What is SOLVENT DISTILLATION and how does it help the environment??

There are chances of producing dangerous and hazardous waste, especially at the time of manufacturing in various industries which leads to the environmental burden. Therefore, it is very important that the companies should follow the government regulations for the environment at the level of disposing of hazardous waste materials safely. One of the greatest ways of following environmental regulations is THE PROCESS OF SOLVENT DISTILLATION This process also helps in getting back the raw materials that are lost during the process. The process of distillation is considered to be one of the most eco-friendly and cost-effective methods of minimizing hazardous waste at the time of processing solvents.

●      Solvents

Solvents are the type of molecules that can be easily dissolved with the other types of molecules. The other types of molecules are called solutes. A solvent could be in any form such as it could be liquid, solid, or gaseous forms. The basic function of the molecules of the solvent is to pull the molecules of the solute. Due to this, the molecules of the solute get eventually distributed properly all over the solvent during the whole process. And this mixture is known as a homogeneous mixture that cannot be separated without any chemical process. The mixture cannot be separated physically and you will have to involve heat or other chemical processes to separate the mixture of solvent and solute. 

●      Solvent distillation

Solvent distillation is a process when the mixture of two or more substances gets separated in the form of its component fractions so that the maximum and the desired purity can be achieved. The process of solvent distillation can be done with the help of removal, of heat application. When it comes to the solvent distillation recovery process, then it occurs when the mixture gets boiled and the vapors of the mixture will be richer in terms of low boiling points of the components. After the vapor of the mixture gets cooled down and condensed further, the liquid which is formed can be reusable for various industries. The portion of the mixture which doesn’t vaporize and has a higher boiling point remains at the bottom and this can also be used by various industries as a valuable fuel.

●      Environment friendly

The process of solvent distillation plays a major role in helping the environment. It helps in reducing the level of hazardous and dangerous waste materials produced and disposed of in the environment.  The solvent distillation helps in recovering the waste materials and makes them reusable. It extends the life of the used products and ensures that the waste materials can be valuable again. It also helps in reducing the carbon footprint of the companies at the time of converting the hazardous waste into energy which will be further used as a power to the solvent recovery stills. Not only this the process of solvent distillation also helps in improving air quality and reducing pollution by preventing the generation of more waste materials.

The Functions of Salt Maker Evaporator Crystallizers

When it comes to the basic function of the Saltmaker evaporator crystallizer, then it helps in the brine treatment which is used for the applications of zero liquid discharge and minimization of volume. The Saltmaker evaporator crystallizer is a unique design of crystallizers that is built up in such a way so that the process of brine treatment of the toughest water can be simplified. Let’s take a look at the benefits of the Saltmaker evaporator crystallizer over the ordinary or conventional crystallizer.

Solid Production

One of the main benefits of the Saltmaker evaporator crystallizer is that it helps in the reliable production of the solids. The main function of a crystallizer is creating crystals. In the Saltmaker evaporator crystallizer, solid salt is released to the binning system.

One Step Treatment

Another major benefit of the Saltmaker evaporator crystallizer is, it is also known as the one-step brine treatment. Therefore, it doesn’t involve any pretreatment process and for zero liquid discharge applications, no extra equipment or process is required.

No Scaling, Plugging and Corrosion

Saltmaker evaporator crystallizer has a benefit of higher rates of circulation, the constant changing of saturation gradient, surfaces which are non-stick and non-corroding. And due to all these benefits, the Saltmaker evaporator crystallizer leads the brine treatment process without any scaling, lugging and corrosion.

Automation Process

Saltmaker evaporator crystallizers involve intelligent automation and the self-cleaning process. The Saltmaker crystallizer has the option of automatic start and stops function as well.

No Failure

The process of the Saltmaker evaporator crystallizer doesn’t involve any single point of failure. The Saltmaker crystallizer is built up in such a way that it consists of redundant process sets, unlike any other crystallizers. Therefore, even if one process set is lost, then the crystallizer will keep running with the 92% capacity.

Modular Build Up

The modular build-up and scale-up of Saltmaker crystallizers help in easy delivering, easy installation and expansion which will lead to the adaptation of the crystallizer according to the growing capacity of the process.

Humidification Dehumidification

The Saltmaker crystallizers follow the operation of low temperature with air humidification dehumidification which helps in avoiding the pressure vessels and constructing them with the help of reinforced plastics.

The Reliable Production Of Solid And Discharge

The production of crystals with Saltmaker evaporator crystallizer involves the continuous formation and growth of crystals with the help of the circulation of brine slurry. The growth of the salt happens favorably on the nucleation sites of suspended seed crystals rather than on the surfaces of heat transfer. The crystals are produced in a larger amount and then they are discharged with an automated binning system. The remaining smaller seeds of salt and concentrated liquor get recycled in the Saltmaker evaporator crystallizer and the solid produced discharges in the bag. When the bag gets full of the discharged salt, then the system provides the notification for the drainage process.
