  2. Vapor-compression evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression_evaporation

    Vapor compression distiller made by BRAM-COR (Italy) Vapor-compression evaporation is the evaporation method by which a blower, compressor or jet ejector is used to compress, and thus, increase the pressure of the vapor produced.

  3. Vapor-compression desalination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression_desalination

    Using the second method, water vapor is compressed by means of a mechanical device, electrically driven in most cases. This form is designated mechanical vapor compression (MVC). The MVC process comprises two different versions: vapor compression (VC) and vacuum vapor compression (VVC).

  4. Slingshot (water vapor distillation system) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slingshot_(water_vapor...

    Slingshot is a water purification device created by inventor Dean Kamen. [1] Powered by a Stirling engine running on a combustible fuel source, it claims to be able to produce drinking water from almost any source [2] by means of vapor compression distillation, [3] requires no filters, and can operate using cow dung as fuel.

  5. Multiple-effect distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-effect_distillation

    Multiple-effect distillation or multi-effect distillation (MED) is a distillation process often used for sea water desalination. It consists of multiple stages or "effects". In each stage the feed water is heated by steam in tubes, usually by spraying saline water onto them.

  6. Alembic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alembic

    the "cucurbit" (Arabic: ḳarʿa; Greek: βῖκος, bîkos), the still pot containing the liquid to be distilled, which is heated by a flame; the "head" or "cap" (إِنْبِيق‎, ʾinbīq; Greek ἄμβιξ, ambix) which fits over the mouth of the cucurbit to receive the vapors, with an attached downward-sloping "tube" (σωλήν, sōlēn)

  7. Evaporator (marine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporator_(marine)

    An evaporator, distiller or distilling apparatus is a piece of ship's equipment used to produce fresh drinking water from sea water by distillation. As fresh water is bulky, may spoil in storage, and is an essential supply for any long voyage, the ability to produce more fresh water in mid-ocean is important for any ship.

  8. Fragrance extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragrance_extraction

    Fragrance extraction refers to the separation process of aromatic compounds from raw materials, using methods such as distillation, solvent extraction, expression, sieving, or enfleurage. [1] The results of the extracts are either essential oils , absolutes , concretes , or butters , depending on the amount of waxes in the extracted product.

  9. Continuous distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_distillation

    Image 1: Typical industrial distillation towers Image 2: A crude oil vacuum distillation column as used in oil refineries. Continuous distillation, a form of distillation, is an ongoing separation in which a mixture is continuously (without interruption) fed into the process and separated fractions are removed continuously as output streams.
