Batch distillation plants for diverse compound mixtures
Industries dealing with diverse and changing compound mixtures often face the challenge of efficiently separating components, especially in small and medium-sized operations. There is a need for a flexible and versatile distillation solution that can handle varying production demands while ensuring high product quality.
Distill and rectify multiple component mixtures
The batch distillation plants from GEA are designed to handle the distillation and rectification of diverse products or multiple component mixtures in a single unit. These systems are highly flexible, making them ideal for small and medium-sized capacities. The batch process can operate in two distinct modes: with a fixed reflux ratio, where compounds are separated based on boiling ranges, and with a varying reflux ratio, which maintains a constant distillate concentration. These plants are particularly useful in the pharmaceutical industry for solvent recovery, purification of high-value oils, and small-scale wastewater treatment. The choice of reboilers and thermal vapor recompression systems ensures energy efficiency and minimized steam consumption, catering to surrounding process and product parameters.
