Steam Coils Used to Recover Waste Heat from Palm Oil Mills

Steam coils can be used in palm oil mills to recover waste heat and improve energy efficiency. Palm oil mills usually produce a large amount of waste heat which can be recovered and reused through steam coils.

The following are applications of steam coils for waste heat recovery:

Waste Heat Recovery: Many production processes in palm oil mills generate waste heat, such as the oil milling process, the deacidification process, the boiling process and so on. Steam coils can recover this waste heat and transfer it to the medium that needs to be heated by means of heat exchange, such as heating water or other thermal media needed in the production process.

Heating water: The recovered waste heat can be used to heat the water in the plant. This is particularly important during the cooling season, when waste heat can be used to heat water used in production or other industrial processes, thus reducing the need for electricity or gas heating and lowering energy costs.

Air Conditioning Systems: Waste heat recovery can also be used to heat the air inside a building to provide warmth. This improves the working environment for employees during the cold season and also reduces the load on the air conditioning system, lowering energy consumption.

Other production processes: Recovered waste heat can also be used in other production processes that require thermal energy, such as evaporation and concentration and drying. In this way, the energy of waste heat is maximised and the overall energy efficiency is improved.

The application of steam coils for waste heat recovery in palm oil mills not only reduces energy costs, but also helps to reduce the impact on the environment and improve energy efficiency.
