Direct Steam Injection Jetcooker Uses for the Chemical Industry. Many chemical manufacturers are hoping to maximize process efficiency, increase production, and recover waste steam for energy savings.
If you struggle with precise temperature or experience steam and water loss from normal operation, Hydro-Thermal has the solution to make your plant more efficient, saving you money and ultimately allowing you to focus more time on your production versus utility bills.
Hydro-Thermal’s patented heating system works by mixing steam and process liquids completely while delivering consistent temperature and instantaneous heating. For more information on our advanced direct steam injection technology, click here.
Applications for Chemical Production
No matter what your industry or application Hydro-Thermal’s heating solutions will assure you saving energy costs, reducing maintenance down-time, and more.
With instantaneous heating when you need it, our products are ideal for anywhere maintaining a precise temperature is critical. Our most popular heating applications include:
JACKETED VESSELS OR REACTORS- Our solution provides all the benefits of efficient direct steam contact jacket water heating along with accurate temperature control that eliminates hot spots and thermal shock.
- Chemical processing is all about achieving the ideal temperature for the right duration. The Hydroheater provides temperature control throughout the various heating and cooling stages eliminating hot spots. By using direct steam injection and a water jacket, we can eliminate the thermal shock associated with heating with steam and cooling with water. Accurate temperature control can often increase batch efficiencies ultimately leading to increased production.

- Easily and efficiently heats tanks on in-feed or in recirc mode, trim heat.
- We can heat the fluid going into the tank; re-circulate the tank to maintain a specific temperature, or leave the tank cold and heat the liquid exiting the tank, producing hot water on demand. Many customers see a return on investment (ROI) in less than three months. By eliminating sparging systems, Hydro-Thermal has been able to bring tank temperature up to set point faster while seeing a significant reduction in steam consumption.

- Quickly cleans tanks and other equipment to ensure smooth production.
- Proper cleaning and sanitation is an important concern for you and your customers. Hydro-Thermal’s solution allows you to clean equipment at the optimal temperature in one pass. Whether you need to heat a tank or heat on the discharge to the exact temperature, the Hydroheater can meet your needs.
- Hydro-Thermal can heat RO inlet water or heat membrane back flush water while achieving precise temperature control while maintaining consistent throughput.
- RO filters are designed for a given water temperature. As water cools, viscosity increases and RO capacity decreases up to 3%. A Hydroheater can keep the inlet water temperature at ±1ºF of the set point so the RO can operate at the designed capacity without wasting energy over heating the water.
- Similar to above, if the back flush water is heated to the designed temperature, they can optimize the amount of water used and ensure that the membranes are properly cleaned.

- Achieving optimal production levels can often be tied to the productivity of your plant`s boiler. Ensure that you have consistent steam supply while reducing corrosion, scaling, and fouling of your feedwater system by using Hydro-Thermal`s direct steam injection equipment.
- Properly conditioning boiler feed water can make your boiler work more efficiently to achieve optimal performance. Water is heated to 190-200°F [88-93°C] to remove dissolved oxygen resulting in reduced corrosion and ensuring consistent boiler feed water temperature. This precise temperature control is able to meet steam and feed water demand.
