Evaporator

An Evaporator is a critical device used in wastewater treatment to concentrate liquid solutions by evaporating the water content. It works by applying heat to separate water from waste streams, leaving behind a more concentrated solution or slurry. This helps industries reduce the volume of wastewater, recover valuable materials, and lower disposal costs. Evaporators are widely used in sectors like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food processing, and textiles.

Multi-Effect Evaporator (MEE)

A Multi-Effect Evaporator (MEE) is a highly efficient type of evaporator designed to reduce energy consumption by utilizing the vapor generated from one effect (or stage) as the heating medium for the next. In a typical MEE system, the process involves multiple stages where the pressure decreases progressively. This allows the system to achieve high levels of water removal with less energy compared to single-stage evaporators. MEEs are particularly effective in Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems and are favoured in industries aiming to minimize energy usage and environmental impact.
