How Our Systems Work

A rigorously engineered, five-stage evaporation process that maximises energy recovery at every step.

Feed Pre-heating
Incoming liquid heated to near-boiling point using vapour condensate — recovering latent heat
Evaporation
Thin film forms across heating tubes; rapid vaporisation under controlled vacuum conditions
Vapour Separation
Cyclonic separators remove entrained liquid droplets from the vapour stream
Condensation
Secondary vapour condensed in shell-and-tube condensers; warm condensate recycled for pre-heating
Concentrate Output
Concentrated product discharged at target Brix or TDS; optionally fed to crystalliser or spray dryer

Common Questions

How is an evaporator different from a dryer?

An evaporator concentrates a liquid by removing water while keeping it pumpable; a dryer (like an ATFD) takes that concentrate further, to a dry solid. Most ZLD trains use both in sequence.

How long does a KWS evaporator project take from order to commissioning?

Typically 8–28 weeks depending on system type and capacity — falling film units are fastest (8–14 weeks), full ZLD systems take longest (16–28 weeks) due to the additional process stages.

Do you only supply the equipment, or the full project?

KWS handles the full lifecycle in-house — process design, fabrication, installation, commissioning, operator training, and ongoing AMC support. Civil and piping work is included where required.

What industries do you serve?

Dairy & food processing, pharmaceutical & API, chemical & petrochemical, effluent treatment/ZLD, sugar & distillery, and textile & dyeing — see our Industries page for sector-specific detail.

Can you retrofit or upgrade an existing evaporator that isn't ours?

Yes — our Revamping & Modification service covers capacity enhancement, MVR retrofits, and control upgrades on existing plants regardless of original manufacturer.
