this is Comfort lock from alfa laval a hygienic condenser for the pharmaceutical industry the delivers outstanding reliability and high transfer efficiency compa block is a smart solution that will brighten up your process economy hello I'm Patrick Albertson business manager at Alfa Laval and this is compa block a condenser with a unique design comparable delivers maximum performance in minimum space whether it's installed in a pilot plant or a multipurpose production plant you probably guessed that it's not quite this small but it will significantly reduce your installation footprint combo block is based on an innovative concept completely different from traditional shell and tube condensers and graphite blocks it's a big step forward both technically and in terms of cost benefits the combo block fits in anywhere it's probably the most compact efficient and versatile condenser in the world the small footprint is a result of its outstanding heat transfer efficiency complic can occupy less than one-fifth of the space required for a shell and tube solution capital and installation costs are low and compa block can provide a two in one solution for example combining a primary and vent condenser in a single unit the hygienic compa block condenser meets cgmp requirements it's fully drainable and there is no liquid retention inside the unit the compa block is easy to clean and fully accessible for inspection and validation of the cleaning results kampala is a flexible solution designed to handle corrosive environments and aggressive fluids it's available in a wide range of different alloys ranging from stainless steel to titanium Hostel oiz and even tantalum making it ideal for a multi-purpose plant the heat transfer plate pack consists of a welded stack of corrugated plates the corrugated pattern creates a high level of turbulence resulting in very efficiently transfer vapor enters the connection on the top and condenses on the cold plates the condensate is extracted at the bottom the cooling media is forced through several passes with the help of baffles in order to maximize turbulence thus boosting the heat transfer coefficient the high turbulence also minimizes fouling and scaling problems compa block can be installed as a solvent condenser for reactors and dryers in solvent recovery systems and is highly suitable for deep vacuum duties let's take a look at how those benefits transfer into real life merck pharmaceutical production plant darmstadt germany more than 100 compa block condensers used as reactor condensers and condensers for dryers demands a compact reliable and hygienic solution result trouble-free operation MTG mercs cgmp requirements synthol pharmaceutical production plant shanghai china 20 compa block condensers used as reactor condensers demands a cost-efficient solution that handles corrosive media and meets cGMP requirements result reliable operation with very good quality and optimum performance Kampala is a smart and versatile solution whatever your condensing needs you'll achieve significant savings in both energy and installation cost while ensuring high reliability small package big impact on process economy highly reliable our genic design lower emissions compact solution you
