Our company’s independently developed, designed, and manufactured 5‑ton, 10‑degree (evaporation capacity of 5 t/h, with a saturated steam temperature rise of 10°C) centrifugal steam compressor has been successfully deployed in the sugar‑alcohol concentration MVR system of Qingdao Mingyue Algae Group. This system is used to replace conventional three‑effect evaporators.

Qingdao Mingyue Algae Group is an internationally renowned enterprise specializing in algae processing and sugar alcohol production. The project was launched at the end of 2011 and completed installation and commissioning in March 2012. To date, the system has been operating stably, with all performance parameters meeting design specifications. According to actual calculations, evaporating one ton of water now requires approximately 35 kW of electricity and no steam, whereas prior to the upgrade, a three-effect evaporation process consumed 0.35 tons of steam and 10 kW of electricity per ton of water evaporated. The results indicate that, by adopting the MVR system, daily operating costs can be reduced by nearly RMB 10,000 (based on a steam price of RMB 260 per ton and an electricity rate of RMB 0.7 per kWh), enabling the investment to be recouped within one year.

Our company’s centrifugal steam compressors deliver a single‑stage temperature rise of 8 to 25°C and handle medium flow rates ranging from 0.3 to 40 tons per hour. In terms of performance and reliability, they can replace comparable imported equipment while significantly shortening delivery lead times, enabling us to provide customers with more timely and comprehensive pre‑sales and after‑sales support. These compressors are widely applicable in MVR evaporation, steam recovery for distillation columns, steam boosting, and other fields, boasting substantial market potential and playing a crucial role in helping enterprises achieve energy savings and emission reductions.
