Process Solutions, Engineered Around Your Driver

Four engineered solution lines, each anchored to the driver that actually owns the project: discharge compliance, product specification, yield and recovery, or energy cost and carbon. Start from your driver — not from a technology brochure.

Industrial evaporation and crystallization solutions overview

Engineered Solution Lines

Each line packages process design, equipment scope, instrumentation and delivery into one engineered scope — with its own tools, references and verification logic.

SOLUTION 01Compliance-Driven

High-Salinity Wastewater Minimization & ZLD

Treat the waste stream as the project. Concentrate high-TDS effluents to the edge of crystallization, recover clean condensate for reuse, and deliver a solid or slurry residue that passes disposal — down to full ZLD where the regulation demands it.

  • Chemical, coal-chemical and landfill-leachate high-salinity effluents
  • Condensate reuse and reduced liquid discharge volume
  • Mixed salt handling: Na₂SO₄, NaCl, and complex salt systems
  • Staged routes: softening + concentration + crystallization + solids drying
15–25 kWh/ttypical MVR-based specific energy for wastewater concentration duty — depends on TDS, BPE and recovery ratio
SOLUTION 02Product-Spec-Driven

Process Concentration & Crystallization

The concentrate or the crystal is the product. Design concentration and crystallization around the specification that sells: purity, particle size distribution, morphology, and downstream handling — not just water removal.

  • Crystallizer selection by solubility behavior: FC, DTB, Oslo
  • PSD and purity targets engineered into the flowsheet, not inspected in afterwards
  • Battery-grade Li₂CO₃, LiOH·H₂O, Ni/Co sulfate routes
  • Food and fermentation concentration with product protection
5 routesfrom single-effect to MVR-fed crystallizer trains, matched to feed behavior and utility context
SOLUTION 03Yield-Driven

Mother Liquor Recovery

Recover the solute that is still dissolved in the mother liquor — product, by-product salt, or process water. Raise yield per ton of feed, cut purge volume, and turn a waste line back into revenue or reusable material.

  • Product recovery from crystallization mother liquors
  • By-product salt recovery and purification routes
  • Purge minimization and mother-liquor recycle loops
  • Bench crystallization screening on the actual mother liquor
3 scenariosproduct recovery, by-product salt, purge recycle — scoped by bench-test data on your actual liquor
SOLUTION 04OpEx & Carbon-Driven

Energy-Efficient Retrofit & Decarbonization

The evaporator works, but its energy bill does not. Retrofit existing trains through MVR integration, TVR upgrade, heat recovery or adding an effect — lower OpEx and Scope 1 emissions without full system replacement.

  • Condition audit of the existing train before any commitment
  • Reuse existing vessels, separators and exchangers where they pass audit
  • Steam-to-electricity shift with verified Scope 1 reduction
  • Phased implementation around plant turnarounds
4 routesMVR integration, TVR upgrade, heat integration, add-an-effect — selected by condition audit and utility economics
Cross-Reference

Solutions × Industries

Where each solution line typically applies. Filled dot = primary fit; hollow dot = frequent fit. Real projects often combine two lines.

Industry combinations not shown here are evaluated case by case — send the feed analysis and we will confirm feasibility.

How We Scope

From Sample to Signed-Off Delivery

The same scoping logic runs under all four lines: characterize the real feed, verify the behavior, design the flowsheet, then deliver and prove it.

01

Feed Characterization

Full analysis of the real feed: TDS, individual salts, organics, density, viscosity, and a boiling-point rise measurement at target concentration.

02

Bench & Pilot Validation

Evaporation rate, scaling rate, crystal habit and PSD verified on your actual liquor — not inferred from handbook data.

03

Process Design & 3D

Heat-and-mass balance, technology selection, P&ID and 3D layout; utility consumption and instrument list frozen with the offer.

04

FAT → Delivery → SAT

Factory acceptance test, supervised installation and commissioning, site acceptance against the guarantee curve — signed off with data.

Not Sure Which Line Fits?

Send the feed analysis, throughput target and the constraint that owns your project — discharge limit, product spec, yield, or energy cost. We will tell you which line applies, what to verify first, and what the indicative scope looks like.
