Shell and Tube BTEX Emissions Unit
Designed for BTEX elimination in colder environments where electric supply is not available
Our shell & tube BTEX Emissions system is built around all stainless ASME code shell tube heat exchangers, manufactured by SpiralX. These systems are used in extreme cold weather where there is no electricity. Regeneration capability ranges from 200,000 – 3.5MM BTU/hr.
The Benefits
- The Glycol is on the SHELL side. This acts as an insulator thus enhancing the unit’s ability to not freeze during severe cold weather conditions. Inferior designs run the glycol on the TUBE side and the condensation on the shell side and are therefore prone to freezing
- The shell tube heat exchangers are in a vertical arrangement. This allows for near zero back pressure on the still column greatly reducing the chances of relief valves popping. Horizontal arrangements are prone to clogging.
- SpiralX shell tube BTEX emissions systems use a 24” diameter separator tank, complete with removable demister pad. Inferior systems use a 4” diameter separator, which often is not large enough to get good separation between the condensable and the BTEX gases.
- SpiralX shell tube BTEX emissions systems use 35 GPM rated diaphragm pumps to move condensate as opposed to 4 GPM blow cases. This provides added protection in upset conditions.
- SpiralX shell tube BTEX emissions systems come with an optional combustor to destroy the BTEX gases as opposed to the dangerous practice of pushing those gases back into the dehy burner.
