Evaporators
Evaporation is a thermal separation method dividing a feed flow of liquid into a condensate stream and a concentrate stream, the latter having a higher dry matter concentration than the feed stream. In most cases the condensate will be very clean distilled water.
The EPCON evaporators are characterized by an energy optimized design, compact layout and high reliability. EPCON can deliver the evaporator technology listed below, either as standalone units or in combined systems.
MVR
MVR or mechanical vapour recompression is a technology where the vapour is compressed in a compressor or fan to a higher temperature and pressure. This compressed vapour is then used as energy source instead of boiler steam.
Most of the evaporators proposed and delivered by EPCON are based on MVR technology, which normally provides an energy saving in the range of 80-98%. EPCON has more than 20 years of competence in MVR technology.
