Different process options for concentration of olive mill waste water by evaporation are compared with the aim of minimizing the overall energy requirements. In particular, vapor mechanical and steam recompression, as well as the use of heat pumps to qualify the low temperature heat of the vapor stream are considered. Comparison is carried out in terms of overall energy end exergy balances as required from the water evaporation process and made available by the combustion process of the residue.

Abstract

Different process options for concentration of olive mill waste water by evaporation are compared with the aim of minimizing the overall energy requirements. In particular, vapor mechanical and steam recompression, as well as the use of heat pumps to qualify the low temperature heat of the vapor stream are considered. Comparison is carried out in terms of overall energy end exergy balances as required from the water evaporation process and made available by the combustion process of the residue.
