High-volume condensers, ejectors, and spray pond capacity maintain dependable vacuum across pans and evaporators.
Eight vacuum pans ranging from 700 to 3,000 cubic feet use air-hydraulic cutover valves, with pans five through eight automated via a Smar control system.
Individual condensers and Schutte & Koerting ejectors serve both evaporators and pans, with an additional ejector dedicated to rapid pan station pull-downs.
A redesigned spray pond delivers 35,280 gpm of cooling capacity. Seven pumps totaling 53,580 gpm recirculate water, while injection pumps capable of 47,500 gpm feed condensers, supplemented by treated makeup water as needed.
