Multi Effect Still
Quality features
- Condensation phase and last column are pressurised during operating conditions: The degasifying effect in front of the still allows operation of the condenser and the last effect at temperatures of > 110 - 121°C providing filling of the storage vessels to higher level.
- Draining condenser: Fully automatic draining of condenser during shutdown (FDA requirement).
- Droplet separation by centricyclone separator and by gravity: 4-5 Log pyrogen reduction verified by FAT Challengetest.
- Sanitary system design: Includes draining of degasifire, column and pump.
- Pre-pressure rising station and degasifying column: Effective elimination of non condensable gas to guarantee the conductivity according to USP standards.
- Level control of effect: Flooding of effects (malfunction) will be detected according to USP supplement.
Construction features
- Pure steam generator: The first column can also be used as a pure steam generator, which is able to produce pure steam 24 hours a day, independent from WFI production. Independent from the WFI production rate the first column can be oversized if additional capacity of pure steam is needed.
- Extension of capacity: For higher production rates additional effects can be installed. Energy and cooling water costs are reduced.
- Thermosyphon-principle: The construction of the thermosyphon generator with its effective natural circulation has thermodynamic advantages.
- Headspace: Compared to standard thin film evaporator heatexchangers, the Letzner style head-space has been reduced.
- Double tubesheet heatexchangers: The tubes are welded in the head-plates, thereby lowering the risk of corrosion.
- Sanitary design: Includes double tube-sheet heatexchangers, diaphragm valves, sensor with sanitary connections and orbital welds. All surfaces in contact with product are 316L, stainless steel and have sanitary connections and seals.
- Custom designed: The dimensions can be adapted to the installation room.
- Energy utilization: Preheating of feed-water by blow down heatexchanger, condensator and heat exchanger between the effects.
