Low-Maintenance Reheaters And Condensers In Vacuum Distillation Of Wastewater

CHALLENGE

Upgrade heat exchangers used as reheaters in vacuum vaporization to recover water, while concentrating non-volatiles for post-treatment, so as to avoid rapid corrosion of heat exchange surfaces experienced in atmospheric heated distillation of wastewater.

SOLUTION

Tranter SUPERMAX® Shell And Plate Heat Exchangers.

RESULTS

  • High heat transfer rates optimize thermal efficiency and water recovery.
  • Also being employed as highly efficient primary and secondary vapor condensers.
  • Resisting corrosion in highly aggressive wastewater streams.

Tranter SUPERMAX® Shell And Plate Heat Exchangers concentrate dilute wastewaters with high uptime as vacuum distillation reheaters and condensers.
