Plate heat exchangers for hydrocarbon recovery

The one i use is probably a bit overkill for most peoples needs but I’m currently using a 6"x12" tube and shell with 37 tubes. It has a surface area of 3.58 square feet. I have a spray head feeding the tube and shell that give really good coverage on all of the tubes.

I am trying to go the opposite way.

Basically, post LPG extraction, I want to use a heat exchanger to increase the BHO-miscella temp from ~-50 C to, I don’t know, maybe -25 C? -15 C? Not sure what is realistic to expect. With the ultimate goal of reducing the heating time of solvent recovery.

Tube and shell will work way better for that
