Pilot Plant Setup Available Liquid-Liquid Extractor

Liquid- Liquid Extractor ( LLE) is having shell with eccentric agitator giving a
series of mixers and settlers. It is a mass transfer equipment where desirable
component from liquid feed is get extracted in immiscible solvent which has
greater afnity towards desirable component in feed.
After extraction we get, solvent with desirable component as extract and
feed with very little of desired component as rafnate. Continuous and
HEAVY dispersed phase is decided based on properties of two phases.
PHASE EXTRACT
Features
Ÿ Continuous operation as compared to batch operation in kettle.
Ÿ Reduction in solvent consumption, power and space as compared to
batch operation.
Ÿ Consistent results.
Ÿ High Extraction Efciency.

Applications
Ÿ Extraction of desired product or impurities from reaction mass
Ÿ Removal of acidity by washing Separation of close boiling components
Ÿ Waste water treatment for reduction in COD & BOD

Short Path Distillation Unit DRIVE

Operating principle of short path distillation unit (SPDU) is similar to thin lm
evaporator except internal condenser. Here internal condenser is installed

inside rotor cage assembly.
MECHANICAL SEAL
The feed enters the unit at top and get distributed into a thin lm on the inside
surface of shell. Heating medium passing through the jacket evaporates
volatile component in feed. The vapor generated ow across the rotor and STEAM
condense on internal condenser. This short path of vapor eliminate pressure

drop. Hence evaporation can be done at high vacuum as 0.001 mbar(a).
The distilled product and balance bottoms are taken out through separate
outlets.
SHELL

Features
Ÿ Operating pressure as low as 0.001 mbar(a). Hence product can be
distilled at lower temperature to avoid degradation. CONDENSATE
Ÿ With high vacuum and high heating temperature, very high boiling
components can be distilled easily. VACUUM
Ÿ Residence time of few seconds.
Ÿ Single pass evaporation. CONCENTRATE
Ÿ Good turn down capability.
Ÿ Low product hold up. COOLING COOLING
Ÿ Use of metal blades at high temperature gives more exibility than WATER IN WATER OUT
conventional roller design. DISTILLATE

Applications
Ÿ High vacuum distillation of bulk drugs, natural or synthetic vitamins,
esters, epoxy resins, fatty acids, glycerides', tocopherols
Ÿ Re-rening of lubrication oil.
Ÿ Purication of natural and synthetic waxes.
