Liquid/liquid extraction mixer-settler plant
Optimize your extraction processes with a highly efficient mixer-settler system that ensures precise separation and integration in continuous multi-stage operations, ideal for producing high-purity extracts and intermediates.
Performs Multistage Liquid-Liquid Extraction
The Mixer-Settler Plant from De Dietrich Process Systems is an engineered solution designed for efficient multistage liquid-liquid extraction. It features a QVF® mixer-settler system, utilizing high-speed turbine stirrers or optional suction stirrers made from borosilicate glass 3.3 and PTFE for optimized mixing and phase separation. Ideal for industries such as pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals, it accommodates the extraction of active pharmaceutical ingredients, vitamin E, curcumin extracts, and more. With flow rates up to 4000 l/h and density differences down to 5%, this system ensures precise control and flexibility across a wide operational range. The unit is housed in a tubular steel structure with EX-rated options for safe operation in explosive environments. Energy efficiency is boosted by the adjustable stirrer speed, while its components are compatible with the QVF® SUPRA-Line system, enhancing customization and integration into existing setups. Maintenance is straightforward with easy access to components and compliance with TA-Luft standards ensures high corrosion resistance and minimal emissions.
