Multiple-effect Evaporator




The multiple-effect evaporator was invented by the African-American engineer Norbert Rillieux . Although he may have designed the apparatus during the 1820s and constructed a prototype in 1834 , he did not build the first industrially practical evaporator until 1845 . Originally designed for concentrating Sugar in Sugar Cane juice, it has since become widely used in all industrial applications where large volumes of water must be evaporated, such as Salt production and water Desalination .
