Custom Evaporation Tower System 

FTPL11490

Location: Queensland, Australia 

Time:  Jun 2025 – Present 

Background 

A leading advanced materials company required an evaporation tower system to support its refining process for ultra-high purity materials. To meet growing demand, the company is expanding its processing capabilities at one of its industrial sites. 

To support its refining process, the company needed an evaporation tower system to heat and recirculate process water while controlling any vapour emissions. Fowlerex was asked to design and supply a suitable scrubber package.  This design incorporates a packed tower scrubber equipped with stainless steel packing and a recirculation pump, ensuring effective heat transfer and vapour scrubbing without excessive energy use. The equipment will be fabricated from 304/316 stainless steel, insulated with rockwool and supplied with access ladders and platforms. Delivery will be coordinated through a major Queensland port, with civil and electrical works handled by the client. 

Solutions

Scrubber package: Provide a PK2250/2000 packed tower scrubber with recirculation pump,  recirculation piping and sensors. 

Fan and ducting: Supply a FB1000100 extraction fan (45 kW) and interconnecting ductwork between the fan and scrubber. 

Ancillary equipment: Rockwool insulation, aluminium cladding, and a 3m exhaust stack. 

Access: Fit steel access platforms and ladders finished in protective paint. 

Fowlerex is currently finalising design details and preparing procurement. Once approved, the evaporation scrubber system will move into fabrication and installation phases.
