Strategic Overview

The Evolution of Industrial Concentration & Water Evaporation

Modern heavy industries operate under intense environmental and regulatory pressures. The mandate for Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD), coupled with skyrocketing municipal sewage discharge tariffs and energy costs, has transformed thermal concentration from a standard chemical process into a core pillar of corporate sustainability and resource recovery.

As an industry-leading water evaporator manufacturer, we recognize that selecting an industrial water evaporator is no longer just a purchasing decision—it is a critical integration of thermodynamics, material science, and regulatory compliance. Throughout the global chemical processing, starch refining, alcohol production, and pharmaceutical manufacturing sectors, our custom-engineered systems help processors comply with strict regional mandates while driving down energy footprint.

Our CE certified industrial evaporation plants, constructed from highly corrosion-resistant alloys, allow operators in the European Union and other strictly regulated markets to safely process high-salt, high-COD waste streams.

Thermodynamic Pathways in Evaporation

Evaluating Falling Film, Forced Circulation, and Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) technologies.

Falling Film Systems

A falling film evaporator distributes the feed liquid as a thin film flowing down the inside of vertical tubes. Evaporation occurs under vacuum, reducing the boiling point and ensuring a short residence time. This layout preserves the nutritional, chemical, or biological profiles of heat-sensitive liquids like corn steep liquor (CSL) and dairy concentrates.

  • High heat-transfer coefficients (U-values)
  • Low delta-T requirements
  • Strict wetting rate controls prevent dry-tube scaling

🔄 Forced Circulation Systems

Designed to handle high viscosity and heavy scaling tendencies. High-velocity axial flow pumps recirculate the liquor through the heat exchanger tubes, suppressing boiling inside the tubes by maintaining hydrostatic head. Boiling occurs only when the fluid enters the flash vessel separator.

  • Excellent for crystallization processes
  • High fluid velocity prevents crystal deposition
  • Heavy-duty, long-term continuous operation

⚙️ MVR Evaporation Plants

Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) utilizes a centrifugal compressor or fan blower to compress the low-pressure vapor rising from the evaporation chamber. This compression elevates the vapor's temperature and enthalpy, allowing it to act as the heating medium for the same effect.

  • Slashes operational steam consumption
  • Dramatically reduces cooling water demands
  • Exceptionally low carbon footprint

    Zongheng provides energy-efficient, high-performance evaporation solutions configured to match the unique chemical properties of your process media.

  • Falling Film Evaporation Plant:

    A falling film evaporator efficiently concentrates heat-sensitive liquids. The feed liquid forms a thin film flowing down heated vertical tubes, where it partially evaporates. Vapor generated flows parallel to the liquid, enhancing the process. It ensures a short residence time and low operating temperature, preserving product quality. The system requires proper liquid distribution and complete surface wetting to prevent fouling and maintain high thermal efficiency and operational stability.

  • Forced Circulation Evaporation Plant:

    Zongheng is a premier Chinese manufacturer specializing in forced circulation evaporators. We employ high-capacity recirculation pumps to combat extreme fouling, crystallization, and viscosity scaling.

  • Jiangsu Zongheng MVR Evaporation Plant:

    Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) plants offer significant operational savings by reusing latent heat from evaporated vapor, reducing steam boiler demands.

Heritage & Growth

Over 30 Years of Engineering Evolution

From a local machinery factory to a global high-tech concentration and drying equipment manufacturer.

Founded in 1992, Jiangsu Zongheng Concentrating and Drying Equipment Co., Ltd. (formerly Yixing Yangxi Light Industry Machinery Factory) has established itself as an engineering hub for thermal concentration and mechanical drying systems.

As an active member of the China Starch and Alcohol Association, we manufacture pressure vessels (Category III medium and low-pressure vessels) and system installations. Our core competencies encompass evaporators, single screw presses, airflow dryers, tube bundle dryers, degerming mills, and starch cyclones, which serve international markets in food fermentation, bio-ethanol, fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and environmental engineering.

Operational Scenarios

Global Applications of Concentration & Dewatering

How our integrated evaporators, presses, and dryers optimize downstream yields across industries.

1. Starch & Corn Wet Milling

In corn wet milling, corn steep liquor (CSL) contains high concentrations of proteins and amino acids. Evaporating water from CSL creates a valuable nutrient concentrate used in animal feed or fermentation media.

By utilizing our Single Screw Press to dewater corn fiber and germ, and concentrating the steep liquor in our Falling Film Evaporation Plant, plants reduce the load on their rotary dryers. This decreases energy consumption and increases protein recovery rates.

2. Alcohol & Fuel Ethanol Distilleries

Alcoholic wastewater and thin stillage concentration is critical for DDGS (Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles) production. Concentrating thin stillage to syrup (usually 30-40% solids) via waste heat evaporators saves significant energy before it is mixed with wet grains and dried.

Jiangsu Zongheng integrates multi-effect configurations that utilize stripper exhaust vapors or steam dryer condensate flash steam as thermal input, lowering the energy required per ton of evaporated water.

Engineering Quality

Metallurgical Quality Assurance & Future Roadmap

Protecting operations from corrosion, chloride-induced stress cracking, and dynamic mechanical fatigue.

Corrosion-Resistant Metallurgy

Industrial wastewater often contains organic acids and chloride ions. We fabricate heat transfer tubes using Grade 304, 316L, Duplex Stainless Steel (2205), and Titanium (TA2) to prevent localized pitting and extend equipment life under high temperatures.

Welding & Structural Integrity

Our ASME IX-certified welders perform automatic TIG/orbital welding on tubesheets. Weld seams undergo Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), including radiographic, ultrasonic, and dye penetrant inspection, to comply with PED 2014/68/EU guidelines.

AI-Driven Intelligent Automation

Modern systems feature Siemens PCS7 / DeltaV DCS platforms. Algorithms track real-time boiling points, adjust feed rates to maintain film thickness, regulate compressor speeds, and trigger automatic Clean-In-Place (CIP) cycles when heat transfer rates drop.

Technical FAQ

Expert Reference & Q&A

Answering the most critical engineering, compliance, and process optimization questions.

? Q1: What are the main requirements for a water evaporator to receive CE certification?
To obtain CE certification under the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU), the equipment must undergo hazard category analysis based on volume, operating pressure, and media characteristics. Design calculations are verified using European standards (like EN 13445), materials must have 3.1 chemical certification, and fabrication requires third-party inspection, hydrostatic pressure testing, and CE marking.
? Q2: How does an MVR system compare to Multi-Effect evaporators in terms of energy consumption?
Multi-effect evaporators consume fresh thermal steam to drive each stage (for example, a 3-effect system uses roughly 0.35 tons of steam per ton of evaporated water). An MVR evaporator compresses the secondary vapor, requiring only electricity to run the compressor (about 15 to 25 kWh per ton of water evaporated). This significantly reduces operational energy costs in areas with high steam costs.
? Q3: How do you prevent tube scaling in falling film evaporators handling high-solids corn steep liquor?
Fouling is minimized by maintaining a precise wetting rate. This rate ensures that the inner tube surfaces remain fully wet, preventing local drying and crystallization. We design custom feed distributors at the top of the tube bundle to ensure even flow, and incorporate automated multi-compartment CIP systems to clean individual loops without shutting down the entire plant.
? Q4: Why is a single screw press installed upstream of the tube bundle/airflow dryers?
Drying water via thermal energy is far more expensive than mechanical separation. Installing a single screw press to mechanically squeeze corn fiber or grain germ dewaters the solids down to 50-60% moisture. This reduces the thermal load on the subsequent tube bundle or airflow dryer, saving energy and increasing throughput.
