A standard evaporator operates the same way as Beta’s HCl Acid Recovery System, only without the rectifier. Process fluid circulates through a heat exchanger and the resulting steam is condensed.

Mechanical Vapor Recompression

Mechanical Vapor Recompression, also known as MVR, uses a compressor to pressurize and superheat the saturated process steam and reuse the heat as service steam for continuous evaporation. (In typical MVR applications additional water is added after the compressor to reduce the superheated steam to saturated steam without reducing the pressure. This is done to simplify the Primary Exchanger.)

Mechanical Vapor Recompression operates as follows:

A process/waste stream is fed through a pre-heat exchanger and then into the primary exchanger for evaporation. The remaining saturated liquid circulates through the Primary Exchanger while the saturated vapor separates from the liquid and is forced through a compressor. The compressor pressurizes and superheats the vapor for use as service steam in the Primary Exchanger. The resulting condensate is used in the pre-heat exchanger.
