Super Gravity Separator (Higee Distillation System), Separates Methanol from Water, Recycle, Reuse

Model Number: BZ Series-A-M Key Specifications/Special Features: Replacement for distillation tower:Higee (high gravity) distillation machine (HDM), also named as higee rotating zigzag bed (RZB), is used for continuous rectification operations that contains liquid-liquid separationHigee technology:Higee (high gravity) refers to a centrifugal field generated by high speed revolution in order to replace the regular gravitational fieldPromising process intensification technology that has been developed over 30 yearsHigee distillation machine (HDM) is the typical application for the higee technology

In a HDM, gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency is enhanced by an order of magnitude higher than that in a conventional distillation column

Centrifugal force is induced by high speed rotating zigzag bed inside the equipment, therefore the liquid is disintegrated into tiny droplets to enhance the mass transfer

Comparing to the conventional distillation column, the HDM has dramatically reduced the equipment size, simplified the process operation, saved energy and lowered the cost

Applications:

• Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and pharmaceutical intermediates
• Fine chemicals
• Petrochemicals
• Biochemicals (example bio-diesel)
• Colorants and dyes Industry

Patent:
