#LIQUID LIQUID EXTRACTION TECHNIQUE SOFTWARE#

Unlike distillation processes, which can often be designed using process simulation and hydraulic rating software alone, extraction involves complex chemical phenomena at the liquid-liquid interface which is very difficult to model to allow for commercial scale process design. Nearly all extraction projects require pilot testing to provide the basis for commercial process design and a process performance guarantee. However, liquid-liquid extraction has become the standard for certain processes, such as the recovery of high boiling organics or non-volatile inorganics from dilute aqueous streams. Distillation is often considered first in the hierarchy of separations methods, and is taught extensively in chemical engineering curricula. Our liquid-liquid extraction / solvent extraction design expertise includes sieve tray columns, packed (SMVP) columns, pulsed columns, rotating disc contactor (RDC) columns, SCHEIBEL® columns, and KARR® columns.Īt Koch Modular, we do more than sell extraction equipment we supply solutions to difficult separation challenges. Our LLE / SX columns are engineered to fulfill the challenging purification requirements that exist in the alternative energy, biobased & renewable chemicals, flavor and fragrance, metals and mining, petrochemical and hydrocarbons, pharmaceuticals, polymers, and specialty chemicals industries. The Koch Modular Extraction Technology Group has decades of experience designing and supplying liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) / solvent extraction (SX) equipment.
