FilmVap
Proven and reliable, the Alfa Laval FilmVap falling film evaporator effectively concentrates large volumes of low- to medium-fouling liquids – economically and energy-efficiently. Robust and easy to operate and maintain, this multiple-effect, shell-and-tube evaporator takes up less than comparable units, due to its innovative arrangement of highly efficient vapour-liquid separators. Uniform liquid distribution and adequate wetting helps reduce fouling, cleaning frequency and downtime.
High volumes of quality concentrate from heat-sensitive, fouling-prone process liquids in a compact, high-efficiency, low-maintenance evaporator
- High quality condensate due to efficient liquid distribution and vapour-liquid separation under vacuum conditions
- Low maintenance requirements due to low temperatures and high heat transfer efficiency, which reduce fouling
- Robust, user-friendly design with broad operating range for more uptime and low maintenance
- Versatile, easy to operate and highly adaptable to a wide variety of applications and capacities up to 50 tons per hour in a single unit
- Enhanced energy efficiency through the use of a multiple-effect arrangement or the addition of thermal or mechanical vapor recompression units
Optimize concentration of temperature-sensitive, low- to medium-viscosity process liquids with the Alfa Laval FilmVap falling-film evaporator. Low temperature differences, high heat transfer efficiency and high fouling resistance due to minimal product surface contact time make this falling film tubular evaporator FilmVap a solid choice for a broad range of evaporation duties.
Compact, economical, and easy to operate and easy to maintain, it is ideal for processing low- to-medium viscosity process liquids at capacities up to 50 tons per hour. Realize additional energy efficiency by using multiple effect configurations or combining the Alfa Laval FilmVap falling film evaporator with thermal vapour recompression (TVR) and/or mechanical vapour recompression (MVR) units.
Pioneer management is very happy with the commitment level, technical competency and dedication of the Alfa Laval team. – Mr. S.S. Tomar, Chief Executive Officer, Pioneer Industries Ltd., Pathankot Punjab, India (Energy savings from concentrating spent wash from grain-based distillery using alcohol vapour from the distillation columns as the only heating medium/fuel.)
After finalizing on our requirement for the new bio methanated spent wash evaporator plant, we discussed our vision of achieving zero liquid discharge with Alfa Laval experts. Alfa Laval came up with the innovative feed degasification and condensate stripping systems. – Mr. H.K.Yadava, General Manager – Distillery, Harinagar Sugar Mills, Bihar, India (Zero liquid discharge from distillery wastewater)
