Engineer-to-order MVR (Mechanical Vapor Recompression) evaporator with forced circulation, designed for continuous seawater/brine desalination and SWRO brine concentration. Tuned for 440 V low-voltage grids (50/60 Hz configurable), it recycles latent heat via mechanical recompression to achieve high energy efficiency, stable throughput, and reduced discharge volumes.
Secondary vapor is mechanically compressed to raise saturation temperature and reused as the heating medium. High-velocity forced circulation stabilizes heat transfer on saline feeds. Tight control of pressure, ΔT, and residence time enables gentle, efficient evaporation with consistent condensate quality.
LV integration for 440 V (50/60 Hz), with VFD-driven compressor/pumps, soft-start, and optional AFE/harmonic filters for grid compliance. MV step-up options available on request.
Wetted parts in SS316L/duplex or titanium for chloride service; anti-scale dosing, validated CIP, sloped piping, and large clean-outs support long campaigns and fast turnarounds.

*Performance depends on feed salinity/temperature, fouling tendency, compression ratio, and heat-transfer design.
Yes. As a brine concentrator, MVR increases overall plant recovery and reduces brine volume for discharge or ZLD.
Through pretreatment, optimized ΔT/LMTD and velocity, antiscalant dosing, and scheduled CIP based on fouling indicators.
No. Systems can be configured for 380–480 V LV or MV (3.3–11 kV) depending on site power and compressor sizing.
