The Standard Group of Companies is an international, leading supplier of process equipment into the pharmaceutical and chemical industry.
Key pieces of equipment in the Standard range include innovative, patent pending Glass Lined Heat Exchangers that are ideal when processing corrosive and chemically aggressive liquids.
These Glass Lined Heat Exchangers are processed by Standard Glass Lining Technology, who are part of the Standard Group. They are designed in the Shell and Tube format for optimum heat transfer efficiency.
A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer thermal energy between two or more fluids, which are at different temperatures. In most cases, the fluids can exchange heat without direct contact. Shell and Tube heat exchangers work by passing the fluid/gas through a series of tubes that are encompassed in a large metal shell.
Shell and tube heat exchangers are typically used for high pressure applications. These pressures are also used in processes which require a vacuum condition to carry out the heat transfer process.
These heat exchangers are the most effective type of heat control device, which can be very beneficial when using toxic gases and chemicals.
Heat exchangers are generally made from stainless steel for the shell and the tube with a polished surface finish.
Standard Group now offer a glass lined heat exchanger for additional benefit to the process and the equipment.
