Example in practise - Reactors in colleges
At the API plant of the company ALTANA Pharma AG situated in Singen/Germany several consumers had to be controlled in a temperature range from -20 up to 160 °C. It was requested to integrate the existing infrastructure and to use the primary thermal energies in an optimum way. Chilling had to be provided by a mobile refrigeration system that – if requested – could be docked at the secondary circuit units by means of quick couplings.
In this case LAUDA built a compact Plug & Play solution including the monitoring and control systems, all being part of the LAUDA module system range. All units communicate with the central process management system (SCADA/DCS) via exactly defined interfaces. All units were completely factory acceptance tested (FAT) in the LAUDA test area in order to arrive at the customer site ready for connection. All 11 units were commissioned by LAUDA and ALTANA in record quick time.

Heating, cooling and chilling of reactors in colleges
Application:
Heating, cooling and chilling of reactors in a temperature range from -20 up to 160 °C.
- Heating
A steam network of 170 °C was available. The heat transfer fluid was
heated to the desired temperature by means of a heat exchanger.
- Cooling
A cooling water network of 25°C was available. The heat transfer fluid was
cooled down to the desired temperature by means of a heat exchanger.
- Chilling
As there was no refrigeration source at site, it was necessary to generate
one. As chilling was only required from time to time, a mobile refrigeration
unit was used, which can be easily connected by means of quick couplings.
