Hydrocarbon solvent distillation unit for extractors
In hydrocarbon extraction processes, ensuring that the solvent used is free from contaminants is crucial for maintaining equipment cleanliness and optimizing extraction results. Without effective solvent distillation, residue can build up, leading to frequent maintenance and reduced throughput.
Cleanse solvents to enhance extraction efficiency
The Hydrocarbon Distillation Unit (HDU) from Precision Extraction Solutions serves as a key intermediary between the source solvent tank and the extractor. Designed to distill solvents such as butane, propane, and isobutane before they enter the extractor, this unit helps minimize contamination and increase operational efficiency. Compatible with Precision’s hydrocarbon systems, including the PX1, X10, X40, PX5, PX10, and PX30, the HDU can also be paired with various non-Precision systems upon custom evaluation. The stand-alone unit ensures continuous solvent refilling during soak times, reducing the need for frequent cleaning cycles and enhancing the number of extractions that can be performed daily. Technical Report certification through an Engineer Peer Review from Pressure Safety Inspectors (PSI) ensures compliance with fire safety codes across all states.
