Specialty — Solvent Recovery
SP-AZ Series — Azeotropic Separation Membranes
Ceramic-supported membranes that break azeotropes and cut distillation energy
Product description
The azeotropic separation membrane is designed to separate azeotropes produced in industries such as chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing. It effectively breaks the composition of azeotropes and can be coupled with distillation processes, significantly reducing the energy consumption of traditional distillation units — saving energy and lowering production costs.
It can also be integrated with reactive distillation columns to form membrane reactors, promoting reactions, increasing conversion rates, boosting production capacity and reducing cost.
