The use of heat recovery plays an important role in the technological processes of the alcohol industry.

The engineering company "BTS-Engineering" offers innovative solutions to reduce the consumption of process heat indistilleries.

For example, a variant of the layout of equipment for "heating" the brew (distillation) columns (BC) withalcohol-water vapors of the rectification column (RC). The scheme works as follows: alcohol-water vapors from the RCare fed into the inter-tube space of the recuperative boiler BC. The distillery dreg of the cubic part of BCcirculation pump first served in the tube space of the recuperative boiler of BC, then in the piping of the boilersteam beer columns were further back in the cube beer columns were for, respectively, heating the stillage to therequired temperature and for hydro-alcoholic vapours cooling (condensation) of RC. The amount of pumped distillerydreg (multiplicity) is selected in such a way as to ensure maximum heat transfer (up to 95%) from alcoholic vaporsto distillery dreg. The hot steam boiler is installed for force majeure and commissioning. Condensate ofalcohol-water vapors (phlegm) is directed to the upper part of the RC.
