Excess brine accumulated in the distiller, shown in the illustration, is removed during normal operation by __________. Illustration MO-0111

Correct Answer: Option D — the continuous action of ejector "22"

The ejector, labeled 22, serves as the primary means of removing brine from the vacuum-sealed shell of the flash evaporator. It uses a motive fluid to create the necessary suction to continuously extract the concentrated brine against the pressure differential between the shell and the overboard discharge.
