The pellet cooler from Solex Thermal Science ensures particle thermal stabilization using indirect heat transfer, creating conduction through each pellet to stabilize the particles to prevent decomposition and possible smoldering. It uses process effluent water as the heat transfer medium with no emissions since fans or blowers are not required. It requires minimal space and is available in capacities ranging from 1,000 to 25,000 pounds per hour, with incoming temperatures up to 200 degrees F. 403/254-3500; www.solexthermal.com.
