🔍 Key Concepts

• scale formation in distilling plant evaporators and heaters • relationship between brine concentration, temperature, and mineral precipitation • how plant operating conditions (capacity, vacuum, quality) affect scaling vs just indicating its effects

💭 Think About

• Which option describes a cause of scale forming on heating surfaces, and which describe results or unrelated conditions? • How does changing brine salinity (more concentrated vs more diluted) affect the point at which dissolved salts come out of solution and stick to hot surfaces? • What role does vacuum have in a distiller—does it directly cause scale, or mainly change boiling temperature and efficiency?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice directly increases the likelihood of salt precipitation on hot surfaces. • Separate symptoms/effects of scale (like decreased capacity or poor quality) from the operating condition that makes scaling more likely. • Think about whether higher or lower brine concentration promotes scale deposits in an evaporator.
