Liquid-Liquid Separations

Koch-Glitsch applies its separation media and internals in two-phase (liquid-liquid) and three-phase (two liquid phases and one vapor phase) designs. The design is chosen based on the nature of the feed, as well as the degree of separation needed.

When plants and existing equipment are pushed beyond their original design capacity, adding a Koch-Glitsch liquid-liquid separation system can maximize the capacity of existing drums, minimize product loss, reduce downstream corrosion, and enhance product purity. For existing vessels, Koch-Glitsch separation products can be designed and manufactured for easy retrofits, often without requiring welding to the vessel shell. For new applications, utilizing a Koch-Glitsch separation system can reduce the vessel length and diameter to allow optimal initial capital expenditure.

Koch-Glitsch separations products can help:

• Improve product purity
• Reduce the loss of valuable chemicals and products
• Increase plant throughput capacity
• Protect valuable downstream process equipment
• Provide custom-engineered equipment for expedited delivery
