Multi column Distillation Plant

Multicolumn Distillation Plant

We manufacture high-quality equipment Multicolumn Distillation Plant designed to produce 100% pyrogen-free sterile distillate & chemically pure confirms IP/BP/USP standard. Multicolumn distilled water plant works on the interstate heat exchanger principle, dramatically reducing heating energy consumption and cooling water. Thus, produce a large volume of pyrogen-free distillate at a fraction of conventional systems’ cost. All documents related to factory acceptance test (FAT), Installation Qualifications (IQ), Operation Qualification (OQ), PQ as part of the operational manual.

Multi-Column Distillation Plant is based on FINN-AQUA design. It consists of specially designed columns that make optimum use of interstage heat exchange (Multi-effect distillation method) to produce pure pyrogen-free sterile distilled water for injectables as per IP/BP specification. The vapor with high velocity and under pressure passes over a SPECIALLY DESIGNED SPIRAL BAFFLE system, which develops tremendous centrifugal force and eliminates any chances of pyrogens carrying over in the vapors.

 To industries where 100% pure Pyrogen – free water-for injection plays a role, Multicolumn Distillation Plant is the perfect solution. Available in capacities ranging, the Multicolumn Distilled plant is used for its economy, low maintenance, and low operation costs.

 By the Multi-Effect Distillation method, significant energy (75% approx.) is saved compared to the conventional method. All contact parts are made out of AISI 316 quality stainless steel and mirror polished. All pipes and tubes are virtually seamless.

Operation:

The preheated feed water (through condenser) is fed into the first column, where 33% of feed water is converted into steam under pressure by outside boiler steam. The pure steam produced in the first column having a temperature of 135 degrees Celsius, and the remaining feed water goes to the 2nd column. The pure steam is used as a heating media in the 2nd column and converts part of the remaining feed water into steam. In the process, the steam itself condenses back into the water. This process is repeated till the last columns, each working at low temperature & pressure compared to the one before it. The steam produced in the last column is condensed in the condenser by feed water and cooling water. As external heat is required only to convert the 33% of feed water, the heating energy required is reduced by 67%.

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

  •  Distillation column houses the heat exchanger & pyrogen separation system.
  •  Heat exchanger in the first column with Double Tube Sheet Design as per USP requirement.
  • Common condenser at the end of the distillation process to condense steam & separate gas from distillate
  • The vent on the condenser is with 0.2-micron bacteria retentive filter for safe shut down.
  •  The microscopic procedure inspected all seamless pipes with orbital welding.
  •  Designing is as per ASME std. All surface finish better than 0.3 Ra.

 

  • Compact unit, easy to maintain and operate.
  • Total energy saving is 75% as less heating energy and less cooling water is required.
  • Pyrogens help remove it by centrifugal force developed & specially designed spiral baffle.
  • Maintenance cost is low as there are no moving parts.
  • Trouble-free performance of multi-stage pump (horizontal).
  • We provide it with Compact control panel board.
  • All contact parts are of s.s.316 quality. We make all pipes and tubes are seamless and gaskets from Teflon.
  • Distillate temperature is relatively high. ( 90-95′)
  • Distilled water as per IP/BP standards and conductivity of fewer than 1 microchips/cm.
