Crystal-clear oil-free distillate without auxiliary filters
Catalytic pack inserts, vapor gaskets, and connection seals

Activepowerclean Self-Cleaning Evaporator Heat Exchangers

The Activepowerclean tubular heat exchanger reduces VACUDEST energy consumption by 28% through continuous cleaning with circulating ceramic beads. Fluid dynamics circulate the grinding beads to eliminate scale deposits from saline wastewater. We provide ceramic beads, traps, and flow transmitters.

VACUDEST Mechanical Design and Mechanical Vapor Recompression

Modular H2O VACUDEST vacuum distillation systems across XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL series operate on the principle of mechanical vapor recompression (MVR). Operating under deep vacuum lowers the boiling point of industrial wastewater.

Generated steam is mechanically compressed by a precision roots blower, increasing temperature and enthalpy before passing through the heat exchanger to boil incoming feed.

This closed-loop latent heat recovery consumes up to 90% less energy than atmospheric evaporators, recovering up to 98% of industrial wastewater as clean distillate.

Clearcat Catalytic Vapor Condensation for Zero-Carbon Water Recovery

Patented Clearcat technology (US Patent US 8,206,558 B2) eliminates residual hydrocarbons and emulsified cutting oils from industrial wastewater without secondary consumables.

Unlike standard activated carbon adsorption beds, Clearcat integrates a physical-catalytic condensation stage directly into the vapor line. Catalytic media breaks down volatile organic fractions, producing crystal-clear, oil-free distillate with dramatically reduced chemical oxygen demand (COD).

Recovered water is engineered for high-purity rinsing loops in metal plating and painting pre-treatment.

Activepowerclean Fluidized Ceramic Bead Cleaning System

Concentrating heavy-duty industrial wastewater containing dissolved salts and heavy metals inevitably causes stubborn scaling on heat exchanger walls. The patented Activepowerclean system deploys circulating ceramic grinding beads inside the tubular evaporator bundle.

Driven by fluid velocity, the beads continually scour inner tube surfaces to dislodge scale and mineral deposits at inception. This maintains optimal thermal conductivity, prevents pipe blockage, and reduces VACUDEST system operating power consumption by 28%.

Destcontrol Distillate pH Stabilization and Purecat COD Polishing

Thermal concentration of complex wastewater often induces secondary chemical dissociation that acidifies pure distillate and damages storage vessels. H2O Destcontrol measures pH directly in the purified distillate stream and meters neutralizing reagent straight into the boiling chamber.

For ultra-pure water recycling, the secondary Purecat module cuts remaining COD values by up to an additional 50%. This combined conditioning produces stable, neutral distillate suitable for immediate manufacturing reuse or municipal compliance.

Vacutouch Digital Control Architecture and Remote e-Service

The Vacutouch programmable controller with an intuitive color touchscreen delivers full automated supervision over all vacuum distillation phases.

The system continuously logs operational parameters, temperatures, vacuum levels, and distillate conductivity, storing 12 months of auditable process records. Integrated e-Service internet connectivity links the installation to technical support.

Remote online diagnostics resolves up to 80% of operational faults without requiring physical technician visits to the plant.
