MULTIPLE EFFECT CAPABILITIES

THE BROADEST SELECTION AVAILABLE. PURE AND SIMPLE.

MECO is a leading manufacturer of multiple effect distillation systems for the

production of Water for Injection (WFI) with hundreds of installations worldwide.
We have the broadest product line in the industry with sizes that range from 72 gph/
hr. (273 kg/hr.) to 3,966 gph/ hr. (15,013 kg/hr.). MECO multiple effect distillers are
designed to produce Water for Injection (WFI) in accordance with all recognized
112 3/8
pharmacopoeia.
[2854] The ME stills are modular in design and include options for
TP-ME2
simultaneous and exclusive pure steam production. In addition, the MECO multiple
effect stills meet or exceed the latest cGMP requirements, including sanitary
construction features such as double tubesheet exchangers (first effect, interstage and
condensers), sloped piping, low point drains, no dead legs and sanitary connections.
MECO ME stills come equipped with a dual condenser mounted above the unit
for gravity flow into the WFI tank. Our generators offer various options including a

ME-EV102 ME-EV103 ME-EV104 ME-EV105
condensing and sampling system to ensure the product quality.

MULTIPLE EFFECT FEATURES

NATURAL CIRCULATION

The MECO design is based on natural circulation which provides uniform heat
transfer and wetting, thus reducing the effects of scaling or premature failure of
the evaporator due to corrosion.

ADVANCED PLC CONTROL SYSTEM

Using PID loops with transmitters and control valves on the process utilities
enables MECO multiple effect stills to operate in a stable and uninterrupted
manner regardless of external influences. PID loop control of feed water level
and WFI temperature provides for stable, reliable operation..
MULTIPLE EFFECT FEATURES (Cont’d.)

SUPERIOR SEPERATION

MECO multiple effect stills utilize a vertical disengagement section, stainless

steel baffles and a demister which provide superior separation and dryness at
reduced flows over those which utilize centrifugal forces.

MODULAR STAINLESS STEEL SKID

The modular skid for MECO multiple effect stills is designed for easy
assembly and disassembly, flexibility and easy delivery. Adaptable to most any
production space, the stainless steel skid is easy to clean and maintenance free.

OPTIONAL SIMULTANEOUS OR EXCLUSIVE PURE STEAM PRODUCTION

For applications where pure steam is required, but a separate pure steam generator skid
is not optimum or feasible, every MECO multiple effect still can be equipped with a pure
steam option. The pure steam option allows your MECO multiple effect still to produce
pure steam simultaneously with WFI, or operate exclusively as a clean steam generator.
MECO offers the broadest range of pure steam capacities
available from a multiple effect still and can specifically
size a pure steam option to meet your
project requirements.

OPTIONAL VARIABLE CAPACITY, TURN

DOWN TO 80%*

Depending on your production capacity, MECO

offers an optional variable capacity which can
allow for turn down up to 80% on our standard units.
Start time to Full Production

FAST START-UP AND HOT STAND-BY

MECO plants come online in minutes and are instantaneously and reliably started from a
