Engineered Systems
DESCRIPTION
A single stage, steam heated, vertical tube, natural circulation Vacuum Evaporation System.

APPLICATION
Concentration of Water / PAG (Phenyl Acetyl Glutamine) solution used to synthesize antineoplastons, non-toxic, antitumor agents that appear to reprogram cancer cells to revert to normal cells.

OVERVIEW
The illustrated evaporator is the second DDPS system applied by the client for this application. This unit features Push-button Start / Stop, PLC Controlled, continuous separation and discharge of solvent (usually water) and periodic discharge of concentrate at a prescribed density. The design was developed for the metal finishing industry in the early 70s for point-source recovery of corrosive plating bath drag-out chemistries and associated rinse waters for recycle to the finishing process. It is easily adapted to other applications.
