Platular heat exchangers B
arriquand designs and manufactures wide gap welded plate heat exchangers (smart Hybrid HX). Barriquand units are used as small or large process reactor condensers or process fluids heaters/coolers in various chemical processes (hydrogen peroxide, polymer, fertiliser, etc). They can be wide gap, all welded plate-rack heat exchangers made of thick stainless steel
sheets (1.5 or 2mm) and are consequently robust, compact and extremely easy to clean (mechanically or chemically). Their proprietary design can accommodate the use of different utility streams into one single large multi- streams condenser or heater/cooler. The main technical features are:
❒ Clear free flow channels with generous spacing when required.
❒ Easy cleaning with access to heat transfer area through hinged access covers – no need to remove bulky connection pipes and nozzles.
❒ Large size available up to 1400 m² in one piece.
❒ Truly custom-built solution to ease
Reduce Capital Outlay Up To 66% With Cashco Vapor Control.
The full line of Vapor Control System from Valve Concepts has established the industry standard for engineered quality and in-field adaptability. The engineered modular design enables us to reduce capital outlay costs from 33% to 66% depending on the model.
Our vents are engineered to be fully modular in design so they can be converted in design and function in the field. Any one of our vents can be changed to a pipe away, spring loaded, or even a pilot operated vent without having to buy a whole new unit. Now that’s innovation that VCI customers profit from.
integration in existing plants.
❒ Robust and maintenance free and long lasting equipment made from stainless steel.
Barriquand is a specialist in heat
exchangers for industry in the widest sense, and offers different types of technology:
❒ Welded plate heat exchangers (WPHE), patented as PLATULAIRE or PLATULAR.
❒ Plate and frame exchangers (PHE). ❒ Special tubes and shell heat exchangers. ❒ Electrical heaters.
These heat exchangers are designed and manufactured in accordance with thermal data of each application and individual specifications from customers. Industry sectors include: chemicals, fine chemicals, bio-ethanol and bio- tecnologies, HVAC energy recovery. ❒

EOR chemicals market set to quadruple
T Model 3100/4100
he rapid depletion and ageing of existing crude oil reserves are set to fuel the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) chemicals market. The market will develop rapidly on a platform of innovative, sustainable and economically viable offerings.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Analysis of Enhanced Oil Recovery Chemicals Market in the United States and Europe, finds that the market earned revenues of $409.3 million in 2012 and estimates this to reach $1,775.1 million in 2019. The research covers polymers, surfactants, alkaline chemicals, surfactant-polymer formulations, alkali-surfactant-polymer formulations, and other chemicals segments.
EOR technology is also gaining appeal because it offers access to hard-to-reach resources.
Ten years back many significant deposits in the US and Europe remained trapped underground because it was economically unfeasible to tap these resources and produce oil.” Escalating energy needs are driving advances in enhanced oil

At the same time, sustained high oil prices are making the use of EOR chemicals economically viable. ❒
