About EPCON
With its history going back to 1986, EPCON Evaporation Technology AS is atechnology company with high theoretical and practical competence. Our staff hasbackgrounds in thermal and heat pump process engineering, construction andmechanical engineering, chemistry and material technology. This gives EPCON amultidisciplinary line-up, with long term experience and references from severalindustries.
Located in the city of Trondheim, Norway
EPCON is located in the city of Trondheim in the middle part of Norway. Trondheim isinternationally well known as a centre for technology, mainly due to the location ofthe renowned Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU, in the city.SINTEF, the largest independent research organization in Scandinavia, is also locatedin Trondheim.
Our customers and markets
EPCONs customers are national and international industrial companies. Our processtechnology is used in the food industry, biomarine industry, process industry and
biofuel industry.
Our main geographical market is the Nordic countries, but we also have deliveries tothe rest of Europe, Asia and Americas.
Products
EPCON supplies evaporation plants for separating different types of fluids or fluidsfrom solid material, based on the principles of evaporation and distillation. EPCON hasdeveloped unique energy efficient technical solutions for a number of separation andpurification processes.
“Why choose EPCON as your partner?”
Support you can trust
Additionally to our close supportduring planning and execution phase,EPCON offers all customers a 24-hourafter sales service that includestrouble-shooting, spare parts,preventive and correctivemaintenance, as well as inspection ofthe installation on a regular basis.
Experience
EPCON delivered it’s first MVRevaporator in the mid 1980s. Sincethen our evaporation technology hasdeveloped a lot.
Performance
EPCON always focuses on the lowestpossible energy consumption in ourevaporators. Our pilot testingfacilities ensures our clients that wepropose the correct solution for theirapplication.Our evaporators are designed to giveour clients the maximum productionavailability.

Typical EPCOVAP-MVR applications
Biomarine industry.
• Protein hydrolysate• Algae extract• Seaweed extracts• Filtrated stickwater• Wastewater from fish net cleaning• And many more.
Food industry.
• Juice from fruit and berry• Syrups• Sugar solutions• Steep liquids• Fruit juice• Protein extracts• Recovery of rinsing water• Recovery of detergent waters• And many more
Process industry.
• Bark extracts• Lignin solutions• Liquids in chemical industry.• Mineral industry.• Concentration of RO retentate• Recovery of detergent waters• Leachates from mining industry• Wastewater streams• And many more
Biofuel industry.
• Biogas reject water from digestate• Leachates• Stillage• And many more
EPCOVAP-MVR applications
Treating wastewaters from different industries are often abig challenge. With an EPCON MVR evaporator the volumeflow can often be reduced by 90-99%. Typical wastewaterstreams suitable for MVR evaporation includes leachates,wastewater from metal fabrication, wastewater fromcleaning of fish nets, wastewater from production of foodand ingredients and many more.
“Did you know that the EPCOVAP®-MVRcan reduce your
wastewater flow by 90-99%”
EPCON has a long time experience and know-how in energy efficient MVR evaporation ofwastewaters and rinse waters from manyindustries. The treated water can bedischarged or re-used as process water.
“The main flow from an EPCOVAP- MVR evaporator is pure
water”
“To prove that the EPCOVAP is the correct choise for your
application, we have an EPCOVAP-MVR-2 pilot unit
available for testing in EPCON facilities or at client
site.”
Lab and pilot testing facilities
In our lab facillities we also have a labevaporator that we used for the testingwhether liquids are suitable for evaporation inEPCOVAP unit.

The table above shows maximum evaporation capacity for each model according to evaporation temperature. The energy consumption is normally 15-50 kWh/m3
evaporated water.
“Each EPCOVAP®-MVR unit is engineered to the customers
application”
The EPCOVAP-MVR is also available withinsulated panels for noise protection.
Based on 6 sizes each unit is engineered tofit the customers application. The maincomponents such as MVR blower, pump andheat exchanger are sized in order to makeeach application work in an optimal way.

EPCOVAP-MVR performance
This is a reduction of up to 99% compared toa 1 effect steam driven evaporator. MVR orMechanical Vapor Re-compression (also knownas MVC) is a technology where the vapor iscompressed in a fan or a compressor toa higher temperature and pressure.This compressed vapor is then used as energysource instead of boiler steam. Most of theproducts delivered by EPCON are based onMVR technology.
EPCON has 30 years experience withMVR technology.
The EPCOVAP-MVR uses compact centrifugal MVR fans for the larger models androots blowers for the smaller models. The use of MVR gives a superior energyconsumption compared to steam driven, TVR and heat pump evaporators.
“The EPCOVAP- MVR evaporator uses 15-50 kWh per ton evaporated water.”
Quality and testing
Before delivery to client, each EPCOVAP-MVR unit undergoes a full quality inspectionand performance test in the workshop by an EPCON engineer. This includes testingtightness, IO, and all sequences such as start-up, production and cleaning. Anevaporation test with water is also performed where parameters as vibrations andnoise is checked.
”Prior to delivery each EPCOVAP-MVR evaporator undergoes a full performance test
in workshop including a water evaporation test.”
”The EPCOVAP-MVRevaporator is built to last for decades.
Our After Sales services is your guarantee and is an important part of our concept.”
EPCON offers all customers the possibility for a 24-hours after sales service that includestrouble-shooting, spare parts, preventive and corrective maintenance, as well asinspection of installations.
Our experienced crew of engineers and technicians will be available for both plannedmaintenance and trouble shooting.
