Condensation and separation unit for solvent handling

Enhance solvent management and VOC recovery with this compact condensation and separation unit, minimizing space and piping while ensuring efficient, modular operation for liquid formulations and active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Condenses, Separates, and Recovers Solvents Efficiently

The Thermipack® Condensation and Separation Unit from De Dietrich Process Systems integrates multiple processing steps—condensation, separation, and VOC recovery—into a compact, modular design ideal for biopharmaceutical, fine chemical, and specialty chemical industries. This unit utilizes a two-stage plate condenser to effectively reduce uncondensed solvents, enhancing both the recovery rate and operational efficiency. Its applications span across producing antibiotic solutions, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), specialty solvents, and plant-based extracts. Handling both continuous and batch processes, Thermipack® is adaptable to various scales of operation, including pilot and modular setups, with options in enamel, stainless steel, or alloy construction to suit specific material compatibilities. The system’s design reduces space requirements by up to four times compared to conventional setups and minimizes piping by 80%, leading to lower installation and investment costs. Ensuring ease of maintenance, its FDA-compliant interior supports quick, reliable cleaning with integrated spray nozzles, eliminating the need for disassembly.
