Columns

In terms of basic process engineering applications, we can make the following rough classification:

• Distillation columns
• Washing / absorption columns
• Stripping / desorption columns
• Drying columns

High-performance columns for high-purity products with optimum energy efficiency are also part of our portfolio. The process engineering task generally pursues the following aspects

• New design
• Debottlenecking
• Revamp

or in detail the energetic optimization as a target. This also includes the optimization or redesign of distillation sequences for the separation of multi-substance mixtures.

ENCOS offers the whole range of services in the sense of EPCM projects. Some of our Highlights are:

• Thermodynamic and hydrodynamic simulations of columns, peripherals and processes (also dynamic if required)
• Column simulation optionally based on separation stage or mass transport
• Selection and process-technical specification of columns, column internals and equipment as well as machines of the required periphery
  • Reboiler
  • Condenser
  • Preheater
  • Flash drums
  • OvHD drum
  • Pumps
  • Reflux splitter
• Constructive apparatus design including the necessary strength calculations and proofs of stability
• Instrumentation and optimized control design

We look forward to discuss your individual requirements togehter with our department.
