NESS light-ends removal systems

Cost-efficient and permanent increase of the flashpoint

Cost-efficient and permanent increase of the flashpoint

Light-ends are continuously generated in thermal oil systems depending on the operating temperature. Basically: The higher the operating temperature, the more light-ends are formed. If the light-ends content increases, the flashpoint of the thermal oil decreases. The lifetime of the thermal oil thereby decreases rapidly over time.

Light-ends evaporate and ignite even at low temperatures and may endanger the reliability.

Your advantages at a glance

Reduction in operating costs
Due to the constant removal of the light-ends, you can use your thermal oil for a longer time, without system downtime by boiling out the light-ends and thus saving money and time
Your maintenance advantage
Due to permanently good thermal oil values, maintenance routines can be planned and calculated better
Quick amortization
Cost-effective solution that pays off in a few years for you and your production processes
Increased safety
The flash point of the thermal oil is kept permanently high, making your system safer and more efficient

The flash point is safety relevant

#1 Your system works more effectively and calculable with a permanently high flash point

#2 A continuous, high flash point means less downtime

NESS light-ends removal system (NALD250)

The right dimensioning for your system

Most of the light-ends are generated in the hot supply line, in the heater, and to a lesser extent in the cooler return line. For typical thermal oil heating systems with mineral oil and a supply line temperature of 280 °C, the decomposition rate is 3.5% per year. For 30,000 l of thermal oil this amounts to 1,000 l per year! The light-ends removal system can be integrated modularly and in a size adapted to your system up to 250,000 liters volume.
