4. Conclusions and outlook

The flow-through tube technique benefits from a simple principle and a strong differentiation from conventional solutions.

In the food industry, simplicity, flexibility, low inertia and performance ensure a wide range of applications, from heating viscous fluids to sterilizing sensitive products.

In the chemical industry, reliability, sturdiness and compactness are major assets for applications such as heavy fuel heating or high-temperature treatment of corrosive gases.

TPC's adaptability makes it a "tailor-made" system for overcoming technological barriers:

• heating of highly sensitive food products with improved heat exchange surfaces;

• heating divided solids with a compact, innovative solution;

• flexible,...
