In Asia, mono sodium glutamate is used as a flavor enhancer in order to enhance the taste of meat and fish meals. This is especially used in Asia for the production of finished products.
Falling film evaporators with high capacities are used for the production of mono sodium glutamate to increase concentration. In plants such as these, energy use is the main operation cost, which is why an energy optimized design is extremely important.
GEA Wiegand is a technology leader when it comes to energy efficient evaporator plants. GEA Wiegand won the order of one of the world's most important producers for MSG to refurbish an evaporation plant of a renowned Japan competitor.
GEA Wiegand can reference 4000 plants and have long-term experiences all over the world when it comes to building evaporators. Thanks to their know-how in complete evaporator technology, they can perform refurbishments of most evaporator types.
Above all, GEA Wiegand uses mechanical vampor recompressors which create energy savings way above those of competitors.
Regularly in evaporators, the occurring vapor flow is condensed and thus its energy contents is mostly lost. However, mechanical recompression allows this energy flow to return to the process by compressing the vapor to a higher pressure - thus higher energy content.
Mechanical vapor recompression reduces the comsumption of primary energy which is a contribution to saving resources.
