Hot water/steam evaporator with natural circulation and heat exchanger with scraped heating surfaces.
Vue d'ensemble
The AC R series evaporators have a heating system based on hot water or steam and operate under vacuum at 5 kPa and around 40°C (104°F). The client usually supplies the necessary power and mains water for heating the feed and cooling the distillate.
The output streams are: a distillate that can be recycled as water and a solid or semi-solid concentrate with a TDS content > 90%.
The AC R series evaporators are designed to work both continuously and per batch, by using a pump to discharge concentrate or by stopping the process and emptying boiling chamber.
The AC R series production capacity varies from 3,000 to 12,000 liters per day. By using an optional intermediate heat exchanger, the AC R series can operate using steam as the heat source. As in every EVALED® product, evaporation process is controlled by a PLC, that controls the automatic feeding of wastewater to be treated and distillate and concentrate discharge, requiring only minimum supervision by the operator.
The AC R series is particularly suitable when:
- it is necessary to minimize the concentrate (to send to disposal)
- wastewater has a very high initial content of dissolved or suspended substances
- wastewater has already been pre-concentrated
- daily volumes are relatively small
- it is necessary to recycle high quality concentrate.
The AC R series evaporators are particularly suitable for:
- Landfills & waste disposal
- Glavanic industry
- Food & Beverage industry
- Mechanical, steel & automotive industry
- Chemical industry
- Printing
- Energy
