These are the images of a second intervention we did on plate heat exchangers<\/strong><\/a> of a customer in the pharma industry<\/strong>, that employs them in a production line of API used for the treatment of Covid-19<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The customer called us two days before Easter, and the regenerated exchanger was ready to be delivered the following friday. The exchanger is composed by 85 titanium plates<\/strong>, since the customer works using an anti-freeze solution<\/strong>, an aggressive agent on AISI 316 stainless<\/strong> steel and potentially causing pitting<\/a> on this material.<\/p>\n

The intervention started with an overall visual check of the exchanger<\/strong>, continuing with complete disassembly<\/strong> and with the regeneration. The revamping operation involved the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Plates cleaning with high-pressure washer;<\/li>\n
  2. Old gasket removal without using metal tools;<\/li>\n
  3. Plates cleaning with proper chemical bath, rinsing and drying;<\/li>\n
  4. Gasket housings cleaning to remove rubber and\/or glue traces;<\/li>\n
  5. Visual check of plates and pressing geometry control, with restoring if needed;<\/li>\n
  6. Control with penetrating liquids on 100% of plates<\/strong> (CND controls);<\/li>\n
  7. Washing to remove any remaining of penetrating liquids on plates and drying;<\/li>\n
  8. Supply and application of the new gasket.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Due to the fact that titanium is the plates’ material here, controls with penetrating liquids must be very scrupulous, because titanium is very much resistant against corrosion<\/strong><\/a> and chloride assault<\/a>, but it\u2019s a more fragile material compared to steel.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"scambiatoriHaving it all be done, the exchanger has been closed respecting the tightening standard settings, then proceeding with pressure test of both circuits<\/strong> separately. A data plate<\/strong> has been put on the machinery, updated with the date of the regeneration intervention and a serial number for future traceability of spare parts<\/strong> employed (gaskets, nozzle liners). The revamped exchanger was finally ready to be re-installed.<\/p>\n
