Distillation Column Manufacturers, Suppliers & Exporters in Mumbai| NES India Engineers
A Distillation Column is an essential piece of process equipment used for separating components in a liquid mixture based on differences in their boiling points. It is widely used in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and food processing for the purification and separation of liquids.
Key Features:
- Material of Construction: SS304 / SS316 / MS with suitable lining (depending on application)
- Column Diameter & Height: Customized based on feed rate and separation requirements
- Trays or Packing: Bubble cap trays, sieve trays, or structured/random packing as per design
- Reboiler & Condenser: Integrated to provide energy input and condensation
- Feed Entry & Take-off Points: Strategically placed for optimum efficiency
- Instrumentation: Level indicators, temperature gauges, pressure sensors, and control valves
Working Principle
The mixture is heated, and the vapor rises through the column. As it ascends, components with lower boiling points travel upward and condense at various heights within the column. Heavier components condense and are drawn off lower in the column. This allows effective separation of multiple components.
Types of Distillation Columns:
- Batch Distillation Column
- Continuous Distillation Column
- Fractional Distillation Column
- Vacuum Distillation Column
Applications
- Solvent recovery
