Mechanical separation processes at DMT ENCOS: Efficient solutions for specific tasks

DMT ENCOS specialises in the planning of process engineering systems that are dominated by basic thermal operations. Nevertheless, mechanical separation processes play a decisive role in the fulfilment of specific tasks within these plants. Our expertise in mechanical separation processes includes the following main applications:

Applications of mechanical separation processes

  1. Solids separation:
  • The separation of solids from reaction mixtures is carried out by filtration units, membrane separation processes, separators or hydrocyclones. These methods are crucial for the purity and quality of the end products. The selection of the right separation technology depends on the specific properties of the solids and the process requirements.
  1. Product gas separation:
  • After two-phase reactors or in flare systems, product gas separation is carried out using phase separation vessels. This separation is important for the efficiency and safety of the processes. The precise design of the phase separation vessels is crucial to ensure optimum separation and minimisation of losses.
  1. Liquid-liquid separation:
  • In OvHD systems, liquid-liquid separation is realised by azeotropic distillation via three-phase separation vessels. This technology enables the effective separation of liquid mixtures that have different boiling points or chemical properties.
  1. Draining of fuel tanks:
  • Coalescence separators are used to remove water from fuel tanks, which improves the quality and safety of fuels. These separators utilise physical principles to aggregate and effectively remove water droplets.
  1. Droplet separation:
  • Droplets are separated from gas streams using demisters and plate packs to ensure the purity of the gases. These components are designed to maximise the efficiency of droplet separation while minimising pressure loss.

Technological solutions and tools

DMT ENCOS uses its own programming solutions (tools) for the design of separation vessels, which enable the dimensioning of two-phase and three-phase separators with or without plate packs or demisters. These tools are specifically designed to maximise the efficiency and accuracy of separation processes. In addition, we have our own calculation solutions for the design of hydrocyclones, which enable precise and reliable separation of solids.

Filtration units and membrane separation processes

Filtration units for solid-liquid separation are specified according to process and mechanical requirements. These units can contain specific, possibly rotating internal equipment for cleaning or media connections for backwashing processes. They are ultimately procured as packaged units from specialised suppliers. Membrane separation processes or separators are processed in a similar way to ensure the best possible performance and efficiency.

Innovative filter systems

Recently, DMT ENCOS has successfully designed filter systems for the large-scale separation of dust-like products from the dry air stream as external packaged units. These systems are designed to improve air quality and reduce environmental impact. They offer high efficiency in dust separation and are suitable for use in various industrial applications.
