Fresh Water   

Single stage 

 

 Sondex Freshwater Distiller 

The Sondex freshwater distiller utilizes the heat from diesel engine jacket cooling water to produce pure drinkable water by evaporating sea water under high vacuum, enabling the feed water to evaporate at temperatures below 48°C.

Steam can also be used as the heat source instead of the hot jacket water.

The Sondex freshwater distiller is based on two Sondex titanium plate heat exchangers, acting as an evaporator and a condenser respectively.

Capacity 1-150 tons/day. 

 

Features and Application

  • The Sondex multistage freshwater distiller is based
    on the utilization of waste heat basically used where
     high production is required, and the energy available
     is limited. 
  • The Sondex multistage unit is therefore only
     consuming about the energy of the single-stage
     units.
  • The typical applications are off-shore rigs, passenger
     ships, hotels and other places where the waste heat
     is limited or expensive to create.
  • The Sondex multistage units have been specially
     designed and fully scale tested, before introduction
     to the market, in order to secure a stable and
     reliable production with long service intervals, and
     production of very pure fresh water with low
     salinity. 
  • The Sondex multistage units are today covering a
     capacity range from 50 to 500 tons/day. Therefore
     we can offer our customers an economical and
     technical solution which is far superior to any other
     evaporators on the market.
  • The Sondex multistage unit is remarkable on many
     points and is also based on the specially designed
     "vertical tube" design plates resulting in excellent
     water distribution with no disturbing contact points in
     the boiling stage. Thus the water scaling is very low.
  • The Sondex multistage unit operates fully
     automatically according to given water flow and
     pressures, and requires a minimum of supervision.
  • Steam can also be used as the heat source instead
    of the hot jacket water.
