    Mechanical Vapor Compression (MVC)

    Desalination
    The Most Robust & Reliable Seawater Desalination Solution
    for the Power Industry

    www.ide-tech.com
    Mission Critical
    IDE's MVC unit is a reliable, cost-effective desalination solution for power plants, refineries, process
    industries. Dozens of power plants with a critical need for stable and reliable sources of process water have
    installed our MVC desalination units as an affordable, low-maintenance, workhorse desalination solution.

    The MVC process is a compressor driven, low pressure, desalination process, in which seawater flows into
    the unit through a set of heat exchangers where it is heated by exchanging residual heat from the product and
    brine, which is rejected from the unit.
    After the heat exchangers, the seawater flows into an auxiliary condenser where it is deaerated prior to
    entering the MVC evaporator-condenser.
    In the evaporator-condenser, the seawater is sprayed as a falling film on the upper surface of the horizontal
    heat exchanger tube bundles, and exchanges heat with the water vapor that flows in the tubes.
    This heat exchange causes part of the seawater to evaporate, while the water vapor in the tubes is condensed
    to permeate.
    The seawater that is not evaporated is circulated and sprayed again on the upper surface of the heat transfer
    tubes until it reaches the target salinity. It is then rejected from the MVC unit as brine.
    The generated water vapor is evacuated from the evaporator-condenser through mist eliminators, using a
    mechanical compressor, which is the heart of the MVC process.
    The role of the compressor is to drive the process by continually evaluating the generated water vapor,
    compressing it to a higher pressure and temperature, and extracting it into the heat transfer tubes.
    The MVC process can be implemented in a single stage or multi-stage arrangement, in which water vapor that
    is generated in one effect flows into the heat transfer tubes of the next effect to generate additional water.

    Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) -
    Success Repeating Itself
    Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) is a public sector enterprise under
    the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India. In 2006, NPCIL chose IDE’s
    MVC desalination units to supply the power plant’s UPW needs. Since then, IDE's four MVC
    desalination units, each with a capacity of 2,560 m3/day (0.68 MGD), have been in continuous
    operation, exceeding their performance expectations year after year.

    It was only natural that when NPCIL decided to expand the power plant they chose IDE to
    supply the UPW units for the expansion, and four new MVC desalination units were contracted
    to be supplied by 2020.

    IDE also provides O&M services to the power plant, ensuring the high availability of the
    mission critical desalination plants.

    Overview
    • Total capacity : 10,240 m3/day (2.7MGD)
    • Project type : Engineering – Procurement – Operation and
    Maintenance (EP & O&M)
    • Location : Kudankulam, Tamil Nadu, India
    • Footprint : 60m x 50m
    • Commissioned : 2006

    Highlights
    • Track record of continuous successful
    operation for over 13 years
    • Technological leadership
    • Optimized design results in highly cost
    effective, reliable operation, with low energy
    consumption

    Our MVC desalination technology


    is the most reliable and trusted
    seawater desalination solution for
    the power-generating industry. Our
    unique compressor design makes the
    MVC desalination plant a workhorse
    for delivering UPW at the most
    stringent conditions.
