Mechanical Vapor Recompression
Mechanical Vapor Recompression
(OP)
We are considering vapor recompression to upgrade the heat quality of a waste vapor stream so that it would be easier to integrate with existing proceses for heat recovery. I am looking for information on pros and cons of this as well as what issues may prevent this technology from being applicable.





RE: Mechanical Vapor Recompression
The economic justification would require a careful analysis of the net present worth of the installed hardware versus the economic value of the heat recovery, after deducting the operating costs of the compression system.

Like rmw said, you may want to consider thermorecompression.
