On-Board Evaporation Processing Options

Financial and Technical Analysis (2007). Alternative evaporation solutions were analyzed for a theoretical 7 700GRT factory trawler targeting South Antarctic krill resource. The concept is an evaporator designed for recovering a solvent or solutes from a solution. Different types of Evaporators were researched such as, but not restricted to; raising film contra pressure and pressure-vacuum; …
