Aqua-Chem vapor compression distillers are flexible, energy-efficient systems that produce high-quality purified water with minimal pretreatment and easy maintenance.
Vapor Compression Distillation
- Aqua-Chem’s horizontal Spray Film design Vapor Compression Distillation systems can utilize electric heat, steam heat or function as a hybrid as a power source. This flexibility provides beverage manufacturers with a lot of opportunities for efficiently creating purified ingredient water. Our horizontal spray film design is designed to recycle latent heat energy, which makes our distillers more energy efficient. Our vapor compression distillers require minimal pretreatment (in comparison with Reverse Osmosis and other technologies) and delivers effective pyrogen removal, bacteria removal, and organics removal.
- Aqua-Chem manufactures a variety of standard models of Vapor Compression Distillers and is capable of designing a system that will meet your requirements. The innovative design delivers reduced energy consumption and has less stringent feedwater requirements when compared to other distillation processes like multiple-effect systems, making Aqua-Chem Vapor Compression Distillers a popular and sustainable choice for water purification. All components are accessible from floor-level, with the compressor and pump convenient located at the edge of the skid for easy serviceability. Aqua-Chem utilizes low-speed compressor technology, which results in cooler bearing temperatures and less downtime.
