Custom Solution for Fruit Alcohol Producer
Customized solution
A major fruit alcohol producer in the province of Ravenna, among the industry leaders in Italy, turned to W-Tech to solve critical issues related to heat dissipation systems in its production processes.
Customer challenges
The company was simultaneously facing several critical issues that compromised production efficiency:
– Aggressive Atmosphere Corrosion
Previously installed evaporative towers could not withstand the plants’aggressive atmosphere, characterized by a high concentration of tartaric acid, typical of fermentation and distillation processes.
– Increased Production Capacity
The need to increase production required more powerful and reliable cooling systems.
– Noise Control
The acoustic problems reported by homes adjacent to the factories made it necessary to implement industrial noise control solutions.
The W-Tech Technical Solution
Our specialized technical department conducted an in-depth analysis of the data provided by the company, developing integrated solutions for:
- Corrosion resistance in aggressive atmosphere
- Increased heat dissipation power
- Management of high outdoor temperatures
- Industrial noise abatement
