The main components of this utility model will be described in detail below:

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, the outlet of storage tank 1 is connected to the inlet of the first conveying pump 8 via a pipeline. The outlet of the first conveying pump 8 is connected to the inlet of the first-effect falling film evaporator 2 via a pipeline. The outlet of the first-effect falling film evaporator 2 is connected to the inlet of the second conveying pump 9 via a pipeline. The outlet of the second conveying pump 9 is connected to the inlet of the second-effect falling film evaporator 3 via a pipeline. The outlet of the second-effect falling film evaporator 3 is connected to the inlet of the third conveying pump 10 via a pipeline. The outlet of the third conveying pump 10 is connected to the... The feed inlet of the forced circulation evaporator crystallizer 4 is connected by a pipeline. The discharge outlet of the forced circulation evaporator crystallizer 4 is connected by a pipeline to the feed inlet of the crystallizer separator 5. The mother liquor outlet of the crystallizer separator 5 is connected by a pipeline to the feed inlet of the third transfer pump 10. The crystal outlet of the crystallizer separator 5 is connected by a pipeline to the feed inlet of the centrifuge 6. The liquid outlet of the centrifuge 6 is connected by a pipeline to the feed inlet of the third transfer pump 10. The solid discharge outlet of the centrifuge 6 is connected by a pipeline to the feed inlet of the crystal storage tank 7.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the air inlet of the first-effect falling film evaporator 2 is connected to the steam delivery pipeline through a pipeline, the exhaust port of the first-effect falling film evaporator 2 is connected to the air inlet of the second-effect falling film evaporator 3 through a pipeline, and the exhaust port of the second-effect falling film evaporator 3 is connected to the air inlet of the forced circulation evaporation crystallizer 4 through a pipeline.

[0028] The method and principle of this utility model are as follows: In use, the lysine fermentation broth is pre-concentrated by passing through a first-effect falling film evaporator 2 and a second-effect falling film evaporator 3 in sequence. The high heat exchange capacity of the falling film evaporator is used to improve the concentration efficiency of the lysine fermentation broth and reduce the energy consumption during concentration. Then, the concentrated lysine fermentation broth is sent to a forced circulation evaporation crystallizer 4 for crystallization treatment to improve crystallization efficiency and quality. Then, the lysine fermentation broth treated by the forced circulation evaporation crystallizer 4 is sent to a crystallization separator 5 for solid-liquid separation. The liquid after solid-liquid separation is sent back to the forced circulation evaporation crystallizer 4 for circulation treatment to improve the crystallization rate. The crystals after solid-liquid separation are sent to a centrifuge 6 to further remove residual liquid in the crystals and improve crystallization purity. The separated liquid is recovered to the forced circulation evaporation crystallizer 4 for circulation treatment to improve the crystallization rate. Finally, the crystals are sent to a crystal storage tank 7. In the above process, the steam flows sequentially through the first-effect falling film evaporator 2, the second-effect falling film evaporator 3, and the forced circulation evaporation crystallizer 4, and the temperature gradually decreases. That is, as the concentration of lysine fermentation liquid increases, the evaporation temperature is appropriately reduced, which can reduce scale buildup during operation and make the crystallization particle size more uniform.
