Latest Patents
Manfred Mai holds a patent for a "Process and apparatus for concentrating a solution." This invention utilizes multiple-effect evaporation in indirectly heated evaporators. The process achieves the highest concentration of the solution in a final evaporator stage, which is heated with live steam. The final evaporator stage includes two to four falling-film evaporators, all of which are heated with live steam. The solutions are consecutively flown through these evaporators. Vapor is withdrawn from the first falling-film evaporator supplied with the solution, and at least part of this vapor is directly contacted with the solution as it flows down through the heating zone of at least one other evaporator in the final stage. This innovative method allows for efficient vapor management and solution concentration.
