Separation Processes

Continuous L-L extraction — no shaking required

The Asia FLLEX (flow liquid-liquid extraction) module is a flow chemistry equivalent to a separating funnel, yet involves no shaking, nor does it rely on gravity. It is suitable for the preparation of samples prior to analysis, further synthetic steps…

Process more beer with this larger clarifier

To be introduced next month at Brau Beviale 2012 (Nuremberg, Germany; November 13–15), the AC2500 beer clarifier processes up to 600 hL/h of beer, making it suitable for big breweries. The AC2500 can be used flexibly for pre-clarification before filtration,…

Efficient filter cartridges that require no precoating

Installed into Viledon sinTexx filter cartridges, this new corrugated polyester medium with nanofiber lining is said to achieve optimum performance when dealing with fine and difficult-to-handle dust and smoke. Compared to conventional corrugated polyester materials and ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) membranes,…

An economical way to distill large volumes of products

The patented Plate Molecular Still is capable of distilling large quantities of product (10 ton/h and more), under medium- or high-vacuum conditions. The system is suitable for applications involving temperature-sensitive substances, such as oils, fats, pharmaceuticals, vitamins, methyl esters and…

An alternative to organic extraction is now improved

The Model SFT-110 benchtop supercritical fluid extractor is an improved version of this company’s original system. Supercritical fluid extraction is an alternative to traditional extraction methods that use organic solvents. The SFT-110 uses supercritical carbon dioxide and is suitable for…
