Industrial Process Equipment: Types and Applications
Can you imagine an industry functioning or manufacturing final products without technology or equipment? Even the handicraft industry requires the help of small tools or artisan tools to release the best of products, and more giant industries or manufacturing units definitely can only function with process equipment. So, what exactly is the meaning of equipment? Let’s understand.
What Is Process Equipment?
Process equipment manufacturers make machinery that eases and helps transform raw materials into intermediate commodities and end products. There are multiple types of equipment to suit specific industries, products, and process demands.
Several industries, including chemical & petrochemical, pharmaceutical, water treatment, food & beverage, energy, pulp & paper, textile, and mining industries, use process equipment such as valves, condensers, and MVR evaporators to obtain desired results. However, let’s understand two standard pieces of equipment and know the industries they are used in.
Types of Process Equipment
MVR Evaporators
A Mechanical Vapor Recompression Evaporator, popularly known as MVR Evaporator, is an industrial evaporation equipment manufactured by leading industrial equipment manufacturers like Thermosag India Pvt Ltd to undertake efficient concentration of wastewater, juice, chemicals, and several other liquids.
It comprises and recycles the vapor generated during evaporation to enhance the process of separating solute from the solvent, i.e., concentration while processing certain liquids. MVR uses a compressor to increase the vapor’s temperature and pressure, which is ultimately recycled and sent back to the evaporation chamber, providing supplemental heat to increase the evaporation rate.
Overall, MVR works on a heat principle wherein it uses minimum energy and the plant’s maximum capacity to remove water from effluents. Some of the industries that use MVR evaporators are.
● Food & beverage industry
● Wastewater treatment industry
● Pulp & paper industry
● Pharmaceutical industry
● Chemical industry
Air-cooled condensers
Process equipment manufacturers in India manufacture dry coolers, also known as aircooled condensers (ACC). They are cooling systems and heat exchangers wherein the fins or tubes condense steam. A fan blows cool air over various fins and tubes of hot fluid. The heat released from the fluids disappears in the surrounding.
ACC, a dry cooling technology that condensates the liquid by using no or less water, is typical where cooling liquids or water is scarce or expensive or under rules that restrict water discharge because of environmental regulations. Condensers are commonly used for distillation in chemical industries and various steam power plants. Here’s a list of a few industries or sectors which uses ACC.
● Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry
● Petrochemical industry
● Food and beverage industry
● Power generation industry
Wrapping up
Industrial or process equipment is an essential part of several processes. It ensures workers’ safety, enhances efficiency, optimizes tasks, and maintains quality while following the government’s regulations. Overall, quality process equipment will ease industrial operations, and to purchase the best quality industrial equipment, you can contact Thermosag India Pvt Ltd
