Infrared Evaporator

Function

The wastewater is fed into the container. A slowly rotating drum immerses into the wastewater. The water adheres to the drum and is transported to the top of the drum where an infrared emitter is pointed at. The infrared radiation causes the water molecules of the wastewater to vaporise. The resulting water vapour is discharged together with exhaust gases of the radiation burner into the open air. The solid particles of the wastewater, which adhere to the drum, are removed by a metal scraper.

Advantages

Infrared evaporators manufactured by Leiblein GmbH offer the following advantages:

• separation of solvents and dissolved components in a closed system and a single process step.
• combination of the process engineering operations of vaporisation, evaporation, crystallisation and coagulation in a single apparatus.
• no dirt and incrustation problems
• hot exhaust vapour, which consists of water vapour and flue gas is discharged into the atmosphere via a stack.

Fields of Application

• treatment of concentrates and semi-concentrates
• liquids of filtration systems, ion-exchanger, reverse osmosis and electrodialysis
• Vaporisation of foaming media and wash and vibratory finishing water
• concentration of acids and alkalis
• disposal of spent cooling lubricants
