Multi Effect Evaporator (MEE) System

At SRP Engineering and Tech, we offer a state-of-the-art Multi Effect Evaporator (MEE) system, designed to meet the demanding needs of industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and more. Our MEE systems are engineered to deliver exceptional energy efficiency by maximizing heat recovery, making them an ideal solution for large-scale evaporation processes.

The Multi Effect Evaporator (MEE) system utilizes multiple stages (or "effects") to concentrate liquids by evaporating solvents or water. Each subsequent effect operates at progressively lower pressures, using the vapor from the previous effect as the heating source, allowing the system to achieve high evaporation rates with minimal energy consumption.

Our Multi Effect Evaporator (MEE) is an advanced system consist sequence or multi stages of Pre-Heater, Evaporator, Vapor Liquid Separator (VLS), and Condenser under different operating pressure. Multi Effect Evaporator (MEE) is widely used for many applications in industries to achieve evaporation and concentrate as output by using an efficient amount of heat source such as steam to evaporate low boilers such as water or solvents. Each stage of Multi Effect Evaporator (MEE) utilizes the vapor from the previous effect as a heating source, significantly reducing energy consumption and boosting overall efficiency.

  • Initially, the liquid feed enters the first effect. Here, an external heat source, typically steam, heats the liquid, causing it to evaporate.
  • The vapor produced in the first effect then serves as the heating medium for the next effect, this process continues across multiple stages.
  • As the liquid progresses through each effect, its concentration increases. Importantly, each stage operates at a progressively lower pressure and temperature, optimizing energy use and enhancing efficiency.
  • Finally, the vapor from the last effect transferred to condenser for condensation and the concentrated liquid is collected.

  • Energy Efficient: By utilizing the latent heat from the vapor in successive effects, MEE systems can operate with very low specific energy consumption compared to single-effect evaporators. This makes them an ideal solution for industries aiming to reduce energy costs while maintaining high throughput.
  • Gentle Treatment of Heat-Sensitive Products: The short residence time and controlled heat input minimize the risk of degradation, making this system ideal for heat-sensitive liquids.
  • High Throughput: The MEE system can handle large volumes of feed material, making it a preferred choice for industries requiring high-capacity evaporation. The multi-stage process allows for efficient and effective concentration of liquids.
  • Versatility: Multi Effect Evaporators are versatile and can be adapted to a wide range of applications including the treatment of wastewater, concentration of fruit juices, dairy products, pharmaceuticals, and more. And also, a wide range of operating pressure.
  • Reduced Operational Costs: Although the initial investment in a Multi Effect Evaporator can be higher than single-effect systems, the long-term operational savings from reduced energy consumption and lower maintenance costs make it a cost-effective solution for large-scale operations.
  • Modular Design: Our MEE systems come with modular designs, making them scalable and customizable to meet specific requirements in terms of capacity, material properties, and energy usage.
  • Skid Mounted: For smaller capacities, we offer skid-mounted MEE systems that are easy to install and operate.
  • High Quality: Our Multi Effect Evaporator System (MEE) is designed to deliver superior performance with maximum efficiency, best manufacturing quality, durability, and reliability.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Concentrating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and extracts while maintaining the stability and quality of sensitive compounds.
  • Chemical Processing: Evaporating solvents, acids, and other chemicals with minimal thermal degradation and ensuring high recovery rates.
  • Food and Beverage: Concentrating juices, milk, syrups, and other liquids while preserving flavor, nutrients, and texture.
  • Biotechnology: Concentrating biological materials, extracts, and fermentation broths for further processing or purification.
  • Water Treatment: Used in processes like desalination and water recycling, where efficient evaporation is essential for high-quality water production.
  • Recovery of Solvent and Products: Recovered concentrated liquid can be used as feed for ATFD (Agitated Thin Film Dryer) to achieve higher concentration, or the dry powder can be reused or disposed of.
  • Zero Liquid Discharge System: Remove TSS, TDS, BOD, COD, and TKN from pharmaceutical & chemical effluents.
