Frequently asked questions

Should cold losses be included?
Yes, add a margin for real equipment: heat exchanger efficiency and network losses are usually a few percent.

The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
