PRODUCT DESCRIPTION & TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS
How agitated thin film dryer (atfd) fits your process.
Operating principle
Thin-film drying for suitable concentrates with product-specific thermal and fouling evaluation.
Thermal concentration removes water by evaporation and increases nonvolatile solids concentration. MEE, MVR, crystallization and ATFD use different heat-transfer and solids-handling arrangements.
Engineering checks
- Feed mass flow and full salt chemistry
- Boiling-point elevation, fouling and corrosion
- Heat and mass balance with utility basis
- Condensate quality and final solids route
Configuration & equipment
- Feed distribution assembly
- Heated cylindrical shell
- Rotor and wiping / agitation elements
- Drive and bearing arrangement
- Vapour outlet and collection
- Dried-solids discharge
Configuration options are reviewed against the project duty. Supply quantities and final scope are defined in the approved proposal.
| Process / operating item | Engineering requirement |
|---|---|
| Process review 1 | Dryness, carryover, corrosion and fouling must be established for the actual feed. |
| Process review 2 | Vapor handling includes appropriate entrainment separation and condensation. |
| Operating and maintenance | Trend heat transfer and fouling indicators. Inspect seals, vacuum and vapour systems. Follow approved descaling and shutdown procedures. |
| Documentation | Project-specific datasheet, PFD, P&ID, equipment GA, electrical load list and O&M documentation as agreed. |
