Industrial columns and towers for chemical processing

Optimize your chemical production with robust columns and towers, designed for precise separation and purification processes ensuring high yields and product consistency.

Facilitates Separation and Purification Processes

Bachiller’s custom-designed industrial columns and towers offer tailored solutions for diverse separation and purification needs. Utilizing advanced internal designs like trays and distribution pipes, these structures enhance efficiency in catalyst regeneration, distillation, and rectification. Suitable for producing polyethylene and fine chemicals, they accommodate material options such as austenitic stainless steels and nickel alloys for corrosion resistance. With diameters up to 7,500 mm and heights reaching 50,000 mm, they integrate effortlessly into high-scale operations in petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries. Certified under ASME and EN standards, these columns ensure safety and compliance, supported by options like internal polishing for stringent process requirements.
