Aquaristics

Heat exchangers in aquaristics Plastic heat exchangers are important components in marine aquariums and breeding stations for aquatic organisms. The corrosive nature of salt water requires corrosion-resistant materials, while sensitive organisms in nurseries and marine aquariums require a metal ion-free environment. Precise temperature control is essential for successful rearing, animal welfare and the existence of…

Waste water treatment

Plastic heat exchangers in wastewater treatment Heat exchangers play a crucial role in wastewater treatment as they ensure heat transfer for various applications such as sludge digestion, anaerobic digestion and cooling of the wastewater. However, metal heat exchangers have considerable disadvantages when it comes to wastewater treatment. Wastewater in itself often contains corrosive substances, chemicals…

Semiconductor technology

Heat exchanger for semiconductor technology In semiconductor production, aggressive and corrosive media play a decisive role in various processes such as chemical etching, cleaning and surface treatment. These media, which often contain strong acids, bases and highly reactive chemicals, enable precise patterning and structuring of semiconductor materials. Due to their highly corrosive properties, however, the…

Aquafarming

Heat exchanger for aquafarming Aquafarming is the practice of raising aquatic organisms such as fish, mussels and aquatic plants in controlled environments such as tanks or ponds for commercial purposes. Precise temperature control is crucial for the optimal growth and health of aquatic species and is therefore a decisive criterion in the production of top…

Urban Mining

Heat exchangers in urban mining Urban mining takes the approach of considering man-made waste products as a source of raw materials and aims to recover the valuable raw materials they contain and make them reusable. It is not a completely separate approach from waste management, but complements it and also has overlaps with the production…

Biogas

Heat exchanger from the biogas series When biomass is fermented in digesters, numerous aggressive and corrosive by-products such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, etc. are produced in addition to the target product methane. In order to make the resulting methane technically usable, the biogas must first be purified and dried. Various system sizes can be…

Ventilation technology & gas treatment

Heat exchangers in ventilation technology Effective ventilation systems face major challenges in surface treatment. The use of aggressive and corrosive media in most process steps of surface systems makes the use of conventional, metallic ventilation systems impossible. At the same time, large quantities of process air must be extracted and replaced with pre-conditioned outside air…
