evaporating tanks?
(OP)
Please forgive an ME trying to solve a ChemE problem...
Does anyone have any experience with using an evaporation process to remove water from a solution. The solution is approximately 65% water, 30% sodium silicate, and a handful of other solutes. I need to remove half of the water from the solution. Is evaporation a logical way to do this? If so, can someone point me towards a process or manufacturer?
Thanks in advance.

What capacity do you need?
What would be your heat source?

However, without knowing more about your overall situation, most of us are not going to be able to give you much advice.
Can you tell us if you use steam in your plant, or process, and if there is any low pressure waste steam available, or other waste heat available? Otherwise, you are going to have to pay $$ to get the btu's to do the evaporation. This is the kind of evaluation you are going to have to make. But, we need more info to help you with your decision.

They supply evaporation plants and vaporization plants.
