In 1908, Wilhelm Wiegand, technical manager of operation in his fathers leather factory,
developed the first evaporator for an economical concentration of tanners liquors.
Since the first plant already was considerably superior to the conventional concentra-
tors, the Wiegand evaporator was also successfully introduced to other industries.
In 1928, for the first time Wiegand evaporators had been exported. The scope of supply
was extended by taking over the technical documents of the jet pump division of the
company “Blancke” in Merseburg.
In 1944, a disastrous air attack destroyed all the fabricating facilities. Immediately after
the end of the war the reconstruction of the machine shop started. A specially designed
pump called SIEVA for extracting boiling liquids from the vacuum extended the delivery
program of the Wiegand company.
In 1951, Paul Wiegand became general manager. Rudolf Jahn and Karl Stief became
general partners of the company.
Since 1990, the company was reprivatized under the name of “Apparatebau Merseburg
GmbH”. It is now again an independent medium-sized company since.
In 1994, the company was restructured and the name was changed to "Anlagen- und
Apparatebau GmbH Merseburg".
In May 2000, because new partners were taken on board the company name was altered
to “ANA-Verfahrenstechnik GmbH”. The production is still being kept at the old location
in Merseburg.

Important for the effect of a jet pump are the pressures at the connections and the related
streams. There are three different connections at a jet pump:

Multistage steam jet vacuum pumps
Steam jet vacuum pumps are pumps without movable parts. The functional principle is described
in sheet „Design and principle of operation of jet pumps“.
Steam jet air pumps are used for plants of rectification, evaporation, drying, sublimation, de-
gassing, condensation, deodorisation and polymerization.
In similarity with steam jet vacuum pumps it is valid for steam jet air pumps that the reachable ratio
of compression from the counterpressure to the suction pressure is limited. Therefore it is neces-
sary at the suction from higher vacuum that the total compression ratio from the suction to the
atmospheric pressure is splitted up to several steam ejectors. The number of stages is dependent
on the driving steam pressure and the suction pressure.
The direct close to one another connection of several steam ejectors involves a high consumption
of steam because each following stage has to suck and to compress the driving steam of the
stage before. By interconnection of condensers the driving steam is condensed as far as possible.
The Fig. 1 and 2 show examples for multistage steam jet vacuum units.
Fig.1: Flow sheet of a 5-stage steam jet vacuum pump with surface condensers
In high vacuum, where the temperature of dry saturated steam is near the temperature of cool-
ing water or under that, the interconnection of condensers is no longer possible. Here the
steam ejectors have to be connected directly close to one another. In the finevacuum it is nec-
essary to heat the ejectors.
Fig.1 shows the flow chart of a vacuum unit with 5 compression levels. Because of the inlet tem-
perature the cooling water approves a inter condensation in shell space only after the second
stage. So the first and second stage must be connected in series.
Steam jet vacuum pumps are optimized procedurally for the case of operation. Because of choice
of pressure stepping the motive steam consumption is minimized.
Such units were designed with up to 7 stages and a intake pressure of 0,01 mbar a at a suction
performance of 5 kg/h air-water steam-mixture.
A further important criterion to select the design is e.g. the product attribute of suction streams.
Products pitching to contamination of heat exchange faces can be used instead of surface con-
densers as mixing condensers. In mixing condensers with very small temperature differential can
be condensed.
Fig. 2 shows a 4-stage steam jet vacuum unit with mixing condensers. Several suction flows with
different suction pressure are compressed to a same intermediate pressure and then condensed
in a inter cooler. Inert and non-condensable steam portions are exhausted from following stages
and then compressed.
The design is barometrically, it means 11m over the liquid level of the condensate collector.

The following described coupling of a steam jet vacuum pump to vent a turbine condenser shows
a very favourable variant of vacuum creation.
This is a 2-stage plant and compresses from the pressure, that is in the turbine condenser, to
atmospheric pressure. Bled steam is used as motive steam. The condensation of the driving
steam in the condensers of the steam jet vacuum pump is done with help of the condensate
from the turbine condenser. So the heat of the driving steam is almost completely fed to the
condensate for the boiler feed.
Depending on the conditions of application we offer 2-stage steam jet pumps in different designs:

Designing and manufacturing of steam jet vacuum units are made regarding material employment,
armature choice, MSR-technology, surface treatment and plant redundancy usually by customers
specification.
Because of some decades grown know-how we are also a partner and advice gladly with design of
units.
If required the process engineering dimensioning is made according to VGB- or HEI-guideline.
Mechanical dimensioning and design occur according to DGRL 97/23/EG, AD 2000, ASME or
GOST.
All processes are controlled by our quality management system according to DIN EN ISO
9001:2000.

APPARATUSES AND VESSELS
In the field of the construction of apparatuses and vessels the ANA-Verfahrenstechnik GmbH
deals with planning, procedural and constructive design and the production of special apparatuses
and vessels
Heat exchangers are dimensioned and manufactured as apparatus component in evaporator and
vacuum units. These engineering workings are realized by modern computer engineering.
Technical documents (flow sheets, installation and assembly plans) are created using Auto-
CAD2006/2007.
Stability computations for apparatuses and vessels are made with the program Win_Shell in ac-
cordance with AD2000 and ASME.
The manufacturing of pressure vessels is always done with reference to the PED97/23/EG,
AD2000 - HPO as well as DIN 18800 part 7 for welding.
As authorized company according to the water household law § 19I we perform work at appara-
tuses in which flammable liquids of all danger classes according to TRbF/VbF can be stored.
Fig. 1 shows a variant, where two water jet ventilators can be operated parallelly. They are in-
stalled together with packing material column on the separator vessel.
Fig. 2 shows a jet gas scrubber. The water jet ventilator and the counter current scrubber are in-
stalled at the separator. The scrubber is design with a plate cooler.

Evaporators
Since 1908, evaporators are planned, designed and delivered world wide for different fields of ap-
plication at the location of the ANA-Verfahrenstechnik GmbH. This longtime experience is to you
at the disposal. We design the evaporating plants according to customers’ requirements. We de-
liver units ready to use as well as single components.
ANA- evaporators come up to all requirements in view of product attributes, operator convenience,
reliability and economics. Such requirements are very different in several ranges where we operate.
Industrial applications follow in the food industry, pharmaceutical and chemical industry.
ANA-evaporators are designed one or multi staged with thermal vapours compression or me-
chanical vapour compression.
To test the evaporation reaction our testing evaporating plant can be used. On request we can
borrow it.
