Preface
This book results from an evaporation technology course I have taught for some
time. Evaporation is one of the oldest unit operations; it is also an area in which
much has changed in the last quarter century. This book is my attempt to pre-
sent evaporation technology as it is generally practiced today. Although there
are other methods of separation which can be considered, evaporation will re-
main the best separation process for many applications. However, all factors
must be properly evaluated in order to select the best evaporator type.
Evaporation technology has often been proprietary to a panies who de-
sign evaporation systems. This situation has benefits, but it also has drawbacks
to users of evaporation equipment. Evaporation does not need to be considered
an art; good engineering can result in efficient evaporation systems which oper-
ate reliably and easily. However, some experience in evaporator design is cer-
tainly an advantage in understanding the many problems that can and do occur
in evaporation processes.
Much of what is said in this book has been said before. There have, however,
been
