Thermal separation process

The thermal separation process is a commonly used separation process in process engineering. In this process of thermal separation of media, part of the medium is evaporated by distillation and condenses elsewhere in the process. It is important to maintain the correct temperature window for the medium in question, as many organic substances decompose at comparatively low temperatures. The end product would suffer from considerable quality losses as a result.

The feeding pump

The CHEM pump enables precise, gentle and uniform feeding of the fluid mixture into the column. The materials and the shaft seal of the pump can be individually adapted and matched to the respective application. Thanks to the WITTE modular system, the pump can also be flexibly adapted to new, changed process data at a later date. If required for the process, both the pump head and the shaft seal can be heated.

Depending on the process, both the head product and the sump product may be of interest for further use. Quite often, both products can also be used further. Solvents, for example, can be returned to the original process and thus remain in a cycle.
