Multi Effect Distillation
The Multi Effect Distillation (MED) process is based on iterative evaporation-condensation processes in several stages under vacuum conditions, using residual steam from an adjacent power plant as heating media for evaporation. The main challenge for the pumps is low NPSH available. Typically end suction, low NPSH pumps are required. For larger capacities axial split casing pumps are also used.
AHLSTAR A end-suction single-stage centrifugal process pumps are used for demanding industrial applications to ensure process reliability, high efficiency and low operating costs.
The SMD water pumps are available as standard and configured pumps to meet the demands of different water applications. With a best-in-class hydraulic design, the SMD pumps can take on challenges in raw, clean, sea and brackish water applications. The clean water pumps have ACS and NSF 61 drinking water certifications.
The ZE/ZF are ideal pumps for arduous industrial applications handling clean, cold or hot liquids, including hydrocarbons and light chemicals.
