Mechanical Vapor Compression MVC Evaporator
The ENCON MVC Evaporator is a forced circulation flash evaporator utilizing mechanical vapor compression. Available in capacities from 300-4,000 gallons/hour, these highly automated systems operate on steam and compressed air at a typical operating cost of $0.01-$0.02 per gallon of condensate. A variety of material of construction options are available to handle just about any waste stream.
Thermal separation processes such as evaporation and distillation can be energy intensive. In conventional evaporators, the energy content of steam vapor produced is lost to a large extent. Using mechanical vapor compression in our MVC Evaporators permits the continuous recycling of this energy by compressing the steam to a higher pressure and temperature. This steam is then used to heat the mother liquid.
Mechanical Vapor Compression not only greatly reduces energy costs, it also reduces the CO2 footprint. Of course, reduced energy costs doesn't matter if you're not getting the results expected. That is why ENCON custom designs and builds each MVC specific to the individual wastewater characteristics to provide the customer with the full purchased evaporation rate. The ENCON MVC Evaporator is designed for heavy duty industrial usage utilizing name brand, high quality components for long lasting performance and safety. Our four step mist-elimination process ensures the highest quality distillate.
MVC Features & Benefits
ENCON Evaporators custom designs and builds each MVC Evaporator to each customer's individual wastewater characteristics. This allows us to provide the lowest possible operating cost while also providing the full purchased evaporation rate, which is often not possible with "one size fits all" designs.
Each system’s mass and energy balance is created specific to the client application. All evaporator components are selected specifically for client application and client preferences. ENCON will provide full P&ID created to client's specific application and process. Custom design also allows the correct materials of construction to be utilized for corrosion resistance
