Liquid-Liquid Extractor (LLE) Pilot Plant

Liquid-Liquid Extractor (LLE) Pilot Plant Description

Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) is a widely used separation technique in the chemical and processing industry, food, pharmaceuticals, and oil and gas industries. The technique involves the transfer of a desired component from one liquid phase to another, immiscible liquid phase that has a greater affinity for the component. Economy Solutions offers a range of liquid-liquid extractors (LLEs) that consist of a shell with an eccentric agitator that creates a series of mixers and settlers, allowing for the transfer of desirable components from the liquid feed to an immiscible solvent.

  • Inline mixing and separators are essential for achieving the desired outcome in LLEs, and Economy Solutions has a variety of designs available to meet the specific needs of your process. The LLEs are designed with various kinds of rotary discs and various kinds of settlers to extract with minimal energy consumption. The unit can also be clubbed with other unit operations to get a complete solution.
  • One of the key advantages of LLEs is their versatility. They can be used for various purposes such as separating, purifying, and recycling of liquids. They are also ideal for applications where heat-sensitive products are involved. The LLEs are designed to be highly efficient, reducing energy consumption and operating costs. The unit is fabricated using high-quality materials and is built to withstand the demands of industrial processes, ensuring reliable and efficient operation.
  • Economy Solutions offers a pilot plant facility that allows customers to see the LLE in action and experience its benefits firsthand. The LLE is a rotating-disc type extraction column that uses a counter current extraction process to separate and purify liquids. The skid-mounted pilot unit includes feeding arrangements for the light phase, heavy phase, and settlers, making it easy to use at your own facility.
  • The pilot plant unit is compact, measuring only 0.5 m2, and is suitable for a feed rate of 10-20 lit/hr. The evaporator can be heated by hot water or steam up to 200°C, and operates at pressures as low as 1 mbar, making it suitable for heat-sensitive products. Additionally, the unit is made of stainless steel and can be customized to suit specific application needs.
