Recovering high-boiling point components like toluene, formaldehyde, and phenol from industrial process streams is essential not only for maximizing product yield but also for enhancing energy and utility savings.
Sulzer’s advanced separation technologies provide efficient options to isolate these valuable components while optimizing energy use.
Sulzer integrates liquid-liquid extraction with advanced distillation techniques like pressure swing, vacuum, and entrainer distillation, alongside membrane separation and fractional crystallization to handle complex mixtures. These optimized processes significantly reduce steam and cooling water consumption compared to traditional distillation systems, leading to substantial energy savings.
Key benefits include:
Enhanced recovery of high-boiling substances with minimal degradation
Reduction in steam and cooling water usage, driving utility cost savings
Modular skid-mounted units allowing quick installation and retrofit
Capability to treat challenging process feeds with high efficiency
Applications span petrochemical plants, refineries, specialty chemical manufacturing, and wastewater treatment facilities where energy optimization is key to cost control and sustainability goals.
