A description of an innovative reboiler solution, comparing installation costs and space constraints. Alfa Laval's Compabloc is one of the most compact reboiler solutions available on the market today. 

Robert Broad, Alfa Laval, UK provides an overview of the condenser options available to the hydrocarbon processing engineers.

Utilizing quench water energy at an European ethylene plant. Global warming is of major concern today. There is increasing pressure on industry to reduce both energy usage and the associated CO2 emissions. An important and profitable action that industry can take is to recover more process energy and thus improve the efficient use of that energy.

Today, many industries are asking themselves how they can contribute to a better environment by reducing CO₂ emissions, while remaining efficient and cost competitive. One solution, where feasible, is to install compact heat exchangers instead shell-and-tube heat exchangers.

This article describes the unique features of the spiral heat exchanger, applications in which the spiral heat exchanger has been successfully used and conclude with some practical design guidelines.

There is increasing pressure on industry to reduce both energy usage and the associated CO₂ emissions. Two important and profitable actions to take are to recover more process energy and optimize cooling efficiency.
