Diverse products such as salts, fertilizer, sulfates, carbohydrates, milk, juice, proteins, and food additives are examples of the thousands of materials that are commonly processed in evaporators. Additionally, evaporators are commonly used to concentrate wastewater and even capture valuable byproducts.

This webinar will review the reasons why evaporation is such a popular technique and provide background for the fundamentals of the process. We will present an overview of evaporation in general and discuss several heating concepts which can reduce a plant’s energy consumption and reduce its carbon footprint. We will also cover troubleshooting of common problems related to energy consumption in evaporators.

Here’s what we’ll review:

• A brief history of evaporation
