Project Description
Liquid-liquid extraction is a technically advanced niche separation technology. This solution is applied when simpler alternatives such as distillation cannot meet the separation requirements. Components are extracted from the stream fed to the column using a solvent, without any energy-intensive evaporation step. For extraction involving high mass transfer and/or changes in physical properties, the SULZER Kuhni ECR agitated column is the perfect choice. Other solutions include structured packing columns and mixer-settlers.
