  • Hydrogenation in a plate heat exchanger
    Patent number: 5360920
    Abstract: Fatty materials are hydrogenated in a plate heat exchanger at a pressure above about 150 psig. The use of high pressure and high shear as provided by the appropriate surface to volume ratio and pressure drop in the heat exchanger, enables the fatty material to be efficiently hydrogenated, and for touch hardening the temperature can be reduced to minimize the formation of trans-isomers.
