Treatments

With techniques such as distillation, rectification and evaporation, combined with a large team of experts in the field, we work on waste valorization and energy recovery.

Solvent valorization and recovery

Through distillation, we separate a target product from the rest of the impurities in the liquid mixture thanks to differences in volatility or boiling point.

Through rectification, we separate several individual components from a residual liquid mixture. Based on the different boiling points of each target product, we recirculate the mixture to our columns and, through an iterative process, proceed with fractional distillation to separate the desired solvents.

Industrial water treatment

At each production facility, we have a water treatment plant consisting of water distillation reactors (evaporation) and a fully automated biological plant (equipped with MBR technology), which allows us to obtain purified water that meets the parameters established by current laws for wastewater discharge.

Through evaporation, we heat the mixture until the water evaporates, concentrating the non-volatile components that remain in the concentrate. At the same time, we condense the generated vapors to send the distilled water to the biological treatment plant for purification.
