EPCON productsEPCON supplies process plantsfor separating different types offluids or fluids from solidmaterial, based on the principlesof evaporation, distillation anddrying. EPCON has developedunique energy efficient technicalsolutions for a number ofseparation and purificationprocesses.
Energy savingEPCONs core competence isenergy utilization inevaporation, distillation anddrying processes for a numberof applications and industries.Energy savings of 80-98% arenormally achieved, within a veryfavorable investment pay-backtime.
Applications in dairy industryTypical applications within dairyindustry include:
Evaporation of sweet wheycream cheese.
Evaporation of sweet wheycream.
Evaporation of whey for usein whey protein powders.
Evaporation of waste wheyfor animal feed.
Rebuilding of milk multipleeffect/TVR evaporators toMVR for 60-90% energysavings.
Flash cooling of dairyproducts for instant coolingto avoid granulation.
Dewatering of waste waterfrom dairy industry.
EPCON has experience with allthe above mentionedapplications.
EPCON products for dairy applications:
The EPCOVAP-MVR evaporators are a series ofstandardized compact evaporators with low energyconsumption. These are for lower capacity evaporationin the range of 500-2500 kg/h evaporation.
Falling film evaporators with MVR to be tailor madefor each specific application. EPCONs falling filmevaporators are made for being resistant to fouling.They have a compact design, and hence requires aminimum of space.
EPCONs forced circulation evaporators with MVR areoften used as the last stage in a combined evaporationsystem or as a stand alone evaporation system for highviscosity applications or where superior resistance tofouling is required.
Flash coolers for instant cooling and concentration ofhigh viscosity products.
MVR heat pumps for rebuilding multiple effect milkevaporators to MVR. This rebuilding can provide energysavings in the range of 60-80%.
Combined evaporation plants. The technologies aboveare often combined to obtain the best technicalsolution.
Refer the EPCON separate datasheets
for further information of the
listed process plants.
Whey cream cheese
All commercially produced sweetwhey cream cheese in Norway isevaporated on EPCONevaporators.
EPCON has delivered more than 10MVR evaporators to thisapplication during the period of1986 - 2004.
Case study
Rebuilding of multiple effect milkevaporator to MVR for energysavings.
A multiple effect milk evaporatorwas rebuilt to MVR.
BEFORE REBUILDING TO MVR
Evaporation capacity: 6200kg/h Steam consumption: 1025kW Electric power consumption: 25kW
AFTER REBUILDING TO MVR
Evaporation capacity: 6200kg/h Steam consumption: 155kW Electric power consumption: 165kW
ENERGY SAVINGS
Energy savings: 730 kW ( 70%) Annual savings: EUR 300.000,-With an energy cost of 0.0625 EUR/kWh
Evaporator for sweet whey cream cheese.
An MVR evaporator was delivered for concentration of sweet whey creamcheese in Norway. The evaporator was designed as a two stage MVRfalling film evaporator. Pre concentrated whey from an RO filter was usedas part of the feed material.
Case studyCase study
Flash cooler for instant cooling.
An EPCON flash cooler was installedfor instant cooling of sweet wheycream without having problemswith agglomeration.
