The initial cost is halved due to miniaturization! Here is an example of replacing with the fully welded plate heat exchanger 'XP Plate'.
We will introduce the COG refined BTX separation and recovery process. In the case where an 8-pass 42m tube is replaced with a 1-pass 2.4m plate, the low-temperature recovery oil is preheated to 143°C through thermal recovery, but it ultimately needs to be raised to around 165°C to efficiently release the BTX components. Although this may seem like only a 22°C difference, the energy cost of the gas heater becomes significantly large. Furthermore, in the replacement from tube type to XP plate, a substantial reduction in pressure loss is expected due to the significantly shorter flow path. Estimates indicate that replacing two tubes with one XP plate will reduce pressure loss by about 100 kPa, resulting in an annual energy savings of 46.2 MWh. Assuming an electricity price of 10 yen/kWh, this translates to a savings effect of 460,000 yen. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Our company is engaged in the development of technology for "ocean thermal energy conversion," which can be considered the ultimate renewable energy. The technologies we have cultivated over many years are not only aimed at realizing ocean thermal energy conversion but are also used for generating electricity from relatively low-temperature industrial waste heat produced by factories, as well as geothermal heat from hot springs. Furthermore, they are utilized as heat exchangers for various industrial applications beyond power generation. The core of our technology lies in process engineering related to the temperature difference power generation system and the design and manufacturing of heat exchangers, which are the most critical equipment that constitutes this system. The heat exchanger we have independently developed for the practical application of ocean thermal energy conversion, the XP plate, is a plate-type heat exchanger with a fully welded structure that is entirely different from conventional products. It has obtained numerous patents along with its outstanding manufacturing technology. With its simple and direct flow path, the XP plate has garnered attention as a compact device that efficiently recovers thermal energy from fluids that tend to clog and contain solids, which have previously been abandoned, as well as from gases that need to flow at high volumes and speeds.
