Distillation Columns

Distillation Columns

Overview

Glass-lined steel (Glasteel®), borosilicate glass 3.3, alloy or fluoropolymer-lined shell are the backbone of your distillation column. Whether your separation requirements are for distillation, stripping, rectification, absorption, or batch distillation the process engineers at GMM Pfaudler complete the column solution by designing the column internal configuration for your specific process.

Process simulation and pilot testing

Pfaudler’s vessel engineers provide the mechanical design and corrosion technologies for your column shells. Pfaudler’s process engineers are mass transfer experts with decades of practical experience. They use the latest process simulation software to model your process and determine optimum operating parameters and configurations using Aspen Hysys®, then validate the model at Pfaudler’s modern pilot plant test facility. Pfaudler designs batch distillation columns for batch process applications involving its reactor technologies, or distillation column systems for continuous process applications.
