Mechanical Vapor Recompression

Superior blower and compressor technology

BLOWERS AND COMPRESSORS FOR MVR PROCESSES

The principle of mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) is used often in evaporators. It is an efficient solution to reintroduce the waste heat as a source of thermal energy for vaporization. In MVR applications our blowers and compressors provide energy recovery by compressing low temperature vapor to a higher pressure and temperature, so it can be re-used as a heating source. PILLER supports you to secure the optimum MVR vapor compressor solution for your process.

ADVANTAGES OF OUR BLOWERS AND COMPRESSORS FOR MECHANICAL VAPOR RECOMPRESSION

Efficiency, flexibility, and reliability for a long lifetime in the process industry

PILLER Blowers and Compressors are specifically developed and designed for Mechanical Vapor Recompression. Our VapoLine achieves an efficiency of up to 87 percent.  
They are more flexible, more reliable, require less maintenance, are less sensitive to sub-optimal process conditions, and are more robust than conventional (steam) compressors. 
  
PILLER MVR Blowers and Compressors are impressively powerful despite their compactness. They run with shaft powers of up to 6 Megawatts at impeller speeds of up to 440 m/s. Depending on the particular installation, steam can be compressed to a pressure of up to 20 bar (g).  
 
Using patented bearing technology, engineered high-performance impellers, and a continuous product improvement process, PILLER manufactures MVR blowers and compressors which provide customers maximum efficiency and durability, resulting in lower life cycle costs.

WHY IS MECHANICAL VAPOR RECOMPRESSION EFFICIENT FOR THE PROCESS INDUSTRY?

REDEFINING THE LEVEL OF REUSING WASTE HEAT IN THE PROCESS INDUSTRY

Large quantities of process steam are required in numerous industrial processes, particularly in the thermal separation of materials and products. Thermal separation processes such as evaporation or distillation are very energy-intensive and therefore also cost-intensive processes. 
With the integration of Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR), not only energy costs can be reduced, but CO2 emissions can also be lowered. Mechanical Vapor Recompression is not only interesting from an economic point of view, but also in terms of CO2 reduction and the associated reduction in environmental pollution. The applications for MVR technology are almost endless and support you in a wide range of processes and applications to achieve your goals.  
 

MVR blowers and compressors in thermal separation processes

Thermal separation is a widespread technology in many industries. An effective measure to save energy, and to reduce high steam consumption, is the implementation of Mechanical Vapor Compression. This technology is used in a wide variety of applications such as distillation, crystallization and concentration. The waste heat generated by these processes is reintroduced as a heat source back to the process, where the Mechanical Vapor Compression is responsible for the temperature and pressure lift necessary to enable the heat transfer. 
 
By offering the critical components of waste heat recovery processes, we are supporting industries to realize economic and environmental benefits. PILLER also offers system engineering services, including conceptual design as well as support in the Pre-FEED phase. Our Blowers and Compressors are precisely tailored to your vapor application.
