Klarex Technology BV

self-cleaning shell and tube heat exchangers. Applies circulation of solid particles through the tubes to remove fouling deposits from the tube wall.

Properties: 1. Unique self-cleaning potential for extremely severe fouling applications. 2. Retrofit of existing conventional exchangers into a configuration which applies the Bronswerk Klarex self-cleaning technology on an intermittent or continuous basis. 3. New exchangers can be designed in such a way that the Bronswerk Klarex self-cleaning technology can be added at a later stage if fouling proves to be more severe than originally envisioned.

Self-cleaning performance

Commercial experience gained with a large number of Bronswerk Klarex self-cleaning heat exchangers has shown that these exchangers remain clean for very long operating periods or even indefinitely in comparison with conventional heat exchangers which suffer from severe fouling in a couple of hours, days, weeks or months. Any type of fouling deposit, whether hard or soft, biological or chemical, fibrous or protein, or any organic type, or a combination of the above, can be effectively handled by the Bronswerk Klarex self-cleaning heat exchanger.
