In order to eliminate liquid accumulation occurring between a gas-liquid mixing part and a vaporization part to stably perform liquid feeding to the vaporization part and vaporization in the vaporization part, a liquid material vaporization apparatus includes: a gas-liquid mixing part adapted to mix a liquid material and gas to produce a gas-liquid mixture; and a vaporization part adapted to heat the gas-liquid mixture to vaporize the liquid material. In addition, the gas-liquid mixing part has a gas-liquid mixture lead-out pipe for leading out the gas-liquid mixture, the vaporization part has a heating flow path HS for heating the gas-liquid mixture, and a lead-out port of the gas-liquid mixture lead-out pipe is arranged in the heating flow path HS.

Systems and methods utilize heated waste flue gas to indirectly heat untreated water. The heated waste flue gas, which may come from a steam generator, passes through one or more heating coils in a vessel to vaporize untreated water and separate out solids and other contaminants before subsequent condensing. The steam generator may receive resulting treated water to produce steam for injection.

A method and apparatus for enzymatic hydrolysis where a plant based feed is hydrolysed using an enzyme to form a hydrolysed product. An additive for preventing enzyme adsorption is fed to an enzymatic hydrolysis stage, the plant based feed the hydrolysed product a starting material, and/or a plant based material formed from the starting material. The hydrolysed product is supplied from the enzymatic hydrolysis stage to a first solid-liquid separation stage where a lignin fraction comprising the additive and a liquid composition comprising the enzyme are separated. The liquid composition is mixed with the plant based material in a mixing stage, forming a mixture. A solid fraction and liquid fraction are separated from the mixture in a second solid-liquid separation stage. At least part of the solid which comprises comprising the enzyme is fed as the plant based feed to the enzymatic hydrolysis stage.

A desalination system that includes a plurality of evaporators that are fluidly connected in series, a primary compressor that is fluidly connected to the evaporators to provide a compressed vapor to the evaporators to run the desalination system, and a secondary compressor that is arranged in parallel relative to the primary compressor, wherein the secondary compressor extracts a portion of vapor from a first evaporator and/or one intermediate evaporator in the series and delivers the vapor to the first evaporator. Various combinations of embodiments of the desalination system are provided.

The present invention relates to the field of food industry and to pharmacology and medicine, and it is intended for refining water-alcohol mixtures by the way of de-rectifying and homogenizing those mixtures, and also it will find a wide application in manufacturing and processing beverages or liquid medicaments based on rectified spirit. The objective of the invention is to create such a method for refining rectified alcohol, which would ensure maximum improvement of a beverage by small changes in its structure while maintaining the original taste of the initial product, as well as creating a device for refining rectified alcohol that would ensure the high efficiency of the processes for de-rectifying and homogenizing of the beverage evenly throughout the rectifying column with minimal production costs.

An evaporator with integrated heat recovery incorporates a vapor tube in a combustion chamber surrounded by a water jacket. The water jacket is in fluid communication with an exhaust gas heat exchanger. Coolant circulates through the exhaust gas heat exchanger to recover heat from exhaust gasses leaving the combustion chamber and then circulates through the water jacket surrounding the combustion chamber to recover heat not delivered to the operating fluid. The evaporator may incorporate a condenser within the housing and in fluid communication with the exhaust gas heat exchanger and water jacket. Coolant may enter the evaporator housing at the condenser before circulating through the exhaust gas heat exchanger and water jacket.

A fluid vapor distillation apparatus. The apparatus includes a source fluid input, and an evaporator condenser apparatus. The evaporator condenser apparatus includes a substantially cylindrical housing and a plurality of tubes in the housing. The source fluid input is fluidly connected to the evaporator condenser and the evaporator condenser transforms source fluid into steam and transforms compressed steam into product fluid. Also included in the fluid vapor distillation apparatus is a heat exchanger fluidly connected to the source fluid input and a product fluid output. The heat exchanger includes an outer tube and at least one inner tube. Also included in the fluid vapor distillation apparatus is a regenerative blower fluidly connected to the evaporator condenser. The regenerative blower compresses steam, and the compressed steam flows to the evaporative condenser where compressed steam is transformed into product fluid. The fluid vapor distillation apparatus also includes a control system.
