Sulzer’s stripping systems are engineered for reliable regulatory compliance. Every solution is backed by advanced process simulations and in-house pilot testing, ensuring it meets your specific environmental standards. Whether you’re dealing with solvent, or wastewater components, our proven designs help you stay compliant with confidence — while optimizing operational performance.
You’ll gain consistent plant performance, increased uptime, and reduced operating costs. Our systems are designed to maximize capacity while minimizing energy consumption, helping you get the most out of every unit of steam or energy used. With robust hardware and decades of mass transfer expertise, Sulzer delivers a seamless, efficient solution tailored to your specific application.
Our stripping technology is ideal for applications such as removing dissolved gases or solvents from liquid streams, treating wastewater, and recovering valuable chemical products. We have extensive experience in steam stripping of complex mixtures, including methanol, ethanol, IPA, MTBE, ethyl acetate, MEK, DCM, toluene, and many others. If you work with volatile or light components, we can help design the right system for your needs.
The stripping system is built under controlled conditions at an assembly shop and can be shipped to the customer's site via trucks. The offsite construction reduces project timelines while allowing clients to apply and obtain permits in parallel as the construction happens. The systems also include custom features like fouling resistant trays and other tailored mass-transfer components that ensure regulatory compliance and continuous, efficient operation.
Yes, Sulzer offers pilot testing services at their state-of-the-art facilities in Allschwil, Switzerland and Singapore. These services evaluate the performance of the stripping technology for specific complex chemicals in wastewater streams. Through testing, critical design parameters such as component volatility and separation efficiency are determined. The final system is optimized for both technical performance and cost-effectiveness.
