Innovative evaporator for corrosive liquids and gasses

The first evaporator completely made from high quality recyclable synthetic material

With the development of an evaporator, built entirely from building blocks made of recyclable plastic, which can apply low-value residual heat as an energy source, CirTec brings the most sustainable evaporator to date to the market. By using high-quality recyclable plastic, the new design can be applied to thicken liquids in an exceptional wide pH-range from 1 to 14 at temperatures ranging from 30 to 100°C. The system, named CRESCENDO, consists of separate building blocks that can be modularly expanded for any desired capacity. Application of recyclable plastic combined with the, by CirTec recently launched, Active Vapor Recompression (AVaR), make the CRESCENDO or Synthetic GaLiCos™ evaporator the most sustainable evaporator available on the market.

This new evaporator will be launched officially at the IFAT on Wednesday May 16, 2018 at 1PM at Hall B2, booth 105/204.

The CRESCENDO or Synthetic GaLiCos™ evaporator is a further development of a technology that has already successful been in operation for several years. In the basis, GaLiCos is an innovative, low maintenance technology, which allows evaporating highly concentrated liquid waste streams (brines) to the saturation limit. The operation is based on the principle that moisture is absorbed by unsaturated air. Using this principle GaLiCos enables both capturing salt crystals (as a concentration) in a partial flow limiting waste streams and production of distilled water by just using low-grade residual heat. As a result, GaLiCos™makes it possible to save energy, limit waste streams and create a closed circuit through the production of re-usable salt and water.

The CRESCENDO development is subsided by the Dutch government via the Partners for Water 2016-2021 subsidy programme.

We invite you to the official launch of CRESCENDO at the IFAT in Munich at Wednesday May 16, 2018 at 1PM at Hall B2, booth 105/204.

The CRESCENDO™concept has great added value above competitive systems. The main advantages are:

1. Applicable for corrosive liquids and gasses in pH-range from 1 to 14 at temperatures from 30 to 100°C.
2. Lower investment costs; systems are modular constructed and are relatively simple. A recirculating pump with limited head loss and a low-pressure ventilator are the only moving parts of the process.
3. Reduced operating costs; The modules are not sensitive to scaling and are maintenance free. Further, the energy consumption is low and a plant can be operated without any significant attention.

GaLiCos is presented by CirTec at IFAT at Booth 105/204 Hall B2 at the Dutch Pavilion

About CirTec

For maintaining a good and healthy environment for future generations, it is crucial that we reduce the disposal of waste and encourage recycling of valuable components. CirTec aims to contribute actively to the sustainability of society and reuse of (waste) materials in particular.

With both proven and innovative technology, we are able to provide the most appropriate solution for a large number of environmental issues. We have a specific focus on the development of alternative raw materials such as recovered cellulose from municipal wastewater, the use of low value residual heat for evaporation of concentrated streams and we encourage recycling of waste and energy.

PRESS RELEASE

Energy saving and re-use of materials become more and more important and are crucial for maintaining a good and healthy environment for future generations. GaLiCos™ (short for Liquid Gas Contact System), developed to thicken concentrated (waste) streams and recover valuable resources, using low-grade residual energy, has been successfully in operation for several years. By combining GaLiCos™ with the newly developed AVaR (Active Vapor Recompression) technology, residual heat in the system can be re-used even better, reducing energy consumption with up to 80%. This innovation will be introduced at the during the AquaNederland exhibition on 13, 14 and 15 March 2018 in Gorinchem (NL).

GaLiCos™ is a highly ingenious (and patented) device that is designed to bring gasses and liquids in a very efficient and intensive manner in contact with each other. The unique features of the technology are that this is achieved with a minimum of energy input and in a way that the equipment does not get contaminates by the medium. GaLiCos has been used successfully for several years to thicken concentrated liquids and to strip NH₃ from water.

Low-value residual heat is usually only available to a limited extent and fossil fuel is expensive and unsustainable. With the development of a new module and through the combination of GaLiCos with AVaR, the number of possible applications and the energy efficiency are significantly increased.

CirTec is continuously working on improving and optimizing technology. The wishes and needs of the customer are always central. Cooperation and sharing knowledge are the keys to progress and crucial for CirTec and for that reason we involve innovative market parties at an early stage in the development and scaling up of our technology. Are you looking for innovative evaporation technology and are interested in being our launching customer to play a role in the successful market introduction of this technology, please visit us at the Aqua Nederland Trade Fair at stand 113B on the innovation street.
