TV-PHEMEE-EC-3STTA – Multi-Effect Plate Heat Exchanger MEE Evaporator System
The TV-PHEMEE-EC-3STTA is a Multi-Effect Plate Heat Exchanger MEE Evaporator System designed, manufactured, and supplied by TVTS to meet customer-specific technical and process requirements.
Each system is built with a design capacity ranging from 35 m³/day up to 200 m³/day, making it suitable for small to large-scale industrial applications.
This MEE evaporator system is an energy-efficient and cost-effective solution for liquid concentration and crystallization, especially for heat-sensitive and scaling-prone liquids.
The system enables complete separation of water from feed solutions, producing pure condensate and crystallized solids as final outputs.
1. Advantages of the Multi-Effect Plate Heat Exchanger MEE Evaporator System
High Heat Transfer Efficiency
The plate heat exchanger design optimizes surface area for superior heat transfer, allowing faster and more efficient thermal exchange during evaporation.
Energy Savings
The multi-effect evaporation (MEE) configuration reuses vapor energy through successive effects, significantly reducing steam consumption and improving energy efficiency compared to single-effect evaporators.
Compact and Space-Saving Design
Thanks to the plate heat exchanger configuration, the system is lightweight and compact, ideal for facilities with limited floor space.
Easy Cleaning and Maintenance
The simple plate structure allows quick disassembly, easy cleaning, and minimal downtime, thereby lowering operating and maintenance costs.
Suitable for Viscous or Scaling Solutions
The system effectively handles high-viscosity and scaling-prone liquids, maintaining stable operation and avoiding clogging in continuous industrial use.
2. Limitations of the Plate Heat Exchanger MEE System
Pressure and Temperature Limitations
Due to the thin-plate design, the system is not ideal for very high-pressure or high-temperature applications, limiting its use in certain heavy industrial sectors.
High Initial Investment
The TV-PHEMEE-EC-3STTA Multi-Effect Plate Heat Exchanger MEE Evaporator System has a higher initial cost compared to conventional evaporators due to its advanced engineering and premium Titanium materials.
Limited Scalability
For extremely large capacities, plate-type MEE systems may be less flexible to expand than tubular designs, especially when handling massive solution volumes.
3. Typical Industrial Applications
Food and Beverage Industry
Used for concentrating milk, fruit juice, syrup, and other food liquids while maintaining nutritional value and product quality.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Ideal for concentrating bioactive or temperature-sensitive solutions, ensuring purity and preserving product activity.
Chemical Industry
The Multi-Effect Plate Heat Exchanger MEE Evaporator System efficiently processes viscous or scaling chemical solutions, reducing energy usage and maintenance frequency.
Wastewater Treatment
Applied in industrial wastewater concentration to minimize total discharge and recover valuable dissolved solids and reusable water — supporting Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) initiatives.
