Advanced technologies in the realm of wastewater management are quite important to meet the stringent environmental standards and for the goal of promoting sustainability. One such technology is the Multi Effect Evaporator an important tool for efficiently treating the industrial effluent. This case study explains the installation and its benefits of a 30 KLD Triple Effect Evaporator for a reputed Specialty Chemicals Company, Taloja.
What is a Multi Effect Evaporator?
Multi Effect Evaporator is a quite elaborate system used for solution concentration, mainly within those industries where wastewater treatment is of prime importance. The MEE principle is based on the fact that the evaporated steam from one evaporator serves to heat up the following evaporator. This, in turn, saves energy and subsequently improves efficiency. In this sequential evaporation process, the overall energy consumption gets considerably reduced compared to single-stage evaporators.
Case Study: The 30 KLD Triple Effect Evaporator
Project Overview
Our client, a leading specialty chemicals group, faced huge challenges in the management of water-wash arising from the manufacture of pigments and pharmaceutical intermediates. This high volume therefore necessitated an effective and sustainable solution for the treatment of the generated process wastewater. Goldfinch Evaporation Systems was commissioned for designing and installing a 30 KLD Triple Effect Evaporator for the same.
System Design
This triple-effect evaporator is rated at 30 KLD, designed with due considerations to cater to the complex wastewater streams originating from the client’s manufacturing processes. It incorporates three phases of evaporation, whereby steam produced at any previous stage is reused for the subsequent phase in order to make the effluent as concentrated as possible. This innovation of design reaps maximum recovery of such valuable condensate, which is reutilized in the manufacturing process and hence reduces fresh water intake, besides reducing operating costs to a minimum.
Installation and Commissioning
The installation process was done to perfection to ensure minimal disturbance to the continuous running of the client’s operation. The commissioning of the evaporator will be meticulously handled by Goldfinch’s expert team, who has handled thorough tests for its perfect performance. This system has been integrated into the existing infrastructure of the client, hence achieving a big leap towards the sustainability journey.
Benefits of Multi Effect Evaporator
Energy Efficiency
The main outstanding benefit associated with the Multi Effect Evaporator is impressive energy efficiency. Reusing steam across several stages, this MEE system reduces significantly the energy consumption, hence the cost of the treatment of high volumes of wastewater for industries.
Environmental Impact
The MEE system greatly contributes to the reduction of the industrial ecological footprint. Through the concentration of wastewater, the volume of effluent that has to be discharged is drastically reduced, thereby reducing the impact on local water bodies and related ecosystems. Also, recovery and reutilization of condensate further increase the sustainability quotient of the operation.
Savings in Operational Costs
This directly translates to a reduction in energy consumption, which manifests in reduced operational costs. Industries may benefit from considerable reductions in their utility bills, hence making the MEE system economically viable in the long run. This, plus the internal reutilization of condensate in the process for re-use, further supports cost efficiency by reducing demand for fresh water.
Why Multi Effect Evaporator was the Best Choice
The choice of Multi Effect Evaporator for this specialty chemical company in Taloja was on the basis of various parameters. As the process wastewater was complex, voluminous in proportion generated, there was a huge need for some robust and efficient solution. The MEE system can treat high TDS effluent and deliver condensate of high quality to be reused, which easily fit the client’s requirement.
Coupled with the tightening environmental legislation related to the specialty chemicals industry, better performance of the MEE system in terms of reducing wastewater volume and increasing the reusability of the treated water helped to meet the legislations, avoiding further penalties and adding to the reputation of being an environmentally responsible organization for the company.
