Single Stage Short Path Distillation Unit (SPDU) Pilot Plant

Single Stage Short Path Distillation Unit (SPDU) Pilot Plant Description

Distillation is a widely used process in various industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, oil and gas, and oil refining and recycling plants. Distillation columns are used to separate two boiling components by heat and mass transfer. The columns can be either batch or continuous, and are equipped with suitable packing, a liquid distributor, and other internals. Economy Solutions provides a range of distillation columns that can be customized to meet the specific needs of each application.

  • One of the unique offerings from Economy Solutions is the Short Path Distillation Unit (SPDU). SPDUs are designed with various inbuilt vapor separators that help to achieve a desired color of the product and reduce carryover. These units are also equipped with vacuum systems to ensure desired productivity and quality parameters. In addition, they are suitable for high heat sensitive products.
  • For customers who are interested in testing the performance of a SPDU before making a purchase, Economy Solutions also offers a pilot plant on a rental basis. The pilot unit is a skid-mounted unit that consists of feeding arrangement, pre-heater, degasser, cold trap, and receivers for distillate and concentrate. It occupies just 0.5 square meters of space and is suitable for a feed rate of 10-20 liters per hour. The unit can be heated by hot water or steam up to 200°C and can achieve a pressure down to 1 mbar.
  • This allows customers to generate scalable data and results during the pilot tests, which can be used to scale up to industrial systems for later applications. Overall, Economy Solutions is dedicated to providing efficient and cost-effective distillation solutions for a wide range of industries. With the help of their team, customers can customize a solution that is just right for their specific application needs.

  • Chemical and Processing Plants: SPDU can be used in chemical and processing plants to separate and purify a wide range of chemicals and substances. The short path distillation process is particularly effective for separating high-boiling point materials from low-boiling point materials. Food and Pharmaceuticals: SPDU can also be used in the food and pharmaceutical industries to separate and purify ingredients and compounds.
  • The low residence time and ability to operate at low pressures and temperatures make it ideal for heat-sensitive materials, such as essential oils and flavors. Solvent Recovery: SPDU can be used in solvent recovery operations to separate and purify solvents, such as ethanol and methanol.
  • The external condenser allows for high recovery rates of solvent, making it a cost-effective solution. R&D, Pilot plant, and Lab Scale-up: SPDU can also be used in research and development, pilot plant, and lab scale-up operations to test and optimize distillation processes.The compact and skid-mounted design makes it easy to install and transport, while the ability to operate at low pressures and temperatures allows for accurate and safe testing of heat-sensitive materials.
