Multi-effect evaporators have been developed from primitive evaporation kettles to single-effect,double-effect, triple-effect, four-effect or more effect evaporators,all of which are aimed at gradually reducing energy consumption. The multi-effect evaporator is composed of a plurality of evaporators connected in series. The secondary steam produced by evaporation in the previous effect is used to provide heat source for the next effect,so as to achieve the purpose of energy saving.Multi-effect can recover part of secondary steamand the more effectsthe more secondary steam will be recovered, This is different from the fact that MVR evaporator can recover al the secondary steam. Generally speaking,three-effect evaporation consumes 0.37~0.46 tons of steam per ton of water.four-effect evaporation consumes 0.3~0.35 tons of steam per ton of water,and five-effect evaporation consumes 0.24~0.3 tons of steam per ton of water. The multi-effect evaporation system of our company often considers recovering the heat of condensed water or secondarv steam to achieve the purpose of energy savingIn wastewater treatment,automatic on-line cleaning of preheater fouling shouldalso be considered. Multi-effect evaporators can adopt forced circulation.naturalcirculation.fallina film. rising film.plate evaporator and other forms, and can also adopt various combinations to optimize the process.
