Upgrading waste streams

Energy-efficient upgrading of residual streams


By using energy-saving techniques, only a small amount of energy is required. Under normal conditions, water evaporation requires 700 Wh/l, with Strocon's vacuum evaporator, a maximum of 250 Wh/l is required.

Low-temperature evaporation


In this technique, the liquid is placed under a vacuum. This lowers the boiling point and the liquid begins to vaporize at low temperatures as low as about 40 degrees. The Strocon evaporator is designed to vaporize to high concentrations.

Water pump


The vapor produced from the boilers is condensed into distillate in the condenser. During condensation of the produced vapor, energy is recovered. This energy is upgraded via a heat pump, allowing moisture to be evaporated with very low energy consumption.
