Efficient. Reliable. Engineered for Tough Applications.
The SED Forced Circulation Evaporator (FCE) is a high-performance system designed to concentrate highly viscous, fouling-prone, and crystallizing solutions with maximum efficiency. With superior heat transfer, continuous circulation, and advanced automation, it ensures uniform concentration while minimizing scaling and downtime.
Engineered for durability and flexibility, this technology serves sectors such as chemicals, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and bio-based industries, delivering reliable performance even under vacuum or pressurized conditions.
How It Works
Fluid Circulation
The feed enters the system and is continuously circulated through tubes by the Merver-designed circulator, maintaining high heat transfer rates and uniform temperature distribution.
Heat Transfer & Evaporation
Steam condenses on the outside of the tubes, transferring heat to the liquid inside. High-velocity circulation ensures rapid and efficient evaporation even with viscous or fouling solutions.
Vapor-Liquid Separation
SED’s UN-MIST™ technology, featuring an embossed plate-type separator, efficiently separates vapor from liquid, delivering clean vapor with minimal entrainment.
Condensate Recovery
The vapor is condensed and recovered, optimizing steam usage and enhancing energy efficiency in multi-effect setups.
Key Advantages
Enhanced Heat Transfer Efficiency
Continuous high-velocity circulation improves heat transfer rates, enabling rapid evaporation.
Reduced Scaling and Fouling
Minimizes buildup on heating surfaces, lowering maintenance requirements and downtime.
Handles Challenging Fluids
Capable of processing high-viscosity, crystallizing, and pressurized liquids safely and effectively.
Operational Cost Savings
Efficient design and low fouling reduce energy consumption and long-term operating costs.
Automated, Remote-Controlled Operation
Advanced DCS integration allows for preventive maintenance, CIP (Cleaning-In-Place), and 24x7 remote monitoring.
