Falling film evaporation plant for lysin
GEA Wiegand
The amino acid lysine is an important part of livestock feed. The process water resulting from the production is concentrated, and lysine is recovered. For this purpose, falling film evaporators with product circulation are used; they are heated by thermal or mechanical vapor recompressors. The plants are designed as multiple-effect plants. In most cases, a forced-circulation evaporator is used as finisher.
