Acetic Acid-Ethanol Distillation Column Tower
Precision Separation for Chemical Processing
The Acetic Acid-Ethanol Distillation Column Tower is engineered for high-efficiency separation and purification of acetic acid-ethanol mixtures in industrial chemical processes. Utilizing advanced fractional distillation principles, this vertical column tower enables the selective recovery of high-purity acetic acid and ethanol streams through precise temperature and pressure control across integrated trays or packing media.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., stainless steel grades), the tower ensures long-term durability when handling aggressive chemical mixtures. Its optimized internal configuration maximizes vapor-liquid contact, enhancing separation efficiency while minimizing energy consumption. The design accommodates continuous operation, supporting seamless integration into larger production systems such as esterification plants or solvent recovery units.
Key applications include:
-
Recovery of acetic acid from ethanol reaction mixtures.
-
Purification of ethanol for industrial reuse.
-
Separation of complex azeotropic or close-boiling point mixtures.
Customizable in height, diameter, and internals to match process requirements, the tower includes auxiliary support systems for reflux management, reboiling, and condensation. Engineered for operational reliability and low maintenance, it adheres to international standards for safety and performance in chemical manufacturing.
Ideal for: Chemical producers, petrochemical facilities, and biofuel plants seeking robust, scalable separation solutions.
