Steam injection heating is helpful in a variety of markets and industries, but each project is unique. At ProSonix, we've worked on projects of all sizes and levels of complexity. With that experience comes valuable knowledge. Our team is happy to share a few summaries from past projects which may help provide insight and ideas for your own application.
10 Tips to Help Optimize & Improve Your Steam Injection Heating Application
Food processing and meat & poultry plants have a critical need for on demand hot water for plant sanitation throughout the day. Steam injection heating is a very good option to support the hot water supply as it can provide high turn down (up to 8:1) on hot water flow, maintain reliable temperature control, and can be integrated into CIP hot water systems to meet all user demands.
CIP Clean in Place
Clean-in-place (CIP) is a method of cleaning the interior surfaces of pipes, vessels, process equipment, filters and associated fittings, without disassembly. The advent of CIP is critical to industries that need frequent internal cleaning of their processes. Industries that rely heavily on CIP are those requiring high levels of hygiene, and include: dairy, beverage, brewing, processed foods, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics.
Food Processing - Vegetable & Potato Blanching
Blanching processes will operate at temperatures of 190-205°F. Water is delivered to the blancher which in turn needs to be heated prior to processing the vegetables or potatoes in the blancher. Proper temperature control ensures processing optimization.
