    Description

    MVR Evaporation plant delivers substantial operational cost savings in areas with an ample supply of low-cost electrical energy.

    Once an MVR evaporation plant is running, little or no additional steam is required. In the MVR evaporation plant, a centrifugal fan is used to recompress the vapour to a higher pressure, resulting in a temperature rise. This means that the recompressed vapour can be used as the evaporation plant heating medium, while the condensate is ideal for preheating of the feed product.

    For low boiling point increases, a single-stage compressor can be used to fulfill the requirements of the design.

    For high boiling point increases, we will provide two designs: multiple-stage compressors, single stage compressors combined with multiple-effect.

    The MVR evaporation plant almost doesn't use steam — electric energy is required as the main energy source.

    The power consumption of the main motor of MVR is due to the heat exchange area and the evaporating temperature of the evaporation plant. The Heat exchange area is bigger, and as a result, power consumption is lower, but the investment in equipment is increased.

    Evaporating temperature is higher and as a result, power consumption is lower, but fouling in the calandria is therefore increased; Evaporating temperature is lower and as a result, power consumption is higher.

    MVR can be powered by an electric motor, the rotary speed of an MVR can be controlled by a frequency converter, and the rotary speed of an MVR may control the evaporation rate and final concentration of the MVR evaporation plant.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    What is an MVR Evaporation Plant and how does it work?
    An MVR (Mechanical Vapour Recompression) Evaporation Plant uses a centrifugal fan to recompress the secondary vapour generated during evaporation to a higher pressure, which raises its temperature. This recompressed vapour is then reused as the heating medium within the evaporator, significantly reducing the need for external steam. The condensate produced is also used to preheat the incoming feed product, further improving energy efficiency.
    What are the main energy advantages of an MVR Evaporation Plant compared to a multiple-effect evaporation plant?
    The MVR evaporation plant operates primarily on electric power rather than steam, resulting in dramatically lower energy costs. For example, at an evaporation rate of 50T/h running 8,000 hours per year, a 4-effect evaporation plant may cost 14,080,000 RMB annually in energy, while an MVR plant costs only 6,400,000 RMB — saving approximately 7,680,000 RMB per year.
    What industries are MVR Evaporation Plants most suitable for?
    MVR Evaporation Plants are particularly suited for the food and beverages industry (evaporation of milk, whey, and sugar solutions), the chemical industry (evaporation of aqueous solutions), the salt works industry (evaporation of saline solutions), and environmental protection technology (concentration of wastewater).
    How is the evaporation rate and final concentration controlled in an MVR system?
    The MVR is powered by an electric motor whose rotary speed can be precisely controlled by a frequency converter. By adjusting the rotary speed of the MVR, operators can effectively control both the evaporation rate and the final concentration of the product, providing excellent flexibility and partial load behaviour.
    What compressor configurations are available for different boiling point increases?
    For applications with low boiling point increases, a single-stage compressor is sufficient to meet the design requirements. For applications with high boiling point increases, two design options are available: multiple-stage compressors, or a single-stage compressor combined with a multiple-effect evaporation arrangement, depending on the specific process needs.
    What key parameters are required to select the right evaporation plant design?
    Selecting the correct evaporation plant requires a thorough evaluation of several parameters, including: capacity and operation data (product name, feeding concentration, evaporation rate), product properties (viscosity, fouling tendency, boiling point), utility requirements (steam pressure, cooling water temperature, electricity pricing), waste heat parameters (from dryers or other sources), material selection for all wetted parts, and the preferred energy efficiency approach (MVR, TVR, multiple-effect, or waste heat evaporation).
