The teedwater is pre-heated in the exchanger E009, by steam
condensation coming trom the last column, and in the pre-heaters
F004-F001 by condensate produced in every effect.
The teedwater evaporates partially in the first column (E001) as
heated by industriai steam.
The industriai steam passes through the pre-heater F001 and is drained
by steam trap ST001.
The produced pure steam trom the top and the water not evaporateci
trom the bottom
1 -pass to the tollowing effect, where the process is repeated at
lower pressure and temperature.
The distillate produced by pure steam condensation goes to the
pre-heater F002. The process is repeated for all columns in the same
way.
The steam produced in the last effect is condensateci and cooled
together with the distillate coming from pre-heaters in the exchangers
E009 and E01O, by teed and cooling water.
1 - SINGLE EFFECT RUNNING DESCRlBTION
Conveyed by main pipe in the upper paq ot column, the teedwater goes
down through the exchanger tube side and evaporates as heated by
industriai steam coming from the shell side.
(The water I steam mixture is conveyed in the lower part ot column by
main tunnel, where
the steam is split trom the water. The water lies on bottom and goes
out trom gate B; the steam goes up at the outside ot tunnel and goes
out trom gate F.
The condensate passes in the pre-heater shell side and goes out trom
the gate G; the teedwater goes into the gate C and goes out trom gate
D.
DISTILLATE
The distillate goes out at 95°C as indicateci in the drawing no.
0969/3; for the correct running of the plant it is necessary that the
storage tank and the connecting piping are at a lower height.
The conductivity changes from 0.25 to 1 uS / cm., depending on
feedwater quality.
DISCHARGES:
- gas must be free without backpressure
- concentrate must be free without backpressure
- cooling water can be regenerated and used as hot water
- industrial steam condensate better if connected with condensate
recovery ring;
otherwise, it can be discharged I51253093 avoiding the connection
with gas and concentrate discharge from stili.
3. - CONNECTIONS
FEEDWATER
pressure quality
- consumption
must be at least 2 bar more than the one of feeding steam
demineralized and filtered, free of amines, organic matters and silica
(max conductivity 5 uS)
depending on feed steam pressure (see table)
COOLING WATER
pressure
- temperature
- quality
- consumption
2 bar about are necessary inlet 15°C - outlet 80°C softened
depending on feed steam pressure (see table)
FEED STEAM
The steam must be saturateci, dry, free of oil and other impurities
which may scale the exchanger surfaces.
The pressure may change from 3 to-8 bar; the plant is provided with a
safety valve calibrateci at 9 bar.
