Proppants - Solex Heat Exchange Technology for Resin Coated Proppant Applications

Solex heat exchange technology is engineered specifically for heating or cooling free flowing bulk solid materials such as resin coated proppants. The indirect plate heat exchange technology is the preferred technology for proppant applications for a number of reasons: it uses up to 90% less energy, enables precise process control of the cooling and heating process and does not degrade or alter the shape of the proppants during the heat transfer process.

Uses up to 90% Less Energy

The Solex heat exchange technology cools and heats proppant sand indirectly, without the use of air. This highly efficient technology uses up to 90% less energy than technology that require large volumes of air.

Product Integrity is Maintained While Cooling & Heating Resin Coated Proppants

During the heat exchange process, propannts move through the Solex cooler with low velocities preventing product abrasion or degradation. The slow and controlled movement of the proppant through the heat exchanger ensures that the integrity of the resin coated proppants is retained. The Solex technology ensures proppant product quality is consistent.

Low Operating and Installation Costs for Proppant Applications

The Solex heat exchanger is designed to operate without any moving parts, offering simple and easy maintenance and years of low cost and reliable operation when cooling or heating proppants. Furthermore, only a cooling or heating source is required, limiting the installation requirements and costs.

Compact Design

The vertical configuration gives the Solex heat exchanger a small installation footprint, making it an ideal choice for proppant applications.
