VoltaSplit is an advanced electrified distillation technology that dramatically reduces both energy consumption and CO₂ emissions in industrial processes by leveraging electricity and mechanical vapor recompression.
This adaptable technology can be customized to meet specific industry needs, making it a versatile solution for driving sustainability improvements in the chemical, agrochemicals, biofuels, or pharma sectors.VoltaSplit redefines distillation with a CO₂-neutral process that sets a new standard for sustainability.
By utilizing mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) powered by electricity, the system significantly reduces reliance on fossil fuels.
With energy savings of up to 95% compared to traditional methods, VoltaSplit minimizes operational costs while cutting direct CO₂ emissions by 100% depending on the electricity source.One of the standout features of VoltaSplit is its quick payback time, in most cases below two years.
This is achieved through significantly lower energy consumption and reduced water usage to lower operating costs, which create an economically and environmentally sustainable solution.
Companies can also capitalize on government incentives and subsidies for energy-efficient technologies, making VoltaSplit an even more attractive option for industries under pressure to meet sustainability goals imposed by market demands and regulations.VoltaSplit offers more than just efficiency it provides a complete solution from a market leader in separation processes. Sulzer’s expertise ensures optimal performance and reliability, from initial feasibility studies as well as CAPEX and OPEX assessments to carefully designed column internals that minimize pressure drops.
This integrated approach simplifies implementation and maximizes operational stability, giving companies confidence in their investment.Designed to adapt to diverse industrial needs, VoltaSplit excels in processes such as solvent distillation, recovery of light boilers like alcohols and esters, water removal, and product purification.
This versatility makes it an ideal choice for companies in the chemical, pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and renewable energy sectors.
Whether purifying methanol or recovering solvents, VoltaSplit™ meets the demand for high-performance and environmentally responsible solutions.
As global industries face rising energy costs and increasing regulatory scrutiny, VoltaSplit delivers a decisive edge.
Its design enables businesses to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising on efficiency or profitability.
By transitioning to electrified distillation, companies can align with market demands for greener processes while maintaining competitive advantage in their respective sectors.
