Organic solvent nanofiltration for liquid separation
Optimize your process streams with solvent recovery that minimizes energy use, maintains the integrity of sensitive compounds, and eliminates complex thermal steps while ensuring high-purity outputs.
Separates and Purifies Solvent-Based Liquid Mixtures
The BORSIG Organic Solvent Nanofiltration (OSN) unit offers a robust solution for separating complex liquid mixtures in the petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Utilizing a feed-and-bleed system, it facilitates gentle separation without thermal stress, preserving temperature-sensitive molecules and recovering valuable components efficiently. This innovative membrane technology allows for the effective concentration and purification of aromatics, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and homogeneous catalysts, while ensuring energy savings and reduced waste disposal costs. Its modular design provides flexibility in capacity adjustments and seamless integration into existing production lines. Constructed with solvent-resistant materials, the OSN unit is designed for durability and reliability in high-demand environments, ensuring minimal maintenance and downtime. Compliance with industry standards and customization options available for specific requirements make BORSIG OSN units an ideal choice for companies aiming to enhance their separation and recovery processes.
