Equipment: MVR Evaporators, Separators, Complete Ducting & Process Piping
Design Code: EN 13445
Project Overview
Following the successful installation of two MVR evaporators in 2015, CITAL was again entrusted in 2021 with providing an upgraded syrup concentration MVR plant in Yorshire (UK). The new installation closely replicates the successful design at the North of Italy site, with improvements in heat-exchange capacity, distribution efficiency, inspection accessibility, and structural optimization.
In addition to the new evaporators and separators, CITAL provided full fabrication, supply, and site installation of all large-diameter ducting and process piping.
