Drum Evaporator/Dryer Installation
The ENCON Drum Evaporator/Dryer is operated in batch mode. Installation of the ENCON Drum Evaporator/Dryer is very straight forward and can be handled by facilities, maintenance, plant engineering, an electrical/mechanical contractor or it can be arranged by ENCON. No matter who installs the system, ENCON provides complimentary remote start up assistance to guarantee a successful startup. In addition, ENCON Service Engineers can perform on-site start up of the system and provide operator training. Utility and facility requirements include: either 208/240/480Volt/3PH or 220Volt/1PH power supply, compressed air supply for pneumatic piston lift, 5 inch diameter stack to outside of building for vapor exhaust, and an approximate footprint of 5 x 5 feet.
Stacks of varying materials are easily connected to the exhaust stack with the provided quick connect/disconnect adapter and ring clamp. The stack is typically installed vertically through the ceiling but can also be run at a 45 degree angle to a nearby wall then vertically up the side of a building. Recommended stack material include galvanized and stainless.
Referenced power supply is run to the control panel. All system components such as control panels, thermocouple, temperature controller, cycle timer, mixer, and blower are pre-wired and tested at the factory. Since the system operates in batch mode, sludge and slurries can be fed from a pump to Dryer system through a 1 inch NPT standpipe inlet or by opening Dryer lid and manually feeding sludge and slurry into the drum.
