Three mini pilot columns for testing liquid-liquid extraction
Miniplants and pilot columns
In spite of considerable progress in the research and development of liquid-liquid extraction technology, designing an industrial-scale extractor based on theoretical and empirical methods is still challenging, and therefore a systematic test method is essential for a reliable scale-up.
Internals of Kühne agitated columns (ECR) for liquid-liquid extraction
Kühni agitated columns (ECR)
In extraction with high mass transfer and/or changing physical properties, this is the column of choice. The geometry of the agitated compartments can be adapted for changing hydrodynamic conditions. Other main features are special mixing turbines and perforated partition plates.
Product Recovery & Purification
Modular and Ready-to-Run
Our skid-mounted extraction units deliver fast, flexible, and compact solutions—pre-assembled and pre-tested for easy plug operation. Fully assembled and pre-tested before delivery, they ensure fast startup, reduced risk, and reliable performance.
Sulzer Extractors
Other Sulzer Extractors
In addition to the pilot column, Kühni™ Column and skid-mounted systems, Sulzer offers alternative extraction technologies, such as packed extraction columns, and Mixer-settlers /Mixer-settler-columns.
