Vacuum Distillation Systems

Wastech's Vacuum Distillation Evaporators  are designed for industrial wastewater reduction and many other proven applications for low temperature vacuum distillation. The distilled water can be reused in the process resulting in operational savings.

The Vaccuum Distillation Evaporator system is a compact, skid-mounted system capable of processing up to 13,000 gallons of wastewater per day.  Thanks to the utilization of low-temperature distillation and a standard heat pump design, the Vacuum Distillation System is highly-energy efficient, operates at a substantially lower cost than evaporators or distillers and requires no fuel, which eliminates combustion byproducts.  The system can be located inside or outside.

If you have plating tanks, rinse water applications, cleaning processes or any contaminated water sources, Wastech's Vacuum Distillation solution will reduce your costs and improve your process. It will eliminate or dramatically lower "hauling" charges by waste disposal companies. It also allows zero discharge applications which demand that water waste be reduced in volume or recycled.

Standard features include:

• Automated System
• Central PLC
  
• Full-color HMI
• Completely self-contained heat and cooling
• Electrically powered, no other utilities required
• Continuous process cycle with various output volumes
• Programmable concentration level
• Complete NEMA 4X control panel
• Automatic chemical dispensing
• Manual Pump Controls
• Operational Alarms

Which type of system is right for your process?

F Series Shell and Tube Forced Circulation Evaporators (PC F)
are compact, skid mounted, plug-and-play systems designed to produce the highest quality distillate possible at the lowest operating cost possible.  Due to its small size, the PC F can be located in areas where space constraints make larger, bulkier systems prohibitive.  As with all of Wastech's wastewater treatment systems, the continuous PC F ships with a PLC-based control panel that handles all aspects of operation, from feed to discharge, requiring virtually no supervision. The F Series evaporator captures thermal energy generated by it's heat pump inside a boiling chamber where pressure is maintained at 5-6 kPa (absolute vacuum), allowing wastewater to boil at a significantly lower temperature of approximately 104°F.  This all but eliminates problematic occurrences like corrosion, precipitation and scaling

R Series Scraped Heating Jacket Evaporators (PC R)
are ideal for applications with lower wastewater volume and high levels of dissolved or suspended solids that can be concentrated, collected and recycled. The PC R features a heat pump, which operates under a controlled vacuum at 5 kPa at approximately 104°F.  Fully automated and controlled by a PLC-based control panel, a conical jacket surrounding the boiling chamber facilitates heat exchange while the concentrate inside is continuously stirred by an internal scraper.  The result is a DI-quality (low conductivity) distillate that can be re-circulated back into the process and a concentrate that, in many instances, can be recycled for profit.
