MVR Evaporation Units – Food & Pharma Sector – Italy 2023

Sector: Food & Pharma
Country: Italy
Year: 2023
Category: Falling Film Evaporator System

Objective:

Design, fabrication, and supply of two integrated MVR evaporation units, each consisting of one falling film evaporator and one high-capacity separator. These units are part of a broader optimization project for process syrup concentration and steam recovery in a leading food processing facility in the North of Italy.
