Cooling for fatty acids destilled from olive pomace THE CHALLENGE The case is framed in oil waste extracting plants that plays a major role in oil industry. Only 20% of olive milling in the mills is virgin olive oil, the remaining 80% is wet fatty pomace or “alpeorujo” that is Read more…
Cooling tower revamping in an oil refinery THE CHALLENGE This challenge takes us to one of the largest oil refineries in the province of Granada, Spain. Cooling towers are often the big forgotten in industrial plants. They are equipment that usually require little maintenance that is limited to an occasionally Read more…
FOLIVE: first virtual olive oil fair FOLIVE, the 1st Olive Oil Industry Virtual Fair is held on the 17th of March 2021. This event brings together the leading companies in oil industry. An opportunity to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and technological solutions applied to the olive sector, attend Read more…
Fill: a cooling towers key element The filling is the operational heart of a cooling tower. The air-water countercurrent contact occurs through it causing water cooling by evaporation of a small part of it. That is why we must pay special attention to the selection in order to get a Read more…
Evaporative cooling as an alternative technology in reducing CO2 emissions Under the global warming caused by emissions of CO2 and fluorinated gases used in the production of cold, the UN predicts an increase from the 3,600 million existing refrigeration equipments to 14,000 unids in the year 2050. This is stated Read more…
Evaporative, dry, adiabatic and mechanical systems The selection of the industrial or civil cooling system must be made considering some fundamental factors. In particular, both the required operating temperatures and those related to the environmental conditions of the installation site must be taken into account. These two key factors will Read more…
Cooling tower retrofit: cooling capacity increased THE CHALLENGE We are requested by Gases Oxinorte A.I.E, company that produces air gases, to increase the cooling capacity in its nitrogen liquefaction facility in Vizcaya. Brief description of Oxinorte: In the air separation unit (ASU) its components are fractionated by cryogenic distillation, obtaining Read more…
Retrofit of cooling towers in industrial plants Adapting cooling towers to new working conditions, making obsolete and inefficient equipments become fully efficient and adapted to the reality of the plant once again is a challenge that we usually face. Julio Ausín, technical director of TORRAVAL will offer the virtual meeting Read more…
Evaporative cooling is one of the most efficient cooling systems compared to other cooling methods. To understand this, we are going to know a basic concept in relation to cooling towers: the wet bulb. What is wet bulb temperature? An important physical concept allows us to better understand how cooling Read more…
The transition to more sustainable and clean cooling and heating systems will contribute to job creation and wealth after Covid crisis in 2020. A study made by International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Renewable energy community for the XXI century (REN21) affirms that. The report Read more…
