Single Stage Anti-Pollution
Vacuum System

Applications

Ideally suited for vacuum filtration and drying, the Single Stage Anti-Pollution Vacuum System technique offers superior performance in a wide variety of wet chemical processes including vacuum distillation, evaporation, crystallization, mixing and reactions where both single and multiple solvents are used.

Features

The liquid-ring pump is central to this vacuum system design. It generates superior levels of vacuum and pressure. The process adapted temperature control feature creates a more reliable pump operation and makes solvent recovery significantly more efficient. This pump is also designed to operate as a compressor at maximum efficiency - up to 3 bar absolute. Designed to handle many applications in one unit, the ring liquid cooler handles many solvents, always free of contamination. Designed for maximum contact and cooling, the falling film cooler results in high solvent recovery rates and exceptionally low exhaust gas solvent loads.

Advantages

Our Single Stage Anti-Pollution Vacuum System can handle substantial amounts of particles, solids and liquids in the incoming vapor stream without fouling. No waste water or waste oil is produced and no additional controls are necessary. The system operates quietly and without operator intervention.

The skid-mounted package is easy to install and offers low maintenance and cost-effective operation and the superior technology allows for the recovery and reuse of clean solvent with minimum air emissions and zero waste water. The system eliminates oil contamination, high condensate discharge and other environmental inefficiencies and is in full compliance with VOC regulations.

Using a pH adjusted caustic soda or similar liquid as the ring liquid neutralizes corrosive and toxic vapors in the system. A static mixer added upstream of the liquid ring pump allows for high scrubbing efficiency.
