**Sigma Thermal’s Glycol Heater Utilized in Potash Mining Operations**
Posted by Nicole Laney on March 24, 2020, 12:40 PM | Leave a Comment
As the potash mining sector continues to evolve, Sigma Thermal remains committed to delivering cutting-edge solutions through ongoing innovation and system enhancements. Our approach to continuous improvement involves close collaboration with a global network of industry leaders to craft inventive answers to pressing challenges.
One notable example comes from Inproheat Industries, one of our esteemed Canadian partners. They successfully integrated their proprietary Submerged Combustion Technology—known as SubCom®—alongside a Sigma Thermal heater into a potash mining project. This project highlights the adaptability and efficiency of these technologies in meeting complex industrial demands.

### The Potash Mining Initiative – Saskatchewan, Canada
A project undertaken in Saskatchewan during 2019–2020 serves as a prime illustration of how innovative approaches can revolutionize potash solution mining. Early in the project's development phase, Inproheat Industries received a request to propose a submerged combustion system capable of heating highly corrosive saturated potash brine up to 110°C. Familiar with SubCom's exceptional energy efficiency and its capability to handle scaling solutions effectively, the engineering team felt confident this technology would be ideal for the task. Working closely with the client, Inproheat Industries meticulously developed the engineering specifications and system designs, enlisting the help of trusted industry partners to source critical components tailored to the project's specific needs.
The final system comprises a three-burner SubCom setup that preheats the brine to 82°C at a rate of 51 million British thermal units per hour (MM Btu/h). Following this initial step, the heated brine passes through a Sigma Thermal HC2 Glycol Heater, which raises the temperature further to between 100°C and 110°C before reaching the injection pumps. Additionally, Tranter plate-and-frame heat exchangers are employed to transfer residual heat from recovery well brine back into the injection brine stream.
This project's primary goals were to deliver a high-performance, environmentally friendly potash mining solution that would significantly benefit Saskatchewan economically. Through collaboration among Inproheat, Sigma Thermal, Tranter, and other partners, the client's requirements were thoroughly evaluated, and an outstanding system solution was implemented, supported by dedicated assistance throughout every stage of development.
