Multiple Effect Evaporator For Spent Wash Concentration

MEE for Molasses based Distillery

Spent wash generated as effluent is concentrated in Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE) Intergrated as well as Stand-alone evaporator system followed by Dryer (Spray Dryer in case of Molasses and DDGS Dryer in case of Grain) to achieve complete Zero Liquid Discharge plant

Distillery spent wash has very high BOD, COD and high BOD/COD ratio. The number of inorganic substances such as chlorides, sulphates, phosphates, potassium and calcium are also very high.
We have stipulated stringent norms for proper disposal of spent wash as its uncontrolled discharge may affect the land surfaces and water bodies, particularly the physical, chemical and biological properties of soil and water.

MEE for Grain based Distillery

Projexel has Innovative Integrated technology to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge. Integrated evaporation (using alcohol vapours from distillery) offers low energy consumption
The total process condensate water is recyclable after proper treatment and can be recycled back for process, Cooling Tower etc.

The evaporation plants are specially designed to handle molasses raw spent wash, bio-methanated spent wash and grain thin slop to achieve desired solid concentration. Projexel offer evaporation Plants with different combinations of Falling Film and Forced Circulation Multi Effect Evaporation Plant.

The concentrate from the evaporator is further concentrated into the Spray dryer in case of Molasses based distillery or in to the Dryer in case of Grain Based distillery.
