Thermal Vacuum Evaporator
Why use vacuum evaporation?
Vacuum evaporation can provide an effective solution for companies looking to reduce the volume of industrial wastewater requiring treatment or disposal. The process separates water from dissolved or suspended substances, producing a concentrated residue and a distillate that may, depending on the process, be suitable for reuse or further treatment.
Operating under vacuum lowers the boiling temperature of the liquid compared with evaporation at atmospheric pressure. This makes vacuum evaporation particularly suitable for applications involving temperature-sensitive products and processes where energy consumption and operating costs are important considerations.
Potential benefits include:
- Reduced volume of wastewater requiring disposal
- Lower waste transport and disposal costs
- Recovery of water for potential reuse within the process
- Concentration and potential recovery of valuable process materials
- Treatment of liquids that may be difficult or expensive to manage using conventional methods
- Lower processing temperatures through operation under vacuum
Eurovacuum can help assess the characteristics of the liquid to be treated, the required daily treatment capacity and the desired concentration or water recovery objective. This allows us to recommend the most appropriate evaporator configuration for the application.
Which vacuum evaporator is right for your process?
Compare the two evaporation technologies to help identify the most suitable approach for your process.
Heat Pump Vacuum Evaporator
Uses a refrigeration/heat pump cycle to provide the energy required for evaporation. This can be a sgood option where a dedicated, self contained evaporation system is required and a suitable external heat source is not available.
Thermal Vacuum Evaporator
Uses an external source of thermal energy to drive the evaporation process. This can be particularly suitable where useable thermal energy is already available from the manufacturing process or another heat source.
