INSTALLATION HAS BEGUN FOR NEW ENCON FORCED CIRCULATION EVAPORATOR AT BIO-PLASTICS PLANT!
ENCON Evaporators’ newest forced circulation evaporator is in process of being installed at the client site in eastern Canada. This is a brine processing evaporation application with an evaporation capacity of 1800 gallons per hour. The evaporator is part of a large greenfield industrial manufacturing facility construction which is due to start up in 1st quarter of 2023 producing carbon negative plastic.
The evaporator was designed and fabricated to be installed and operated outdoors in a hazardous classified area (Zone 1, Division 2). Extensive engineering and design was required to meet the hazardous area classification and outdoor installation in the harsh Canadian climate. In addition, the brine is extremely corrosive and required use of exotic alloys of construction (grade 7 titanium) for corrosion resistance.
Application details: The forced circulation evaporator will be concentrating calcium chloride brine from 30 to 53 wt% concentration. The dilute brine is created by a new chemical process that allows plastic water bottles to be made from waste wood and agricultural products instead of using oil to create the plastic polymer. The brine concentrator allows the dilute brine to be re-used in the manufacturing process, eliminating costly disposal, and providing savings on make-up chemical costs.
