Chemical Processing

Chemical processing, mixing, R&D and analytical laboratories often require a precise and stable fluid temperature to achieve the company’s objectives. Having a subpar temperature control system can result in lost batches, unmet deadlines and high costs for chemical waste removal and disposal.

Typical companies requiring high-quality performance chemicals can be found in a growing number of industries and applications including aerospace, agricultural, automotive, bio-medical, electronics, military and power/ renewable energy.

Mokon's experienced application team has been developing specific-use process temperature control systems to meet the needs of original equipment manufacturers and users of complex materials for over 70 years. Accuracy, corrosion-resistant materials and durable components that can withstand frequent wash downs and/or exposure to hazardous atmospheres are all considered a necessity for these harsh applications.

Application Details

A multinational conglomerate contacted Mokon looking for a temperature control system to provide heat capacity to jacketed piping. After compounding, adhesives were to be transported through the jacketed piping at a constant temperature set point when traveling to the next process phase.

Considerations

The customer wanted the temperature control system to be controlled remotely and match the local code standard.

Solution

Mokon's application engineer proposed a 500°F/260°C temperature control system suitable for a Class 1 Division 2 Group C/D environment. The comprehensive solution satisfied the customer’s heat capacity requirements, could be controlled remotely per the specified interface and met the local code standard. Mokon was able to provide the customer with the required engineered systems, all while meeting space-saving specifications and following a very tight delivery schedule.
