Skid-mounted unit with EvapCare™-F as column reboiler
Process
Introducing EvapCare™-F, the ultimate solution for gently processing temperature-sensitive products with unmatched precision. Powered by the Marangoni effect, our advanced technology leverages surface tension gradients to ensure perfect wettability on the tube surface, delivering even liquid distribution, preventing dry spots, and minimizing product degradation.
Designed with your product’s integrity in mind, EvapCare™-F utilizes vacuum and short residence times along the heated surface to prevent secondary reactions, preserving your product’s organoleptic properties. Ideal for low-viscosity products with minimal fouling tendencies, EvapCare™-F features a proprietary liquid distribution device that guarantees uniform liquid flow across all tubes. Gravity drives the product as a continuous film along the tube length, optimizing efficiency and maintaining quality.
Our system typically operates with co-current flow, where liquid and vapors move smoothly from top to bottom, separated by a gas-liquid separator at the end of the tube bundle. For counter-current applications, such as stripping or when used as a reboiler in distillation columns, the separator is not needed.
Experience the future of precision processing with EvapCare™-F—where innovation meets exceptional product care and efficiency.
Our distribution is a two-stage system, featuring high accuracy and a wide operating range. The optimum sizing is achieved with our proprietary design tool.
In the first stage, process liquid enters EvapCare™-F through the inlet feed pipe and is directed to the top liquid distributor. The distributor then delivers the liquid to the tube sheet. It is itself equipped with many drip points to ensure the generation of an even and calm static liquid height outside the tubes.
Sulzer has over 60 years of experience in sizing and manufacturing EvapCare™-F evaporators.
Thousands of evaporators installed worldwide.
To ensure reliable equipment design, and to verify that the desired process performance meets your product specifications, we test your individual process in our pilot plant facilities. If you prefer, we can provide you with mobile test equipment on a rental basis to apply in tests at your own facilities.
