Evaporator / Crystallizer - Training Guide
============================================================

MINIMUM RESOLUTION: 980 x 600 px
RECOMMENDED: 1920 x 1080 (16:9) or larger

SIMULATOR OVERVIEW
----------------------------------------
Multi-effect evaporator and crystallizer simulator covering heat balance, vacuum control, crystal growth, and steam economy per API 560 and industrial practice.

Standards: API 560 · ASME PTC 12.1

INTERFACE LAYOUT
----------------------------------------
- LEFT PANEL: System controls (Start/Stop/ESD/Reset, Mode toggle)
- CENTER: P&ID schematic with real-time process visualization
- RIGHT PANEL: System gauges, operational checklist, alarm list

OPERATING PROCEDURES
----------------------------------------
  Step 1: Establish vacuum in all effects
  Step 2: Start ejector / vacuum pump
  Step 3: Open steam to 1st effect
  Step 4: Start feed pump
  Step 5: Verify level control in each effect
  Step 6: Monitor boiling point elevation
  Step 7: Check product concentration
  Step 8: Verify steam economy ratio

SCENARIOS
----------------------------------------

  Triple-Effect Evaporation:
  Start three effects in series, achieve target concentration.

  Crystallization Operation:
  Operate cooling crystallizer — control supersaturation and crystal size.

  Scale Management:
  Detect heat transfer fouling and manage CIP cleaning cycle.

ALARM RESPONSE
----------------------------------------
  VACUUM_LOSS [ALARM]: Vacuum system failure
  SCALING [WARNING]: Heat transfer coefficient declining
  LEVEL_HIGH [ALARM]: Effect liquid level high — carryover risk
  CRYSTAL_SIZE [WARNING]: Crystal size distribution outside range
  PUMP_CAVITATE [WARNING]: Transfer pump cavitation detected

CONTROLS
