Multiple Effect Evaporator

Our Multiple Effect Evaporator plants ( MEE PLANT ) are specially designed considering rising Steam consumption cost across the Industry. Conventional old technology Multi Effect Evaporators use steam to evaporate water from the evaporator. Due to high steam economyconsumption, Industry faces a huge problem ofhigh running cost.

To reduce the running cost, Lombardyne has implemented Mechanical vapourRe-compressor( MVR )technology in all our MEE evaporators. This technology works by efficiently usingthe heat from steam which is generated at the evaporation tank inside the process equipment.

¿¿¿Inside the Multiple Effect Evaporator, whenthe evaporator water is boiled inside the tank, the steam released iscompressedby a Compressor and transferred to a Heat Exchanger where large volumes of heat is recovered back to the evaporator tank.

¿¿¿The temperature of the water decreases due to evaporation and the boiling temperature of water reduces, but due to heat recovery, the temperature again increases as it recovers the heat recovered from steam. Thus this results in much lower running costcomparedto a conventional Multiple effect evaporator which absorbs heat from steam.

Due to the recovery of large volumes of heat from steam, our forced circulation evaporatorsreduce running cost upto 60%whencomparedto conventional Steam Evaporators available in the market.

All our Multiple Effect Evaporators or Vacuum Evaporatorsareinbuilt with Heat Pumpwhich further contributes in reduction of running cost. Due to Heat Pump Technology,there is a reduction in the boiling point of the watereffluent. This results in superior quality of condensate released from the evaporator. Thus ourevaporators can work in single effect evaporator mode i.e in Single Stageand deliver the same quality of product which conventional multi effect evaporators deliver using multiple stages.

Old technology conventional Multiple effect evaporators can concentrate the effluent upto maximum 250000 TDS ( 25% ) The remainingconcentrationand de-watering has to be done by a dryer or an ATFD. Lombardyne Evaporators areinbuilt with Concentrators which can concentrate effluent upto 550000 ( 55% ).This results in smaller dryer units or lesser steam consumption for ATFD.
