Evaporation:- : Evaporation is the process used to concentrate a
solution by removing the solvent (mainly water) in a purified form by the
application of heat.

Multi Effect Evaporation:-

Multiple Effect Evaporation remains one of the popular

methods used for the concentration of aqueous solutions.
Water is removed from a solution by boiling the liquor in
an evaporator and withdrawing the vapour.
Evaporation occur in three steps:-
1- Pre-heating of a solution prior to evaporation,
2- Removal of water (solvent) as vapour by steam heating,
3- Condensing the vapour removed.
Multi Effect Evaporator:-

A multiple-effect evaporator, as defined in chemical

engineering, is an apparatus for efficiently using the heat
from steam to evaporate water.

It’s divided in to three category on the basis of feed direction:-

1- Forward feed multi effect evaporator,
2-Backword Feed multi effect evaporator,
3- Mixed feed multi effect evaporator.
