Customer’s needs
In their Polish premises, they use a unique technology to print directly on capsules with a low energy laser. The Client aims to reduce the residue to incinerate and the relevant costs.
The Solution provided
The unit supplied to the client is a EVALED® PC F 4, with a distillate production capacity of 4 m3/day and a footprint of 3.2 m2. EVALED® PC F is a line of heat pump vacuum evaporators designed to treat liquids with a high content of dissolved solids while minimizing the fouling and scaling phenomena with low temperature evaporation.
The Solution achieved
• a target of less than 10 μg/l of Dutasteride in the distillate and the reduction of the disposal costs;
• a benefit of ~94% water reused;
• a 16.7 times concentration factor.
