The Benefits of Buying a Used Plant:

• Reduced Lead Times: Transporting a used plant from one site to another is much quicker and more efficient than commissioning a new line, which involves waiting for it to be manufactured, assembled and installed.
• Increased Revenues: The reduction of lead times allows production to commence in a fraction of the time, meaning that you are able to begin generating cash quicker.
•     Cost Savings: The cost of buying a used plant is significantly lower than purchasing a new line or plant.
•     Environmental Benefits: Reduced emissions, less usage of raw materials and waste all ensure that your company’s environmental targets can be met.

 

Perry has a wide range of used industrial plants available for sale, including chemical, pharmaceutical, food and alternative fuels. If you wish to discuss a plant requirement, please call our Plant

Read All About: Heat Exchangers

What is a Heat Exchanger?

A Heat Exchanger is a piece of equipment built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another. Heat exchangers are used for the transfer of heat or cold between two fluids for the purpose of heating the process, cooling the process or condensing vapours during the process. Heat Exchangers can also be known as Condensers, are pressure and temperature rated and can be horizontally or vertically orientated. They are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power plants, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, natural gas processing, and sewage treatment. The classic example of a Heat Exchanger is found in an internal combustion engine in which a circulating fluid known as engine coolant flows through radiator coils and air flows past the coils, which cools the coolant and heats the incoming air.

There are several different types of Heat Exchangers in the process industry. These include: shell and tube, plate, spiral and air cooled and compoblock Heat Exchangers. A shell and tube Heat Exchanger has an external cylinder called a shell with internal tubes that run the length of the shell. There are tube sheets on each end of the tubes sealing the shell around the tubes and there are covers on each end called heads which can come in several configurations. Basic principal of operation is that one fluid flows through the tube and the other fluid flows around the tubes; the large number of tubes in the bundles offer extensive contact surfaces which facilitate quick and efficient thermal transfer. The fluid inside the tubes can flow in a single pass or multiple passes using baffles in the heads. Another type of heat exchanger is the plate Heat Exchanger. One is composed of multiple, thin, slightly separated plates that have very large surface areas and fluid flow passages for heat transfer. This stacked-plate arrangement can be more effective, in a given space, than the shell and tube Heat Exchanger.

There are three primary flow arrangements with Heat Exchangers: counter-flow, parallel-flow, and cross-flow. In the counter-flow exchanger, the fluids enter the exchanger from opposite sides. This is the most efficient design because it transfers the greatest amount of heat. In the parallel-flow version, the fluids come in from the same end and move parallel to each other as they flow to the other side. The cross-flow Heat Exchanger moves the fluids in a perpendicular fashion.

Letters From Aspiring Children

In June 2013, our fourth school visit took place. Supporting the CIEC programme headed by Joanne Rout, in association with University of York, Timothy Hackworth School in Shildon were guests of our Newton Aycliffe site for the day. Today we received a selection of letters from the Year 6 children, thanking us for inviting them to our site. They have said that they “enjoyed learning about the mixing machines” and taking part in process experiments using our equipment. Each child was advised what each piece of equipment does in manufacturing and production sites across the globe, which they found to be educational and inspiring.

The children have been studying science in the classroom but their visit to Perry Process has enabled them to see how the experiments they perform translate into real-world situations. A number of children have also noted that they enjoyed the part where their teacher swung “a bucket of water upside down, nearly splashing herself with water” as if you “swing a bucket really fast” it won’t spill. The letter from Lilly-Rose is our favourite, as she went away and tried to conduct the same safe experiments at home.

By making their day fun and informative we have inspired the youth of today to consider a future career in science and engineering.
