Key Challenges in ZLD. . .
How to Address the Challenges
High Recovery through RO
- Use of Proper & robust Pre-treatment- Right Selection of Membranes and RO Configuration- Use of Proper & robust Pre-treatment- Right Selection of Membranes and RO Configuration
Material Compatibility at Higher Temperature
- Operate Evaporation System at low temperature- Operate Evaporation System at low temperature
- Use various combination of Evaporators- Use various combination of Evaporators
High Capital Investment
Operating Cost for the treatment
- Use innovative approach like TVR or MVR- Use innovative approach like TVR or MVR
Solutions…..
Conventional Falling Film Evaporator
Forced Circulation Evaporator
Forced Falling Film Evaporator
Fluidized Bed Patented Evaporator
Falling Film - Features
Better Heat Transfer Coefficient.
Low Power consumption .
Can be started up quickly and changed tocleaning mode .
Useful in heat sensitive chemical solutions
Falling Film - Limitations
Not suitable at higher suspended solid concentration and higher viscosity.
Distribution system is critical and can lead to tube fouling in absence of adequate wetting rate.
Frequent C.I.P. Required .
Force Circulation - Features
Capable of handling Suspended slurry, Saturated solution & viscous liquids.
Can be operated with min temperature differences between the heating media and the boiling liquid.
No frequent Scale inside the tubes.
Can be installed vertically as well as horizontally.
