🔍 Key Concepts

• Low pressure distilling plant operation and normal brine level in the sight glass • Effect of high brine levels on salinity, scaling, and evaporator efficiency • Purpose of the brine eductor / brine discharge system in maintaining correct level

💭 Think About

• What does a brine level above the sight glass tell you about what is happening inside the evaporator shell and over the heater bundle? • Which adjustment would realistically LOWER the brine level and help the discharge system clear concentrated brine, rather than increase the risk of carry-over or tube scaling? • Would it ever be considered normal operation to run with the brine level above the indicated sight glass range, and what risks would that pose to the distillate quality?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what the normal brine operating level should be in relation to the sight glass and heater bundle. • Check which choice involves correcting the cause of the high level (feed vs discharge) instead of masking the symptom by re‑setting hardware. • Make sure the action you choose would reduce carry-over risk (salt water entering the distillate) and protect the seawater heater bundle from damage or fouling.
