Type of device (classification by energy recovery method)
Multi Effect Concentrator
1EFFECT
- Basic type consisting of one heat exchanger and one evaporator
- The evaporated vapor is condensed in the vacuum condenser.
- On evaporating 1 ton of wastewater, about 1.2 tons of steam is required.
- If using waste heat, evaporative concentration is economical.
2EFFECT
- 2 Two-stage composed of two heat exchangers and two evaporators.
- The vapor evaporated in the second stage is used for concentration in the first stage.
- Evaporation of 1 ton of waste water requires about 0.6 ton of steam.
- It can be applied for concentration of medium and small wastewater.
3EFFECT (Steam consumption comparison)
Steam consumption comparison
- 1 EFFECT (1.2 ton steam / 1.0 ton waste water)
- 2 EFFECT (0.6 ton steam / 1.0 ton waste water)
- 3 EFFECT (0.4 ton steam / 1.0 ton waste water)
- 4 EFFECT (0.3 ton steam / 1.0 ton waste water)
