The Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) evaporation system is a vacuum-based machine designed to concentrate and crystallize high-salinity or heat-sensitive solutions. By mechanically compressing secondary vapor and recycling it as the heating medium, the system achieves remarkable energy savings, low operating costs, and continuous stable performance.
Widely applied in chemical, pharmaceutical, food, environmental, and salt industries, the MVR vacuum evaporator is suitable for brine concentration, salt crystallization, high-COD wastewater ZLD, pulp black liquor, and value-added product recovery.
Secondary vapor is mechanically compressed, raising its temperature and reusing latent heat as the main heating source.
Operates under vacuum to lower boiling points, improve thermal economy, and protect sensitive materials.
Robust turbo/Roots compressors with VFD control allow high efficiency and load flexibility.

Is MVR suitable for high-salt wastewater?
Yes — the system is widely used in ZLD projects for high-salinity brine concentration and crystallization.
Can it handle food-grade applications?
Absolutely — stainless steel 316L/duplex materials, hygienic designs, and full CIP validation are available.
How does it save energy?
By compressing and reusing vapor, MVR recovers latent heat, drastically lowering steam use compared to multi-effect units.
