This is used to represent a continuous multi-effect evaporation operation that takes place in a multi-effect evaporator.
● Steam: the designated input port for the steam input stream (optional).
● Feed: the designated input port for the initial dilute solution that is fed to the evaporator.
● Vapor: the designated output port for evaporated solvent.
● Condensed Vapor: the designated output port for the fraction of vapor that is condensed in case of vapor re-compression or multi-effect evaporation.
● Liquor: the designated output port for the concentrated solution.
The following operation types are currently supported in the context of this unit procedure:
● Evaporate, see Continuous Multi-Effect Evaporation
● CIP, see Clean-In-Place (CIP)
● Hold, see Holding
● SIP, see Steam-In-Place (SIP)
Note that operations CIP, Hold, and SIP are only available in semi-continuous operating mode.
