TV15-FCMEE-EVP-3STTA | Force Circulation MEE Evaporator System 15 m3/day

Technical Specifications

Overview of the MEE Evaporator System TV15-FCMEE-EVP-3STTA

The Force Circulation MEE Evaporator System: TV15-FCMEE-EVP-3STTA is a multi-effect evaporation system designed and manufactured by TVTS, which has opacacity is 15 m3/day.

This MEE evaporator system is not integrated with crystallization functionality, focusing entirely on efficient water evaporation and solution concentration.

The system consists of 1, 2, or 3 evaporation effects and offers flexible design capacities ranging from 5 m³/day to over 500 m³/day, depending on feed characteristics and process demands.
It is widely applied across food processing, chemical, pharmaceutical, desalination, pulp & paper, and industrial wastewater treatment industries.

1. Working Principle of the Force Circulation MEE Evaporator

The Force Circulation MEE operates on the principle of using vapor from the previous effect as the heating medium for the next stage.
This multi-effect configuration allows repeated reuse of vapor energy, significantly reducing overall steam consumption and improving thermal efficiency.

The process is supported by a high-capacity circulation pump, which maintains continuous liquid flow through the heat exchanger, ensuring stable heat transfer and minimizing scaling or fouling.

2. Advantages of the MEE Evaporator System

🔹 Durable, Heat-Resistant Materials

Constructed from Titanium, Duplex, or Stainless Steel 316L, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, and a long operational lifespan in harsh conditions.

🔹 Superior Energy Efficiency

The multi-effect evaporation (MEE) design reuses vapor heat from one stage to the next, resulting in 40–60% lower energy consumption than single-effect evaporators.

🔹 Effective Handling of Viscous or Scaling Solutions

The forced circulation design keeps liquid flowing continuously, preventing sedimentation and minimizing scaling on heat transfer surfaces — enhancing system performance and extending operation time.

🔹 High Performance and Stability

The system can operate continuously for long periods without frequent shutdowns for cleaning.
Operating parameters such as pressure, temperature, and circulation rate can be flexibly adjusted to match the solution’s physical properties.

3. Limitations

⚙️ Higher Initial Investment

The Force Circulation MEE Evaporator requires powerful circulation pumps and multiple heat exchangers, leading to a higher initial cost than standard evaporators.

⚙️ Periodic Maintenance Required

Although scaling is reduced, periodic cleaning and maintenance are still needed to maintain system efficiency — especially for pumps, heat exchangers, and valves.

⚙️ Requires Skilled Operation

Operation and maintenance must be performed by qualified technicians familiar with multi-effect evaporation and forced circulation systems to ensure stable and safe operation.
