    The document provides an overview of evaporation technologies used in water treatment. It discusses different types of evaporators like falling film, rising film, and forced circulation evaporators. It also describes components of multi-effect evaporation systems like calandrias, flash vessels, recirculation pumps, vacuum pumps, cooling towers, and salt separators. Thermal vapor recompression and mechanical vapor recompression systems for steam reutilization are also compared.

    WHAT IS EVAPORATION
    • Evaporation is a unit operation where liquid is
    converted into vapour
    • For us in water industry, it is unit process
    where water is recovered by evaporating in
    multiple stage and condensing it for reuse
    WHAT IS CALANDRIA
    • Calandria is heat exchanger where liquid is
    heated up with external heat source
    WHAT IS FLASH VESSELS
    • A flash vessels is a vessel where is pressure
    maintained below atmospheric pressure to
    help the liquid vaporize due to reduction in
    pressure
    • The reduced pressure leads to lower saturation
    temperature hence water evaporates
    • Only partial evaporation happens as latent heat
    for vaporization is drawn from liquid
    TYPICAL CALANDRIA
    TYPES OF EVAPORATORS
    • This is based on liquid flows in calandria
    • Falling Film Evaporation
    • Raising Film Evaporation
    • Forced Circulation Evaporation
    FALLING FILM EVAPORATION
    WHERE IS IT APPLIED
    • In case of viscous liquids
    • Highly corrosive liquids
    • When temperature control is critical for
    product recovery
    • Advantages
    • Low Power and Low holding volume
    RISING FILM EVAPORATOR
    WHERE IS IT APPLIED
    • Pure or non crystal forming liquids
    • Foamy Liquids
    • Liquids containing fine suspended particles
    • Advantages
    • High tube velocity reduce fouling
    • High concentration at low temperature
    FORCED CIRCULATION EVAPORATION
    WHERE IS IT APPLIED
    • Crystal Forming Liquids
    • Very viscous liquids
    • Scaling liquids tending produce scale
    • Advantages
    • Velocity mechanically produced and controlled
    • High Tube Velocity
    • High rate of heat transfer & rapid evaopration
    • Tubes are easily cleanable
    • Operates with extremely low temperature diff
    • Large heating surfaces
    HOW DOES MULTI EFFECT EVAPORATION
    WORK
    UTILITY REQUIREMENTS
    • Feed Water till feed tank
    • Steam inlet up to battery limit

    • Points to Notice
    • MOC of Shell
    • Instrumentation like Vacuum Gauge, liquid
    level
    RECIRCULATION PUMPS
    • Recirculation Pumps : For recirculation liquid in calandria
    • Should be only propeller type as head required is too low
    • No stand by can be offered only store stand by will be
    provided
    • Points to Notice
    • MOC of Pump
    • Make of Pump
    • Type of Seal only double mechanical seal is
    recommended
    PROPELLER PUMP

    • Vacuum Pumps : To maintain vacuum across
    flash vessels to reduce flashing or vaporization
    temp
    • Points
    • No of pumps
    • Make of pumps
    SEAL COOLING SYSTEM
    • Purpose is to cool the mechanical seals of the
    recirculation pumps
    • Consists of a pump, small tank and plate heat
    exchanger
    • Cooled water is re circulated to recirculation
    pumps
    • Heat Exchanger needs water from cooling
    tower to reduce temperature

    • Minimal maintenance
    • Suitable for hazardous area
    • Simple to operate and install
    MVR
    ALTERNATE VIEW
    ADVANTAGE OF MVR
    • Almost no steam operation. Steam is required
    only start up once started very low amount of
    steam is required
    • No Cooling Water Requirement
    DISADVANTAGES OF MVR
    • Turn down of MVR is only 35 % due to
    constraints on compressor operation
    • Operation of compressor
    • Only one reliable vendor i.e Howdon
    • High rpm compressor needs huge
    maintenance
