Multi-Effect Evaporation Procedure

Overview

A Multi-Effect Evaporation Procedure can be created by selecting the following menu option: Unit Procedures } Phase Change} Multi-Effect Evaporation.

	Operating Mode	Continuous or Semi-Continuous
	Host Equipment	Multi-Effect Evaporator
	Emissions Port (Vent)	No
	Special Input/Output Ports	Yes

This is used to represent a continuous multi-effect evaporation operation that takes place in a multi-effect evaporator.

Special Inputs / Outputs

●      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 recompression or multi-effect evaporation.

●      Liquor: the designated output port for the concentrated solution.

Operations

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.
