ABSTRACT:
The fluidized bed self-cleaning heat exchange
technology has been developed in the 70s for the application
in thermal desalination plants, like Multi-Stage Flash (MSF)
evaporators. This paper summarizes the achievements of the
Multi-Stage Flash / Fluidized Bed Evaporator (MSF/FBE) in
the past, but also pays attention to its market potential today,
whether or not in combination with the possible revamp of
existing conventional MSF plants into a better performing
configuration.
Further, this paper also pays attention to the application
of the self-cleaning heat exchange technology for closedloop
coolers or so-called ‘mother-coolers’ for large chemical
plants.
Last but not least, attention is paid to the application of
the self-cleaning heat exchange technology on offshore
platforms using untreated natural seawater as a coolant,
where it might replace the conventionally used heavy, bulky,
voluminous and energy-inefficient air coolers for the same
service.
