IDE Technologies - Thermal Desalination – Mechanical Vapour Compression (MVC) Solutions for Seawater
IDE’s self-contained MVC units are a reliable thermal desalination solution for refineries, process industries and power plants, suitable when distilled water is required for industrial processes and as part of a ZLD application . Dozens of industrial companies with a critical need for stable and reliable sources of process and boiler feed water have deployed the MVC as an affordable, low-maintenance thermal solution.
IDE’s MVC units range in capacity from 250 to 3,000 m3/day (the highest capacity in the market) and can be deployed in parallel to multiply production.
MVC- The workhorse of industrial seawater desalination
IDE’s MVC concept is based on a highly efficient horizontal ‘falling film’ evaporator, with an innovative application of the heat pump principle. This allows each MVC unit to create a continuous flow of distilled water (0.2 – 2 ppm TDS). Throughout the process, energy is recirculated making the entire process highly efficient.
