Tripe Washing - Hydro-Thermal Corp. Flow Rate: 0-30 GPM [0-7 m3/hr] Inlet Temperature: 155°F [68°C] Outlet Temperature: 200°F [93°C] Water Pressure: 55 PSIG [3.8 barg] Steam Pressure: 75 PSIG [5.2 barg] A Midwest beef processing plant needed to maintain accurate temperature control and product quality for tripe washing in batch tanks. They were utilizing a direct fire heater to take the central hot water loop up to 155°F [68°C]. They then needed to augment that to 200°F [93°C] for proper tripe washing at fluctuating flow rates from 0 to 30gpm [0-7 m3/hr] running for 5 minutes and then off for 5 minutes. A competitive direct steam injection heater was doing this augmenting, but they were struggling to keep temperature due to scaling and performance issues, which is critical to th
