Single-Effect Falling Film Evaporation Pilot Plant Techncial Training Equipment

UME Single-Effect Falling Film Evaporation Pilot Plant Techncial Training Equipment

This unit consists of a falling-film evaporator equipped with a shell-and-tube condenser. The evaporator is fed by a metering pump and it operates under vacuum thanks to a liquid-ring vacuum pump.
TRAINING PROGRAM
This unit enables to deepen the following issues:
• Mass balances
• Energy balances
• Determination of heat transfer coefficient
• Optimization of evaporation process
