Introduction
Komax Systems specializes in municipal sludge heating solutions using advanced heat exchangers and steam heaters. Their technology focuses on efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and non-clogging designs.

Jacketed Heat Exchanger
The Komax Jacketed Heat Exchanger utilizes the patented Hi-Pass™ static mixer to enhance heat transfer by creating high turbulence, which removes the internal film coefficient. This design is four to six times more efficient than traditional straight-jacketed pipe heat exchangers and offers lower costs and higher performance compared to spiral or shell and tube heat exchangers. Available in carbon or stainless steel, these exchangers can handle sludge flow rates from 100 gpm to 10,000 gpm.

• Non-clogging static mixing elements
• Maintenance-free design
• Efficient heat transfer
• Pre-heats sludge for digesters
• Utilizes boiler hot water
• Recovers heat from digester sludge

Direct Steam Heater
Komax Direct Steam Heaters provide precise temperature control for municipal sludge, being 25% more efficient and 60% less costly than shell and tube or spiral-type heat exchangers. They are designed for sludge flow rates from 50 gpm to 5,000 gpm and can increase digester temperatures to 130º F or higher, producing Class A biosolids in half the retention time of conventional digesters.

• Compact design with no moving parts
• Flanges directly into sludge feed lines
• Installed in major wastewater treatment plants

Static Mixers
Komax's low pressure drop, non-clogging static mixers are designed for efficient mixing of polymers into municipal sludge. They have been rated highly in tests for mixing efficiency and low pressure drop. These mixers are suitable for water treatment applications, including mixing chlorine, alum, polymer, and chemicals for pH control.

• Available in various materials and sizes
• Can be supplied as complete assemblies or components
• Integrated flanged mixing systems available
