Falling Film Evaporators

High-efficiency thermal evaporation for brine concentration and ZLD pre-treatment.

Overview

Basiia supplies falling film evaporators (FFE) as the primary concentration stage in Zero Liquid Discharge systems. Thin-film downward flow across vertical tube bundles maximises heat transfer efficiency while minimising scaling and fouling — making FFEs the preferred choice for high-volume brine concentration ahead of crystallisation. Our units are engineered for industrial wastewater, produced water, and process streams with high TDS loads.

Typical Applications

  • ZLD brine concentration — first-stage evaporation
  • Produced water and oilfield brine treatment
  • Desalination reject concentration
  • Industrial wastewater volume reduction
  • Power plant FGD wastewater treatment
  • Mining process water and leachate concentration
  • Food and beverage evaporation and concentration
  • Chemical and pharmaceutical process streams

Key Features

Engineered for Performance

Thin-Film Evaporation

Liquid distributed as a thin falling film over vertical tube surfaces — maximising heat transfer area, minimising residence time, and reducing thermal degradation of heat-sensitive streams.

Multi-Effect Configuration

Multiple-effect designs (double, triple, or quadruple effect) reuse vapour energy across successive stages — significantly reducing steam consumption and operating costs versus single-effect units.

Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) Ready

Compatible with MVR integration for near-zero steam consumption — compressor recompresses evaporated vapour back to the heating side, achieving very low specific energy consumption (kWh/m³).

Anti-Scaling Design

Optimised tube geometry, velocity, and wetting rates minimise scaling tendency — with provisions for CIP (clean-in-place) chemical cleaning and optional anti-scalant dosing integration.

Materials for Corrosive Streams

Tube bundles and wetted surfaces available in duplex stainless steel, super duplex, titanium, or high-alloy materials — selected to match brine chemistry, chloride content, and operating temperature.

Integrated Instrumentation & Control

Full PLC/SCADA control with level, temperature, pressure, and flow monitoring — automated startup, shutdown, and CIP sequences with remote monitoring capability.

Applicable Standards

  • ASME VIII Div. 1 (Pressure Vessels)
  • TEMA (Heat Exchanger Design)
  • ISO 9001
  • ATEX / IECEx (where applicable)
  • Local environmental discharge regulations
