Forced Circulation Evaporator
A Forced Circulation Evaporator (FCE) concentrates highly viscous, high fouling, and crystalizing solutions using a tubular calandria and circulator/axial pump for efficient operation under vacuum or pressurized conditions.
Continuous circulation ensures uniform concentration and prevents the buildup of solids on the heating surface area, with MOC (materials of construction) - such as SS304, SS316, or Titanium - selected for fluid compatibility.
