.<\/strong><\/p>\n

ne of the key aspects in this kind of application<\/strong> is obtaining reliable data on the actual behaviour of the fluid<\/strong>, since its properties can vary significantly from one project to another. In some cases, the fluid behaves as a Newtonian fluid, while in others it is non-Newtonian.<\/p>\n

To address this properly, SACOME collaborates with several universities<\/strong>, including the Technical University of Cartagena<\/strong>, carrying out rheological testing to obtain real process data. This collaboration is especially valuable in services where fluid behaviour has a direct impact on exchanger design. For this reason, having accurate values for density, specific heat, thermal conductivity and viscosity is an essential part of the engineering work.<\/p>\n

A recent example is the award of a project for the supply of a heat exchanger for heating sludge from poultry waste. In services with a significant solids content, the usual approach is to consider single-tube I-TF20-I<\/a> units in order to avoid blockage problems. In this case, however, multitubular I-TFM-D<\/a> exchangers arranged in series were selected, since an appropriate filtration system will be installed upstream of the exchanger. \"Intercambiador\u00a0 \u00a0\"Intercambiador \"Intercambiador<\/p>\n

In addition, due to the characteristics of the service fluid, the selected design includes a removable tube bundle, allowing inspection and cleaning on the shell side.<\/p>\n

This project reflects well how SACOME works in this field: combining experience, real product data and design adaptation to the specific conditions of each service.<\/p>\n

Design begins with understanding the fluid.<\/strong><\/p>\n
